Jenny McCarthy: Celebrity beef explained
The celebrities Jenny McCarthy has had beef with include:
Amanda Bynes
Amanda Bynes is a controversial actress known for her roles in Hairspray, She’s the Man, Easy A, and What a Girl Wants.
Prior to the start of her conservatorship, she got into a Twitter feud with McCarthy.
The May 2013 feud started when McCarthy tweeted about police officers showing up at Bynes’ home.
“Police are at @AmandaBynes house. I hope they get her help. Enough of this circus. She needs help,” she wrote in the since-deleted post, according to E! News.
At the time, she was referencing tweets from a publicist named Jonathan Jaxson, but sources told E! News that there was no truth to them.
“@JennyMcCarthy I need help? What are u talking about? Aren’t u 50 years old? I’m 27, u look 80 compared to me! Why are you talking about me?” Bynes later responded, adding “@JennyMcCarthy you’re ugly! Police weren’t at my house old lady! Shut the f*** up!”
McCarthy later apologized saying: “@AmandaBynes Sorry girl. Looking out for ya.”
Tara Reid
Tara Reid is an actress known for her roles in American Pie, The Big Lebowski, and Sharknado.
In July 2016, she was a guest on The Jenny McCarthy Show and expected to talk about the film Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens, but she walked out after the host began asking about other things, like plastic surgery and her appearance on Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars, according to PEOPLE.
“It was really nice talking to you and really good luck with your show,” Reid said at the time.
“Good luck to you, too, and I’m so excited about Sharknado and I hope you stay married,” McCarthy replied.
“I hope your knees get a little wobblier than they already are.”
“I hope you stay married too. I’m sure he’s a nice guy,” Reid responded.
“I hope your tits get even nicer, because they’re amazing. The same guy who did mine, right? I’ll always use your advice. You’re the best. Bye.”
Reid’s rep later released a statement, saying: “Tara is a positive person who is against women tearing each other down.
“She was bullied on Jenny’s and felt ambushed when she came into the show with a positive spirit and in a happy mood.

“It was very unfortunate how Jenny shifted the conversation for her personal gain when the whole focus should be on Sharknado 4.”
Lala Kent
Lala Kent is an actress known for her roles in Spree, Vault, 10 Minutes Gone, Vanderpump Rules, and One Shot.
In March 2016, she traveled to Italy on a modeling trip, but to McCarthy, she was doing more than just taking pictures.
During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, she called Kent a “full-blown hooker,” which didn’t sit well with the rising star.
“My reaction was she is a full-blown hooker,” McCarthy said, via Bravo TV.
“I’m sorry, but the girls that go on trips with these men that have tons of money and these young girls; it’s just like those websites, you know, those sugar daddy websites.
“That, to me, is a form of prostitution,” she added.
“And she says she didn’t spread her legs. Everybody else did except for her. Sure, Lala. Sure.”
Kent then fired back in a tweet, writing: “Shoutout to @JennyMcCarthy 4 shoutin me out on #WWHL. & shoutout to Hugh Heff for putting that b**** on the map. But, Jenny snapchat me that,” in reference to McCarthy’s time as a Playboy model.
Despite the harsh words, the pair later put the beef behind them after she appeared on The Jenny McCarthy Show two years later.
Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey is a singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress known for her impressive five-octave vocal range.
In December 2016, she co-hosted Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest, a performance McCarthy later called a “complete train wreck.”
“It was just, it was so bad, and then for a moment I said, ‘Take a step back, Jenny, and try to find some empathy right now.’ And I did. All of a sudden I felt really bad for her, because it was that bad. It was a complete train wreck,” she said at the time, via Us Weekly.
“Now, I do understand our egos, of course, want to blame everyone but itself for mistakes, but I literally had a visceral reaction to her saying that Dick Clark Productions did this on purpose and for ratings. I mean, let me tell you something. If Dick Clark were alive today, I guarantee he would be on air right now fighting back. He’s not, so I’m going to,” McCarthy added.
Carey’s team claimed that there were sound problems and while she didn’t address McCarthy’s criticism directly, she did tweet about the performance, saying: “S*** happens 😩 Have a happy and healthy new year everybody! 🎉 Here’s to making more headlines in 2017 😂.”
