Jenny McCarthy Biography

Jennifer McCarthy Wahlberg, originally known as Jennifer Ann McCarthy, was born on November 1, 1972, and is an American actress, model, and TV personality. She first gained recognition in 1993 as a nude model for Playboy magazine, eventually being named their Playmate of the Year. After that, McCarthy pursued a career in television and film acting, starting as a co-host on the MTV game show Singled Out (1995–1997). She then went on to star in her own sitcom, Jenny (1997–1998), as well as in films such as BASEketball (1998), Scream 3 (2000), Dirty Love (2005), John Tucker Must Die (2006), and Santa Baby (2006).

Currently, she serves as a judge on the Fox musical competition show, The Masked Singer, since 2019.

Apart from her entertainment career, McCarthy has authored several books on parenting and has advocated for research into environmental causes and alternative medical treatments for autism. However, McCarthy has also promoted the debunked theory that vaccines cause autism, and has claimed that chelation therapy, an unproven treatment, cured her son of autism. Her advocacy of these views has been criticized by some as being dangerous, reckless, and uninformed. Journalists have referred to McCarthy as the nation's most prominent purveyor of anti-vaxxer ideology and the face of the anti-vax movement. Despite these labels, McCarthy disputes the anti-vaccine label, preferring to be called pro-safe-vaccine-schedule, a term that has been met with criticism.
