Jim Carrey is being sued for wrongful death again, this time from his deceased girlfriend’s mother.
Cathriona White’s mum, Brigid Sweetman, is claiming her daughter killed herself after she found out she had contracted several STDs from the actor.
But Brigid alleges Jim did more than just infect her daughter with three sexually transmitted diseases.
The lawsuit claims the funnyman shamed Cat by calling her a “whore” and threatened her, saying he would get “fixers” to silence her.
Cat’s mum alleges she was shamed by Jim before she killed herself.
According to TMZ, the lawsuit says Cathriona learnt of her STD status in 2013, allegedly revealing she had contracted chlamydia as well as two types of herpes.
Brigid claims the 54-year-old actor brushed off her claims, alleging she must have contracted the diseases from being with someone else.
Jim was visibly distressed at Cathriona’s funeral.
The distraught mother claims Jim then dumped her daughter when she persisted in saying it must have been him, saying to her: “You have become too much drama.”
It is alleged the actor then sent “fixers” after Cat that scared her out of coming forward.
According to the suit, Jim’s former girlfriend then underwent extreme emotional turmoil before overdosing on Ambien, Propranolol and Percoset.
The actor has previously slammed wrongful death accusations as “evil”.
The drugs were said to have belonged to Jim, obtained under a false name.
The actor responded to the first wrongful death suit filed against him earlier this year, declaring it “evil” and “heartless”, and slamming any suggestions he played a part in Cat’s death, which was officially ruled a suicide.
The actor’s representatives have yet to comment on the new suit.
