Plus, inside Jenny’s sweet Thanksgiving plans with her husband Donnie Wahlberg
Jenny McCarthy opened up about a serious health issue thats plagued her for the past year and forced her to undergo nine surgeries.
The Masked Singer judge revealed that she suffered an infection after a ceramic dental implant.
In an interview with People, the comedian and model said, “I’ve had nine surgeries this year on my mouth, my teeth were falling out.”
“They finally had to dig into my jawbone and chipped away, and found I had a deep bone infection.
“I’ve been on antibiotics for a year, and have had to eat soft foods only.”
Jenny, 53, said she is very thankful this Thanksgiving to be able to finally eat solid foods.
The actress and her husband, Donnie Wahlberg, 56, released a holiday card in which she looked fit and trim.
She told the outlet that her svelte figure was due, in large part, to her inability to eat regular foods.
“As of now, I’m able to chew again, but every time we thought it had cleared up, it came back again.”
Even worse, not only would Jenny have pain and swelling in her jaw, she was having terrifying issues with her eyes.
“At the same time, I was getting these growths popping up on my eyeballs.”
She added, “People should actually feel a little sorry for me!”
Jenny and Donnie, who have been married for 11 years, both have busy schedules.
Donnie has been filming in Canada filming Boston Blue and she has been in LA for her Masked Singer duties.
