Jenny McCarthy Was In A 'Very Dark' Relationship For Four Years, 'Could Have Easily Killed Me...'

Jenny McCarthy claimed that she was slowly manipulated into a very abusive relationship that lasted for four years.

Jenny McCarthy has found herself in the limelight after she opened up about how she almost joined Dancing with the Stars. During an episode of The Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg Show, she told her guest Selma Blair that one of the pro dancers from the reality show never truly believed in her. According to her, Derek Hough told her that there was no hope for her.

Amid her revelation, the focus has shifted towards Jenny McCarthy’s personal life. While she is currently married to Donnie Wahlberg, the actress once confessed to being in a really dark and abusive relationship.

Jenny McCarthy was stuck in an abusive relationship for four years

In an interview with E! News, Jenny McCarthy got candid about her past relationship with an ex-boyfriend whom she did not name. According to her, she initially thought that it was going to be a typical relationship; however, things soon took a turn for the worse. She said that the relationship turned into one that nobody would ever think of getting themselves into. She said:

“I mean, I really consider myself to be pretty strong-willed and confident, even back then. But I did find myself being slowly manipulated into a very, very dark, abusive—verbally abusive—relationship that could have easily killed me."

Jenny confessed that throughout her abusive relationship, her mind was “turned completely inside out.” She said that she no longer had her own thoughts. In her words:

“They were replaced with his thoughts about me. That I was worthless, disgusting, talentless, ugly, fat, and smelled so badly. I was no longer worthy of being kissed.”

This excruciating verbal abuse went on for four years until Jenny McCarthy finally gained the confidence to get out of that relationship. The actress shared that the path to loving yourself requires you to stop putting the blame on others and observe the choices that you have made that led you to that point.

Once she understood this and realized that it was her job to love herself rather than him, Jenny quickly left her ex-boyfriend and got out of the “hell” she was living in. She said that she chose to be powerful and not powerless.

After opening up about her abusive relationship, Jenny went on to give a shout-out to her husband, Donnie Wahlberg, whom she called the love of her life. She said, “I love you, baby.” For those unaware, Jenny McCarthy and Wahlberg began dating back in 2013. They tied the knot a year later in August 2014.

While Jenny chose not to reveal the name of the man who was abusive towards her before she married Wahlberg, the actress did date several well-known names. She initially dated her manager, Ray Manzella, for four years in the ‘90s. Jenny then dated and married actor John Mallory Asher. The duo was together for seven years and welcomed a son named Evan during their marriage.

Jenny even dated Jim Carrey for five years. They stayed together for five years, until 2010. The actress then dated former NFL player Brian Urlacher for a few months in 2012. She admitted that she met her husband, Donnie Wahlberg, at a time when she made up her mind to not settle for anyone until she got 'The One.' She shared:

"And I literally said that out loud. I said, 'God, I'm not helping. I don't want to be a teacher to any more guys. I want to just love. I want someone that reflects the love that I have inside of me.' That's it. A reflection of where I'm at, because I felt like I was at a really great place, and within probably a month, I met Donnie."
