Why is Jenny McCarthy still on TV? She’s a 90’s icon. She’s a Playmate. She’s a psycho. But she’s not current and has no business being on my TV even if it is only a VH1 show! Let me go back, McCarthy has talk show on VH1 and an upcoming show on NBC. Don’t ask me why. She seems to be stuck in the 90’s where she was relevant.
Her talk show features pole dancers, her one the floor eating a sucker, and dick jokes. It’s The Man Show with Jenny McCarthy. I think she thinks that makes her cool. “Hey I’m a chick that likes strippers and penis!” Yeah, we know. You posed naked, you sleep around, you constantly talk about how you bought your boobs and they pay your bills—we get it, the problem is she doesn’t.
It’s not cool to like strippers and it’s not cool to play to those stereotypes. I’m a pretty girl that farts, love me! It’s an old sad act and at forty years-old she should be over this. I’m not shaming Jenny McCarthy I have a genuine problem with her. I’m sure most people will say I hate her because she’s blonde and has fake boobs—but that’s not true. I hate her because she’s dangerous. That’s right I said it!
Jenny McCarthy has a platform and she shouldn’t. She was famous in the 90’s and for some reason she thinks that means she can dole out medical advice. McCarthy has a son named Evan. Evan has autism. That’s very sad, it’s very complicated. I feel for McCarthy that she has a special needs child. However, she makes it very hard for me to support her when she says writes blogs titled, “My son’s recovery from autism”. You didn’t save him from autism. You can’t cure autism. You don’t recover from it. To her credit, in the blog she says that people are confusing “recover” with “cure” but that’s not true. Recover means 1. To get back; regain. 2. To restore (oneself) to a normal state. That is the very definition. You can’t go changing the meaning of words McCarthy!
How did she “recover” her son? She says, “We believe what helped Evan recover was starting a gluten-free, casein-free diet, vitamin supplementation, detox of metals, and anti-fungals for yeast overgrowth that plagued his intestines.” OH! It’s all diet? Autism can be “recovered from” by a healthy diet? Thank goodness you exists Jenny McCarthy because decades of scientific studies didn’t deduce anything so meaningful!
Aside from spouting nutritional facts (BTW McCarthy is not a nutritionist and has no business giving advice regarding health and food), she also is very vocal against vaccines. McCarthy claims that it was the MMR vaccine that caused her son’s autism. Not the fact that she had her baby at 30 and autism is linked to older birth mothers. No, no it was the vaccines. For a while I bought it too. Vaccines are given in groups. I always thought they gave too many shots to babies at one time. There was even a study done by Dr. Andrew Wakefield that linked some vaccines to autism. But in 2011 Wakefield redacted his study and admitted he lied about the data. Does that stop McCarthy? Nope.
I understand that as a mother you never want to think you did anything to harm your child. You never want to think your child is different. But get your head out of your ass. This is science. It’s true whether you believe it or not. Diet, and vaccines have little to no impact on your child’s autism. But please, give her yet another TV show so she can go on the media press tour and continue spouting off this nonsense and endangering lives. McCarthy has blood on her hands and the next time she’s invited on a morning show maybe someone should ask her about it instead of laughing at her dick jokes.
