Jim Carrey gave his late ex-girlfriend Cathriona White sexually transmitted diseases and then lied about it before breaking up with, her triggering her suicide, her estranged husband has claimed.
Mark Burton, who accuses Carrey of providing the prescription drugs his wife used to overdose in September 2015, filed a revised complaint in a wrongful death lawsuit against the actor on Thursday, TMZ reported.
The amended lawsuit alleges White, 30, learned in 2013 that Carrey had given her Herpes Type 1, Herpes Type 2 (genital herpes) and gonorrhea, and that he pressured her to keep quiet.
In an exchange of text messages in February 2013, White wrote to Carrey when she initially suspected she had contracted an STD, the amended suit states.
The new complaint also states Carrey, 54, had sex with White without informing her he had the STDs or that she was at risk.
He attempted to downplay her symptoms and when she was tested and told by doctors she had STDs, he suggested she had contracted them from someone else, according to court documents.
Genital herpes is a chronic condition and remains in the body for ever, as it can become active at any time.
The virus recurs up to five times within the first two years years of being infected in most people. However, outbreaks reduce over time.
When she confronted him about it, the actor 'manipulated' and 'threatened' her, using his 'handlers and attorneys to silence her,' the lawsuit states.
Burton, 49, also claims that prior White's suicide in 2015, she penned a letter to Carrey, writing the STDS would make it difficult for her to find anyone after their breakup.
In the letter, she allegedly referred to herself as 'damaged goods'.
