RE: Jim Carrey's 28 y.o. GF commits suicide
From Drudge:
NOT FUNNY: Jim Carrey to face trial over ex-girlfriend's suicide...
Quote:Jim Carrey has failed in his attempt to get a wrongful death lawsuit over his ex-girlfriend's suicide thrown out of court.
A judge confirmed a trial would go ahead over claims the actor, 55, used his 'wealth, influence and celebrity status' to provide the prescription drugs on which Cathriona White, 30, overdosed.
The Irish make-up artist's husband Mark Burton and her mother Brigid Sweetman are suing the Dumb And Dumber star in Los Angeles.
Jim Carrey has failed in his attempt to get a wrongful death lawsuit over his ex-girlfriend's suicide thrown out of court
White's mother Brigid Sweetman (pictured left) and estranged husband Mark Burton (right) filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Carrey in October after White committed suicide in 2015
Michael Avenatti, who represents the pair, said: 'In light of the court's recent rulings entirely in our favour, we look forward to the trial in April.
'The public deserves to know the truth.'
Carrey's lawyer Raymond Boucher had asked Los Angeles Superior Court to strike out the case.
But Judge Deirdre Hill ruled that Carrey should face a jury over the claims of wrongful death and allegations under the Drug Dealer Liability Act.
She also ruled against Carrey's privacy request and said the jury should hear medical evidence regarding claims that he gave Ms White three sexually transmitted diseases.
Court documents detailed texts between the pair, in which White said she was concerned about STDs, and Carrey sought to reassure her.
White, who began dating The Mask actor in 2012, contracted both herpes and chlamydia in 2013.
Carrey reportedly dismissed claims that he transmitted them to her and said she had contracted them from someone else.
Following the confrontation, the pair broke up, with Carrey sending her a text message saying: 'You have become too much drama.'
Text messages show Cathriona had discussed concerns about contracting STDs from the actor, but Carrey appears to dismiss the claims that she got them from him and says she may have contracted the diseases from someone else
Cathriona White was found dead of a prescription drug overdose in her California residence September 2015
A letter from White was also shown, in which she told Carrey she felt she had been 'disrespected, degraded, called a w***e, an opportunist, threatened.'
She continued: 'I will always be damaged goods, have a stigma attached.'
It was not clear when the letter was written.
White wrote a letter to Carrey claiming he called her a 'whore' and an 'opportunist' when she confronted him about the STDs
Mr Boucher denied that Carrey would now attempt to settle the case, adding: 'We are preparing for trial.'
Carrey also dropped a request for Ms Sweetman to put a bond of 372,000 dollars (£290,000) aside to go towards the comedian's costs if he is successful in fending off the case.
Mr Boucher wrote to the court asking for the request to be dismissed on the basis that Ms Sweetman lacks the means to pay and is ill.
Ms White, from Cappawhite, Co Tipperary, was found dead in her Los Angeles home in September 2015.
Canadian-born Carrey previously dismissed the allegations as 'malicious' and 'predatory'.
The 20-day trial is due to begin on April 26.

RE: Jim Carrey's 28 y.o. GF commits suicide
The summary posted by heavy seems to spell things out. The parents are looking for money to cash in on their daughter's tragedy, and want to smear Carrey to do it. The question was asked if he would just settle, which I think is exactly what the parents were hoping for. He's fighting, and he also demanded they put forth a bond for the money he will spend to defend himself, so when he wins, they pay for his legal expenses.
It's sad their daughter was mentally unstable and suicidal just because the guy she was dating broke up with her. However, that doesn't mean he now owes her parents some kind of sick ambulance chasing payout.
Fortunately, they're all liberals, so this is just left on left infighting.

"Heavy" and other industry outlets are going to side with the Hollywood establishment, the same way most of the MSM sides with Woody Allen or Roman Polanski.
I'm not saying that Carrey has killed her or pushed her to kill herself, but he's definitely capable of this, and him being a star who's totally lined up with the Hollywood ethos and deeply steeped into the occult, it could have been covered up. Some kind of foul play or nefarious scheming by him shouldn't be automatically dismissed.

RE: Jim Carrey's 28 y.o. GF commits suicide
"911", we aren't here to talk about whether he's a very sketchy dude. We aren't even here to talk about whether he is the type of guy who is capable of this.
We're just saying it seems (keyword there, seems) that incriminating a guy because his "wealth, influence and celebrity status" led to a woman committing suicide seems dumb.
This isn't an automatic dismissal. Didn't she commit suicide almost 2 years ago? It seems like they would have found some foul play, oh I don't know, within a few days of her death.
I actually hadn't thought of the cash grab theory when I posted the story. My brain must have been in naivete mode. That does seem highly likely, however, given the everything in that news story.
I mean, it's not like they're going after him for any type of murder, or new evidence or anything. They're trying to get him on using his 'wealth, influence and celebrity status' to provide the prescription drugs.
Seems like if he can avoid any sniff of foul play for 2 years, it's not likely he'll be found guilty (cue the Cosby story). This just wastes judges time and makes lawyers money. It's not tough to imagine both Cosby and Carrey's lawyers weren't too upset when judicial proceedings started to rumble.

RE: Jim Carrey's 28 y.o. GF commits suicide
Even with my admittedly pessimistic view of things, I never thought when reading the first page that this could ever go to court in this way. She killed herself. As Atlanta Man rightly said, there just is no link between cause and effect for JC to be anywhere near on the hook for this. And Zel is completely correct when he says that this would be laughed out of court anywhere else. Except maybe UK, and that's only a speculative maybe based on a recent trip there.
I don't have sympathy for this girl. She cheated on her husband with no regard for him whatsoever; it's only for JC that the long, heartfelt letter came out. This is just one cuck amongst millions; he did not even register in her plans such that she dated JC while still married.
As far as motivation goes I don't rule out alpha widow but I also think it could be that her elaborate construction of her Hollywood elite famous lifestyle by proxy of JC had obviously come to a sudden halt due to the breakup. She had pictures of private jets, fancy restaurants, mansions on her IG and JC was the one who paid for that obviously. She was extremely ambitious but the more extreme the goal, the less likelihood of it coming true. For example, maybe she desired to become as famous and rich as an A-List celebrity actress and model in her own right. As she nears 30 and it begins to dawn that this is very unlikely to happen, she lives the lifestyle similar to that of such a high status celebrity by working out and using her vagina. She is hitting the wall, her mother calls her a failure, her celebrity lifestyle has ended due to the breakup; she can't go back to small town Ireland now, she has seen too much. She would rather kill herself than go back to her shitty little town to perform some job she classes as beneath her. And so she does. That's not JC's fault.
