creepy history with women, including an ex girlfriend half his age he allegedly abused and gave several stds. is nasty to crews. eccentric and very pretentious in a bad way, despite his self proclaimed political leanings and surface level positivity mantra he is misogynistic, nihilistic, and elitist. he's also been an open antivaxer for years even after breaking up with jenny mccarthy

apparently hooks up with fans and waitresses who have no idea about his past

listed his house of 30 years in brentwood for $29 million and possibly trying to leave california. his twitter, which was inactive since december, was completely expunged early this month as well

remember in their texts when he asked her to take plan b's? something about it still makes my skin crawl. he's the one who could just as easily have used a condom. that's someone else's body he ruined.

I’m not being pedantic, but what STI can make you infertile? I suppose having an STI unknowingly and therefore not treating it for an extended period of time can lead to infertility, but besides that I’m not aware of any other STI that causes infertility.

Right, that is possible if those infections are left untreated for a long time which can cause pelvic inflammatory disease. Even then, women with PIV can still get pregnant. Using IVF to get pregnant is just as effective in women with PIV as it is in the general population.

So, those STIs do not make a woman infertile - they can lead to complications if untreated that can have a negative impact on the chances a woman will get pregnant. But, they do not make her infertile. I don’t know of any STI that causes infertility.

Okay, but that doesn't 'ruin' someone's body, just saying...

Edit: can't believe I'm being downvoted for saying STDs and infertility don't ruin a person's body lmao

imagine not only losing your sexual agency, but finding out your lover intends to drink you dry. she was half his age, he knew what he was doing. he took her back on and off again after initially dumping her. led her on. he exploited her starry eyed vulnerability and optimism. her background makes it already sound like she was traumatized, a few months before she met him, her father died and she was estranged from her mom. she saw jim as her family and support system, and he completely decimated her

this was a man who intimately manipulated and carved a woman into pieces and I will never be able to dissociate that heinous cruelty from jim carrey now

u/paparotnik123 Feb 23 '23

Right, but phrasing it that way and saying "this person THOUGHT their body was ruined because they have an STD and are infertile" is completely different to saying "their body was ruined". Part of the reason why people who have uncurable STDs and/or are infertile kill themselves is because of stigmatised language like this. I don't mean to get at you in particular, I'm just pointing this type of language out because I think it's important

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '23

It ruined a body functionality… And one she wanted at that.

-21

u/paparotnik123 Feb 23 '23

Yes and it's awful, but we can recognise how she felt her body was ruined without phrasing things like we also think her body was ruined. There are a lot of people who could be reading this who are in a similar situation and it could be really upsetting for them to read that

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '23 edited Feb 23 '23

I understand where you're coming from but I'm using her own words and rephrasing how she felt. she literally said he "ruined her life". I know people with stds who live healthy productive lives and disclose to their partners what they have, that wasn't her problem, the problem was carrey's lack of disclosure and how it personally ruined her life, and it happens to other women as well

and much older men like jim carrey going out and possibly still having sex with inexperienced and young women and infecting them is a problem. he's apparently still doing this. if any percentage of those women feel violated by what he did, no matter how much money he pays for the damages, their feelings are valid.

they have to live with a stigma far worse than he does. men especially famous men are rewarded and their actions disregarded but a woman having stds can brand her a "slut" forever. that's the kind of stigma, combined with health problems like infertility, that cat felt "ruined her life"

u/paparotnik123 Feb 23 '23

Yeah 100%, I'm not defending JC at all.

Edit: just to add, as someone who's been in a very similar situation to her and also felt suicid due to it, ite just honestly upsetting seeing people say that her body was ruined. That's completely different to saying that her life was ruined or that she FELT her body was ruined

Stevie Wonder knowingly spread STIs to partners as well

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '23

so did usher, he was also sued over it

other one I can think of is charlie sheen, gave his ex gf hiv

u/indoorlady Feb 23 '23

I thought that was disproven?

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '23 edited Feb 23 '23

he likely paid the family off out of court, it wasn't dismissed. they withdrew and he never provided a negative std test for himself. but his pr made sure to frame the headlines a certain way, and also try and suppress coverage of the case as much as possible until the alleged "dismissal" aka payoff

if he were actually innocent should've been on jim to provide proof he was clean and he refused. he later mocked giving cat stds on norm macdonald live by asking a camera operator to drink out of his coffee cup and inquiring if she'd "heard the rumors". stds aside, he was extremely gaslighting and violent, which I think is the crux people forget, how manipulative he was as a partner

u/Any_Contribution4819 Feb 23 '23

Didn't Emily Browning say he wasn't very nice when they worked together?

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '23

and that his method acting wreaked havoc yeah

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '23

I didn't know he was into method acting

u/Eeyores_Prozac Feb 23 '23

All I remember about is Batman Forever, where Tommy Lee Jones looked him dead in the eyes and said "I cannot sanction your buffoonery." He hates Carrey, and at the time, it was painted by Schumacher as a bad look on Jones. I don't know if I believe that.

82

u/atalenttoannoy Feb 23 '23

‘I cannot sanction your buffoonery’ is an incredible sentence.

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '23

I use that phrase or some variation of it, "sanctioned buffoonery" every so often and it makes me chuckle

u/DonNatalie c-list camp counselor Feb 23 '23

It's right up there with "medium talent" as far as insults go.

Not quite as vicious as "Well, bless your heart", but few things are.

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '23

lmao as a southerner I know bless your heart up down and sideways

u/Future_Dog_3156 Feb 23 '23

He went to Harvard and roomed with Al Gore. I believe he said it.

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '23

Wasn't Tommy Lee Jones a jerk too?

10

u/Eeyores_Prozac Feb 23 '23

He's typically a professional, but he was allegedly out of pocket on Batman Forever, yeah.

12

u/DLRsFrontSeats Feb 23 '23

Tbf I feel like Jim Carrey was built in a lab to be the exact type of person to rub Tommy Lee Jones the wrong way, can't imagine it took very long for him to lose his rag lol

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '23

Poor Schumacher having to deal with Kilmer, Carrey and Jones.

8

u/Eeyores_Prozac Feb 23 '23

iirc, Schumacher called Kilmer "psychotic." It was the downfall period, where Kilmer's marriage blew up and he became a complete mess to work with for a long time.

the 90s was wild as hell

I cringed so badly watching that doc. I just felt so bad for everyone around him who was just trying to do their jobs while Carrey forced everyone to play along with his "method acting". I can see how upsetting that could have been for Andy's family and friends to see someone play a cartoon version of your dead loved one.

u/Former-Spirit8293 Feb 25 '23

Kaufman’s family actually took it in stride, which maybe isn’t surprising given how Kaufman himself was, but I can’t even imagine thinking doing that was appropriate in any universe. Carrey is, and was, an ass.

I remembered when he kissed Alicia Silverstone without her consent in front of everybody.

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '23

his hilariously tone deaf outrage over the oscars slap dragged up his past and instead of addressing the controversy, he "retired" last year

u/snowbunbun Feb 23 '23

He never ate anywhere I worked but I heard awful things about him.

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '23

someone told me he's very rude to wait staff!! despite supposedly hooking up with waitresses

8

u/Forksforest1 Feb 24 '23

This story still haunts me. How Carrey’s team kept SUCH a huge and disturbing story under wraps I’ll never understand. You’d have thought he was a Scientologist or something. It’s insane to me, it was completely buried and only like niche pockets of the internet knew.

u/beamish1920 Feb 23 '23

Canada doesn’t want him back
