Jim Carrey Calls Jenny McCarthy’s Comments About Son Evan ‘Unfortunate’
Last night on the Howard Stern show, Jenny McCarthy made a few comments about her ex-husband Jim Carrey. McCarthy criticized Carrey for abandoning her son Evan who has autism.
“I’ve tried to ask [Carrey] numerous times [to see Evan], because my son still asks almost weekly (too see Carrey). As a mother, you just hope when you have a relationship with someone, it has nothing to do with the child when you break up… I tell [Evan] that someday you’ll cross paths, meet again … [but] it’s hard. He’s been in therapy. It’s a process, he’s working on it.”
Just to be clear, Evan is not Carrey’s son. Evan is the son of Jenny McCarthy and her ex John Mallory Asher. Carrey was, however, a father figure to Evan when he dated McCarthy. The two ended their five-year relationship in 2010.
Carrey defended himself today, releasing a statement saying:
“I will always do what I believe is in the best interest of Evan’s well being… It’s unfortunate that Evan’s privacy is not being considered. I love Evan very much and will miss him always.”
Do you think Jim Carrey, who has a grown daughter of his own and a grandson, has a responsibility to see Jenny McCarthy’s son more often? Was Jenn McCarthy out of line for calling him out on the Howard Stern Show?”
If Jim isn’t in the picture as often as McCarthy would like, Evan at least has a new father figure around. The former Playboy model has recently started dating Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher.

Jim Carrey is not Jenny McCarthy's ex-husband; they were never married.

No, she should not have criticized Carrey's decision on the air. But, then again, someone who would allow the depraved Stern to interview them shouldn't be expected to have good judgement. I could understand her struggle since her son is obviously in pain, but they were not married and that alone is confusing to a child.

Jenny McCarthy is nuts! Her son's father has the responsiblility of caring for Evan, her son. Jim Carrey owes her absoloutely nothing. McCarthy is showing her true bitchiness to the world. Leave Jim C. alone. He would have been far better off if he had never met you. PS. Jim was just a bf. What she is saying is that every bf in her life owes her…..and.

Here's the thing… Jim is not Evan's father. While my natural instincts as a protector and one who hates to disappoint a kid, I would probably make the effort to see him most often but you have to realize how incredibly awkward and difficult that would be. What is Jim expected to do? Go to baseball games, graduations, see his first child being born etc. When he and Evan's mother aren't even friends anymore? That would be unfair to both Evan and Jim because Jim couldn't be the person he needed to be for him considering the situation. And Jim would be unhappy doing it. This, I guess, is tough love. Make them hate me so their lives would be better off because you know they deserve better.

If jim Carrey cared anything about Evan he would make the effort.If nothing else to show him he does care. Out of sight , out of mind. And that explains JIM CARREY!

Jenn broke up with Jim. Jen cut the ties between Jim and her son. Jenn is responsible for Evan's pain!!! Period!

Jenny, you will confuse your son with too many suitors time will pass and you will have another daddy figure in his life. it is not Carrey responsibility to continue to nurture your son; however where is his real father and why is he not in your son's life? dealing with the A spectrum is difficult for you and your son and allowing too many people into his life can be confusing to him. A child needs a normal routine and a group of loved ones that can be supportive to his social and emotional development and well being. being there as a mom and having people that will remain in his life as a support group is up to you to select and manage. Be well Jenny and Jim you are doing the right thing if you are staying away because it's also painful to you as well as the boy. Jim you are making the right choice as a friend and concerned extended family supporter; you are leaving room for the next father figure that Jenny chooses for her son. No More Confusion for Evan:)

He isn't his father, so I don't understand the hostile comments. They dated, it ended, you move on. He has a father, why isn't he taking a more active role?

Are you serious? They dated for 5 years and he is not the boy's father. Why isn't the real father required to be his "Dad"? I am sorry but for Jim Carrey to visit, call,ect. the child of an ex-girlfriend would be awkward and unhealthy for everyone involved.
