Jim Carrey has filed court documents in response to the wrongful death lawsuit from the mother of the actor's late girlfriend Cathriona White. Carrey called the suit a "shakedown ... based on categorical lies," according to the papers.

White's mother, Cathriona White, claimed Carrey gave her daughter drugs and infected her with sexually-transmitted diseases and that he was also verbally abusive. White's estranged husband also filed a wrongful death suit against Carrey.

White died in Sept. 2015 of a drug overdose at the age of 30. She dated Carrey off and on for years until her death. Apparently, though, Carrey had no relationship with White's mother Sweetman but that didn't stop the makeup artist's mom from asking Carrey to buy a house for her in 2015. Carrey claims when he denied the request, Sweetman because "angry and bitter." He calls her legal efforts a "shameless money grab."

The papers read: "White’s suicide, although tragic and devastating to Carrey, was her choice. The evidence is irrefutable that White sought out and stole Carrey’s prescription medication from his home and intentionally ingested large quantities for the sole purpose of ending her life.”

Carrey denies ever giving White any sexually transmitted diseases and calls Sweetman’s allegations “solely in an attempt to gain leverage."

Meanwhile, Michael Avenatti, the lawyer for both Sweetman and Burton, said in a statement: "We are highly confident that the court will see this for what it is, which is a distraction tactic dreamed up by Carrey and his lawyers. The request has no merit."
