Jim Carrey — Inside His Doomed Relationship With Dead Girlfriend

Jim Carrey has had his Hollywood reputation rocked by a shocking new lawsuit blaming him for the suicide of girlfriend Cathriona White! A wrongful death lawsuit filed by Mark Burton, Cathriona ’s estranged husband, claims the legendary comic illegally scored drugs for the troubled stylist by using his “immense wealth and celebrity status.” Jim's attorneys blasted the legal action as "heartless" — but The National ENQUIRER had the inside story on the comedian's own tortured relationship with his doomed lover!

The lawsuit filed by Mark Burton says that Jim gave Cathriona the drugs that she eventually used in her suicide — despite knowing that she was "ill-equipped" to have them, and was already prone to bouts of depression. Tragically, The ENQUIRER had the inside story on how “The Cable Guy” star was dealing with his own self-destructive urges as their relationship began!

Even as Jim and the Irish beauty began dating in 2012, pals were worried that the funnyman was hellbent on his own self-destruction. “When you talk to him," an insider said in 2013, "he’s not as animated as he used to be. He seems at a low point — like a ship without a rudder.” And while Jim tried to commit to Cathriona, close pals said that he was still pining for former “Playboy” playmate Jenny McCarthy.

“Jim has done his best to beat back feelings of depression by meditating and staying away from drugs and alcohol,” said the close source. “His friends are very proud of him, but the joys of life have been eluding him, and seeing Jenny move on makes him ache for what they had."

And, in a further tragic twist, Cathriona ended her own life while Jim had briefly stopped seeing her — partly over an obsession with Playboy model Kennedy Summers (pictured), who sports a striking resemblance to Jenny!

The ENQUIRER saw intimate texts that Jim shared with Summer, who he called by her real first name of "Taylor." Said an insider: "Jim met Kennedy, and he was immediately smitten with her. He took her to his favorite place — the exclusive Bel-Air Hotel...While Kennedy was one of the hottest women he'd ever dated, he decided to renew his relationship with Cathriona."

But that decision came too late — and Cathriona would address her suicide note to Jim while bitterly blaming him for her depression: “I’ve spent three days now in disbelief that you’re not here," she wrote. "I can go on brokenhearted and try to put the pieces back. I could, I just don’t have the will this time.

"I don’t really know about burial," Cathriona added, discussing the funeral that would eventually be paid for by her famous lover. "You are my family, so whatever you choose will be fine. I’m sorry you felt I wasn’t there for you. I tried to give you my best part. Please forgive me. I’m just not for this world.”

And in another cruel twist for Jim, the lawsuit filed by Cathriona's husband even accuses Jim of lying about taking care of the burial — claiming: "Carrey and his handlers made considerable efforts to publicize his supposed generosity as it related to the death of White. They did so ... in an effort to paint Carrey as a 'grieving good guy,' as opposed to the individual who had illegally obtained and provided the drugs that killed White!"
