Jim Carrey's ex's tragic note revealed
1 Oct
Summary
- Carrey's ex-girlfriend died by apparent overdose in 2015.
- A suicide note from her expressed deep sadness and loss.
- Lawsuits alleged Carrey supplied drugs, which he denied.
In 2015, actor Jim Carrey experienced profound grief following the death of his on-again, off-again girlfriend, Cathriona White. White, an Irish-born makeup artist, passed away from a suspected prescription drug overdose at her Los Angeles home. This occurred just days after their final breakup on September 24, 2015.
A suicide note found at White's residence was addressed to Carrey, signed with the nickname "Dewdrop." In it, she expressed her deep sorrow and lack of will to continue. Carrey, visibly devastated, released a statement mourning her loss and describing her as a "delicate Irish flower."
The tragedy escalated in 2016 when White's estranged husband and mother filed lawsuits against Carrey. They accused him of supplying the prescription drugs that led to her overdose, despite knowing about her mental health struggles. Carrey denied these allegations, characterizing the lawsuits as a "heartless attempt to exploit" him. The legal proceedings were concluded and dismissed in 2018.
