‘Paranoid’ Jenny McCarthy lives in tent after mold poisoning diagnosis
Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg says she’s living in a tent while she detoxes from mold poisoning.
“Because I’m now paranoid about sleeping anywhere, I’m living in a tent,” McCarthy said during an Oct. 29 episode of his podcast. “I’m not even kidding.”
McCarthy then showed a video of what appeared to be a beige camping tent in her backyard, draped in a waterproof cover that she uses to protect against “chemtrails” and sprinklers. The tent appears to be at a California residence, as she mentioned she wasn’t “worried about the rain in California.”
The “Masked Singer” judge said she’s on month seven of mold rehab and is “too paranoid” to live anywhere other than her tent.
“That’s where this journey has taken me,” McCarthy said. “After all these surgeries, after being diagnosed with mycotoxin poisoning, I sometimes feel a little crazy and like the walls are crumbling and paranoid.”
“It’s really, really hard, and they’re talking about people with mold poisoning and PTSD, I’m still in the traumatic part of it,” she added.
Page Six reached out to McCarthy’s representatives, but did not receive a response.
During the episode, McCarthy, who is married to Donnie Wahlberg, detailed her diagnosis, which she received from a doctor in December 2025.
She shared that her first symptom was a terrible, recurring infected root canal that caused the left side of her face to explode.
McCarthy also battled constant chalazions on her eyes, undergoing months of painful eye surgeries, as well as severe rashes and food allergies.
“I couldn’t eat anything and started suffering from SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth),” she claimed. “That means every time you eat, your stomach explodes.”
Since her diagnosis, McCarthy has received numerous vitamins and supplements. She also decontaminated her entire house of mold, which was done by a specialist for tens of thousands of dollars.
“Then you have to bring in contractors and rebuild your house…and then you hear, you have to get rid of all your furniture, you have to get rid of all your clothes,” the former “Playboy” model explained.
Her podcast episode comes just weeks after she and Wahlberg listed their Illinois home for $2.8 million in September.
The two have owned the four-bedroom home for more than a decade.
