Jenny Is Heated!!

On the cover of the most recent issue of Us Weekly, Jenny McCarthy declares her son Evan essentially cured of autism. Denis Leary, the same week, came under fire for jokes he makes about autism in his new book, “Why We Suck: A Feel Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid.” Leary has since said that any perceived jokes about autism were taken out of context, but McCarthy told Access Hollywood “It’s so hard to even get up enough juice in me or energy in me to even try to fight someone that is obviously stupid.”

A friend of McCarthy’s says while she’s trying to keep her emotions in check, she is livid. “Jenny has worked so hard to spread awareness about autism. She nearly lost the essence of her son to it, her marriage fell apart because of it. Now Denis says what he did — even if his remarks were taken out of context, Jenny feels like it just does a disservice to so much of her hard work.”
