The “Masked Singer” judge had to go under the knife several times after infections caused by a failed dental implant. Growths on her eyeballs were also bad
When the year ends, Jenny McCarthy will probably just put a line under it and be happy that a new one is beginning. The actress (“Scary Movie 3,” “Two And A Half Men”) has experienced a real health crisis.
Like McCarthy “People” She said that she is currently on the mend after several infections due to a failed dental implant, but before that she had to go through a severe path of suffering.
“I’ve had nine operations on my mouth this year,” the 53-year-old told the magazine. “I had an infection, which led to another and another, and then these growths appeared on my eyeballs.”
Teeth and implants fell out
While it’s unknown when the “Masked Singer” judge had to go under the knife, she says the symptoms only got worse as she tried to cure the symptoms. “My teeth fell out, implants fell out,” she explained. “Eventually they had to cut open my jawbone and discovered I had a deep bone infection. I’ve been on antibiotics for a year and can only eat soft foods. Every time we thought it was over, it came back again. I was in massive pain and my jaw was swelling.”
Jenny McCarthy had already made it public at the beginning of the year that she became ill when she tried to eat a vegan diet. “I tried a vegan diet and almost died,” she said on Maria Menounos’ “Heal Squad” podcast in March. “I was exhausted and tired. I was a wreck.” The consequence of the plant-based diet was celiac disease (an autoimmune disease that prevents the ability to digest gluten, editor’s note) and general malaise.
Editorial recommendations
“Some people function and recover better on a vegan diet, while others do not,” McCarthy explained in the interview. “It depends on what you believe in and you have to follow your intuition and also listen to what the blood or the body says. The body gives you the answer.”
While the model is now recovering from the months-long shock and can chew again, her appointment calendar has been busy recently. The series “Boston Blue” was filming in Canada and new episodes of “Masked Singer” were also being produced.
