Jim Carrey has filed court papers responding to a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Cathriona’s mother Brigid Sweetman – who claims her daughter took her own life after the star gave her three STDs – and insists he was involved in "two romantic relationships" with her between 2012 and 2015.
According to the actor, his late ex-girlfriend Cathriona White married Mark Burton when she was still dating him.
He said Cathriona brought up the subject of marriage in late 2012 because she was keen to tie the knot to obtain a green card, but he was not, and he was shocked when he later found out she had wed another guy, Mark Burton – who has also filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the actor – a few months later.
According to MailOnline, he stated in his declaration: "To my surprise, I later learned that in January 2013 Cat married a man in Las Vegas for her green card, while at the same time maintaining her actual relationship with me.
"Cat was regularly with me at my home in January 2013 and I was supporting her financially, and we were very much in love.
"I never met her green card husband Mark Burton until after Cat’s death, nor did Cat discuss with me any details of her marriage to him while she was alive.
"Nor did she ever tell me that she had a wedding or that she had ever been courted by Mr. Burton and she never wore a wedding ring."
Jim also claims his late ex-girlfriend’s mother told him she was suicidal and asked him to buy her a new home.
According to TMZ, Brigid believed she was being blamed for Cathriona’s death because of a "horrific and degrading" Facebook post she’d left on her daughter’s birthday.
And Jim alleges she told him, "I am on the point of killing myself," and asked him to buy a new house for her.
But when the ‘Mask’ star declined, he claims she "became angry and bitter".
In the documents, Jim’s lawyers have accused Brigid of filing her lawsuit for financial gain, claiming she never loved her daughter and "she loves only money."
