Jim Carrey addresses Jeffrey Epstein death in new artwork: 'No suicide watch is murder'
Jim Carrey is calling it as he sees it. The actor and artist addressed Jeffrey Epstein's reported suicide in a new painting, and he’s labeling the 66-year-old's death a "murder."
In the image, the top part of Epstein's face is visible with, "No suicide watch is murder" written across his forehead. A partially unzipped body bag covers the rest of the financier's face.

Epstein was found dead in his cell Saturday morning at the Metropolitan Correctional Center. Authorities said he hanged himself, reportedly with his prison bedsheet. Conspiracy theories were quick to spread online, with President Donald Trump even pushing one about the Clintons. Epstein, who was allegedly taken off suicide watch at the end of July, was awaiting trial on charges he sexually abused underage girls.
Carrey has taken aim at Epstein's powerful connections before. In February, both Bill Clinton and President Trump made a cameo in a painting.
Jeffrey Epstein had an island where VIPs allegedly exploited and abused child sex slaves. He had many rich and powerful guests there. Gosh...I hope none of them are embarrassed by the association. pic.twitter.com/oDh7GB5G47

The Kidding actor also painted a photo of Trump, Epstein, and a crying young girl. He captioned the piece on Twitter with a quote from the president back in 2002.
"I’ve known Jeff [Epstein] for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with," Trump told New York Magazine at the time. "It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side."

After that quote resurfaced, Trump distanced himself from Epstein. "I had a falling out with him a long time ago. I don’t think I’ve spoken to him for 15 years," Trump said during a press conference. "I was not a fan of his."
Trump probably isn't a fan of Carrey's work, either.
