EXCLUSIVE Jim Carrey's ex's note years before her / ex-girlfriend



In a newly-discovered note that she wrote two years before taking her own life, Jim Carrey's ex-girlfriend blamed the actor for exposing her to a debauched life of sex and drugs and scorned him for 'giving her' herpes.

The note was written by Catriona White on April 8, 2013, on her iPad. It is not known if she ever sent it to Carrey before she took her own life on September 28, 2015. She died just short of two weeks after 30th birthday.



At the time, she and Carrey had broken up after she told him about testing positive for herpes. He maintains that he never had the disease and that she contracted it before they met.

The note was discovered by lawyers working on behalf of her family in a wrongful death lawsuit against Carrey, 55. They say he gave her the pills to kill herself after obtaining them in a false name and allege that he gave her STDs without warning her.

On Friday, just as White's 2013 note was obtained by DailyMail.com, Carrey dropped the bombshell that he had already paid her an undisclosed sum of money in 2013 to settle her STD claims and that her mother and ex-husband's current attempt to get more from him amounts to extortion.

He did not reveal how much money he paid her but said is now demanding that he be given back three times as much.





The star dismissed their accusation that he caused her death and said instead that she decided to take her own life because she felt guilty about extorting him two years earlier and that she was upset about a message her mother had sent her two weeks before she died.

Carrey said it was a 'mistake' to settle the claims in 2013 with White and her former lawyer Filippo Marchino and vowed: 'I will not give in a second time.'



White's 2013 note describes in her own words the couple's tumultuous relationship and gives a damning description of how she felt the actor treated her.

In it, she told how she 'was promised Jekyll but got Hyde'.





'You did good things for me but being with you broke me down as a person Jim. I was promise Jekyll and instead I got Hyde.

'Because I love you I would have stuck out Hyde all year and done everything he wanted to be with Jekyll for 5 of those but you threw me away when you absorbed anything worthwhile that was left of me,' she wrote.





White, who was 30 when she died, blamed Carrey for giving her HPV and HSV - the medical abbreviation for Herpes Simplex - and begged him to take more care with other girls.

'You have not thought about the stigma I have to live with for the rest of my life, you have not apologized or once asked is there something you can do to make it better or even felt bad for it.



'You gave me HSV and HPV, I want you to apologize for it because you care enough to. I want you to understand that however little a thing seems to you, it ruins a girl's life.

'I want you to take care when you are with other girls and pay attention to your body your actions effect people.'

The Irish make-up artist also said: 'Before you, I might not have had very much but I had respect, I was a happy person.

'I loved life, I was confident and I felt good in my skin and was proud of most decisions I made, I met you, you introduced me to cocaine, prostitutes, mental abuse and disease.



'You did good things for me but being with you broke me down as a person Jim.'

Carrey, who carried White's casket at her 2015 funeral before the suit was filed, claims her STD accusations are false and that she was trying to get back at him for breaking up with her at the time. 

In his counter lawsuit on Friday, his lawyers described a 'cottage industry' which he said fed on extorting celebrities and 'people in Hollywood who have achieved notoriety'.

He categorized Mark Burton, White's ex-husband who filed the wrongful death suit on her behalf along with her mother Bridget Sweetman, as a subscriber to the industry.



'Fighting the accusations is painful, time consuming, and extremely expensive—irrespective of the validity or outcome of the claims,' he said.

He described White as a 'beautiful but immature and emotionally damaged woman' at the start of their relationship and alleges that her former attorney took advantage of her 'warm and exciting' romance with the star to profit.

They allege that before her death, she threatened to 'go to the press' with her claim that he had given her Herpes unless he gave her 'millions of dollars'.

He settled her claim and paid her an undisclosed amount to stop her from making the issue public but insists it was not him who gave her the disease.

In 2015, the pair got back together despite their earlier legal feud.

Carrey's lawsuit claims he thought they would be together permanently after their reconciliation and that her suicide cut that short.

'Then, on the verge of a lasting relationship and love affair, came the unthinkable loss that was Cat’s suicide,' it said.
