She was pretending to be another type of person while she was dating Jim Carrey. Jenny McCarthy, who has already spoken out about what went wrong with her relationship with the comedian, is speaking out again. She’s shilling some book I don’t care about. And to promote that book, she has to drip-feed the media statements like this. For that, I thank her. I usually ignore her quotes but this one is refreshing and quite revealing. And if a lot of women (me) are honest they’ve done the same thing. ‘I got the book deal the same time Jim and I split after five years together,’ McCarthy says. ‘While researching and writing it, I looked inside of myself and began to see what was wrong with me instead of blaming him for everything.’ Then comes the admission, ‘I was a girl who pretended. I would say I liked things when I didn’t.’ McCarthy says she’s learned from this and now speaks her mind. About her new boyfriend Jason Toohey, she says ‘I have been so open and truthful in this relationship… it is amazing’. For example, ‘If he wants Chinese [food] and I don’t, I say it… our relationship is stronger because of the honesty.’ She won’t feel pressure to eat delicious Chinese food just because that’s what her boyfriend wants, ever again. Score.
