Sweetman and Burton claimed that Carrey obtained the drugs that White used to kill herself under a false name, and provided them to her despite knowing she was prone to depression and had previously attempted suicide. Furthermore, they alleged that Carrey gave White “three STDswithout warning her.”
Carrey filed a countersuit in 2017, claiming the lawsuits were anattempt to extortthe actor. He also released a statement after the lawsuit denying any culpability in her death.
“What a terrible shame. It would be easy for me to get in a back room with this man’s lawyer and make this go away, but there are some moments in life when you have to stand up and defend your honor against the evil in this world,” the statement read. “I will not tolerate this heartless attempt to exploit me or the woman I loved. Cat’s troubles were born long before I met her and sadly her tragic end was beyond anyone’s control. I really hope that some day soon people will stop trying to profit from this and let her rest in peace.”
The lawsuit against the actor was dismissed in Feb. 2018.
