Jenny McCarthy explains why she left Jim Carrey

Hey, who remembers the 90s? Rubber-faced Jim Carrey was the biggest star in the world and Jenny McCarthy had something vaguely resembling a career. Then they became a couple! Well, five months after their split in April, Jenny’s gone on Oprah to explain why she ended their five-year relationship.

"The first thing is, when it's not fun anymore, you need to start investigating and do an inquiry into the relationship,” she explained. “My identification wasn't caught up [in] being a celebrity's ... girlfriend.”

She continues: "I checked into myself. How does my ego feel? ... My ego's fine. I'm a warrior mom. I always got back on my feet, and I know especially this year who I am.”

Sometimes not living in Los Angeles, where people use phrases like “my ego’s fine”, feels like a blessing in itself. Good luck out there Jen. We hope your identity finds something super-rad to get caught up in. Or something.

    Isn.t she a 'warrior mom' cos she has an autistic son and she's had to fight to get help for him???

    To me that sounds like she didnt want to be in his shadow anymore and she wanted her own identity rather being known as someones girlfriend, but when you're a nobody yuorself or an average joe dating a celeb then thats wat you are going to be branded! i think she just wanted the money...

    Soooooo, is she basically saying she doesn't like him being a bigger celebrity than her? Why is she trying to come across a victim by saying she's a "warrior mom." Did he treat her badly or is she just up her own arse?
