Actor Jim Carrey has been accused of illegally obtaining the drugs that his former girlfriend Cathriona White used to kill herself.
The 30-year-old Irish actress died from an overdose of prescription medication at her home in Los Angeles almost a year ago.
Her estranged husband, Mark Burton, has now filed a wrongful death lawsuit against The Truman Show star.
It alleges Carrey obtained prescription medications under the "bogus name" of "Arthur King" and, following her suicide, tried to conceal his involvement.
In a statement, Carrey said the filing of the lawsuit was a "terrible shame".
The Canadian-born actor added: "It would be easy for me to get in a back room with this man's lawyer and make this go away, but there are some moments in life when you have to stand up and defend your honour against the evil in this world.
