Star talks to Wendy Williams, says she’s always been very independent

Jenny McCarthy stopped by Wendy Williams' the other day to talk about her upcoming Playboy photospread and new reality show, on which she's just a host. Because Wendy is very direct with her guests, Jenny also had to take questions about her former boyfriend, Jim Carrey.

Even though they split almost 3 years ago, people are still talking about it because Jenny recently told the press that, when they broke up, Carrey basically abandoned her son Evan, who was diagnosed with autism.

The comedian responded to the claims by saying she should consider Evan's privacy before saying such things but, as it turns out, this might have only poured gasoline on the fire.

Be that as it may, Jenny wants the world to know that, contrary to the rumors making the rounds online, she didn't get a payout from Jim when they broke up.

Some say that he gave her $50 million (€39.8 million) as a sign of good faith and of consideration for all the years they'd spent together.

It isn't true, Jenny tells Wendy, as the video below will confirm.

“That’s not true. I’m barely living in a van down by the river,” the former glamor girl, cracking a joke, SNL style.

“I did not get 50 million dollars. I didn’t get 25 million dollars [€19.9 million]. I went into it going 'I’m going in with what is mine and his is his' and I’ve always been a really strong independent woman and get back on my feet after being kicked… you know,” Jenny further explains.

This was no exception, no matter what people are saying.

“I’ve done it all on my own. I did not want to participate,” she adds.

In the same interview, Jenny says that he has no plans about having another child because she wants to focus on Evan only, and gushes about her new boyfriend, Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher, of whom she says is different from her previous loves in that he “doesn't want to borrow [her] makeup.”
