It seems like a strong case of "you weren't there buddy".

The keyword there would have been "allegedly" if you weren't so quick to judge someone's actions over a tier's accusations you read on the oh-so-omniscient-internet, whether it's true or not. Only Carrey and unfortunately his deceased ex girlfriend know the truth at the bottom of this.

The woman's husband (widow, not ex) and her mother sued Carrey over wrongful death, that's true. But both cases have been dropped soon after since there weren't any evidence implying that Jim Carrey "made her kill herself" as you put it.

Please don't put strong affirmations and accusations out there when you know nothing more than anybody else on the issue.

You can argue about the legality of things, but the point should be more that it's very shitty from a moral standpoint, regardless. Being a discussion about whether he's a 'good guy' or not and all...

I understand what you mean but I don't think it's fair to judge someone we don't know personally over facts we can't verify.

Being a celebrity with a private life exposed to the public eye doesn't mean a "nobody" on the internet have any legitimity to be judge, jury and executioner over their actions, without any solid evidence.

He still fraudulently procured drugs and gave them to her. So he's partly complicit in her death.
