LOS ANGELES, Nov 19 — Jenny McCarthy certainly won’t be lending any support to Charlie Sheen following his HIV reveal and is slamming him for not disclosing his diagnosis to his TV co-stars, including herself.
In an interview with the SiriusXM Dirty, Sexy, Funny radio show yesterday, McCarthy was stunned that he could have kept such a condition under wraps as she explained that in the “acting world” stars not only have to “sign a piece of paper that says do you have cold sores,” but they also have to show their medication.
“Before we do a job, we have to sign a piece of paper that says ‘do you have cold sores,’ you have to sign a release and show the medication,” she revealed. “If I have to be upfront about a herpes, how could you not be upfront about HIV?” she fumed.
McCarthy had a recurring role on Sheen’s long-running hit sitcom “Two and a Half Men” as Courtney, one of his character’s love interests.
“Being on Two and a Half Men myself and being on the show and playing a love interest, you would think that there would be some type of — I don’t want to say — criminal issue… but I don’t even know how to feel about that,” Jenny continued. “Look how many people have played his love interest on the show. It’s not that you can obviously get it through kissing, but still it’s a big deal.”
Sheen claimed to the Today show that it’s “impossible” that he’s transmitted this disease to anyone, and that he’s told every sexual partner — “no exception” — about the condition.
