Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg says that she is living in a tent while she detoxes from mold poisoning. “Because I am paranoid now about basically sleeping anywhere, I live in a tent,” McCarthy said during an Oct. 29 episode of her podcast. “I’m not even joking.” McCarthy then showed off a video of what appeared to be a tan camping tent in her backyard, draped in a rainproof cover that she uses to protect against “chemtrails” and sprinklers. The tent appears to be in a California residence, as she mentioned that she was not “worried about the rain in California.” Jenny McCarthy revealed during an Oct. 29 podcast that she is living in a tent.
