Jim met the Irish makeup artist in 2012. The rough relationship lasted for three years, although they broke it off on several occasions.
Cathriona cut ties with the actor for good on September 28, 2015. She committed suicide the same night, only leaving a note addressing the actor behind. As it revealed, the Jim had a bad influence on her.
"You introduced me to cocaine, prostitutes, mental abuse and disease," she wrote in the letter cited by Global News.
"I was promised Jekyll but I got Hyde," Cathriona concluded.
Soon after, her ex-husband, Mark Burton, came forward to accuse Jim of giving her the medication that ended up causing her death, Elite Daily notes.
"I will not tolerate this heartless attempt to exploit me or the woman I loved [...] I really hope that some day soon people will stop trying to profit from this," Jim stated.

Jim was engaged to Renée Zellweger for three years.
