Jim Carrey 'refuses to clear name by releasing STD test'

Jim Carrey has reportedly refused to release results from a 2013 STD test to prove that he didn’t infect his late girlfriend, Cathriona White.

The actor is being sued for wrongful death by Cathriona’s grieving family, who have accused him of giving her three infections, which they believe contributed to her suicide last September.

Her mother, Brigid Sweetman had promised to drop the case if Jim could prove he was clear of infection, but says Jim has declined her offer.

"One week ago, I offered to drop my case against Jim Carrey if he released his STD test from 2013 and it showed he was clean as he has told the world," she said today in a statement.

"He has refused to release the test, which shows he is a complete liar and cannot be trusted to be honest with the public and the media in this case."

She added: "The public has a right to know when they have been lied to and I again demand that Carrey release the test so people can see for themselves what the truth is."

Jim's attorney, Martin Singer, released a statement on behalf of the actor in response to Cathriona's family dropping the lawsuit, but did not mention his STD results.

"It is understandable that a mother who has lost a daughter will look for someone to blame," he said to the Daily News.

"But in directing her grief and rage at Jim Carrey and joining this ridiculous lawyer's attempt to capitalize on Cathriona's suicide, Mrs. Sweetman is heading down the same dark path as Cathriona's green-card 'husband,' Mark Burton."

Brigid has previously spoken at length about the role she believes Jim played in their daughter’s death, accusing him of supplying her with the drugs that killed her.

“As a family, we want the world to know the truth about who Jim Carrey really is — a man that will give your daughter three STDs, lie about it, call her terrible names and demean her, use his high-priced lawyers to try and shut her and her family up, and then give her illegal drugs,” she said in a statement.

Brigid then went on to call Jim “heartless,” “outlandish,” “exploitative,” “despicable,” “abhorrent,” “outrageous,” “opportunistic” and “pure evil,” in the document, and claims that her daughter was distraught because Jim, 54, gave her oral and genital herpes, as well as chlamydia, which can leave women sterile.

Jim served as a pallbearer at her funeral and vehemently denies any wrongdoing.
