Jim Carrey as asked the judge in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by his ex-girlfriend Cathriona White's mother, to strike all mentions of him suffering from multiple STDs and passing them to White during their relationship, saying the claims are “irrelevant” to the case.

Carrey, 54, references White's two suicide notes as evidence he was a positive element in her life and that his ex-girlfriend never mentioned her own mother, Brigid Sweetman, in the letters: "From the two suicide notes, it is indisputable that White looked to Carrey as the person she loved and trusted most," the legal documents read. He calls Sweetman's lawsuit a "shakedown" and a shameful attempt by White's mother to profit from her daughter's death.

Sweetman's lawsuit claims "Jim Carrey has admitted he gave Ms. White multiple sexually transmitted diseases and purposely lied to her" and says he obtained the drugs that killed White under a pseudonym despite knowing White was prone to depression.

Carey claims Sweetman has admitted to other parties, that harsh voice messages she left for her daughter days before her death may have caused White to take her own life. He calls Sweetman's allegations against him "nonsense."
