Actress Jenny McCarthy has made a powerful, emotional revelation. She stated that the tragic assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on September 10th directly led her and her husband, Donnie Wahlberg, to “become devout” Christians. Speaking on Alex Clark’s Culture Apothecary<\/i> podcast, McCarthy revealed she immediately started Bible study following the shocking event.<\/span><\/p>\n

“With every horrible thing, if you find the good, it can help you move forward,” McCarthy explained. She cited a “mass awakening” following Kirk’s death, noting “how many people came closer to God, even including myself.\u201d When pressed, McCarthy elaborated that she was raised Catholic and has always had a “very deep relationship with God.” However, she added, “I\u2019ve always been a follower of Christ, but when he [Kirk] passed, I completely surrendered.” She stressed her newfound devotion, stating, “I am so devoted. I mean, I started Bible study immediately.\u201d The actress then urged listeners to download the Christian app Duomo.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dirty Love<\/i> star asserted that Kirk’s sacrifice was intentional and profound. “I feel like Charlie knew exactly what he was doing,” she claimed. “And I know now that he knew the sacrifice he was making.” She described his memorial as a powerful experience, asking, “couldn\u2019t you feel it around the country? Around the world? I felt it, the mass awakening.\u201d McCarthy offered prayers for those who did not feel the impact, saying, “They\u2019re just, they\u2019re not there yet.” She then sent a message to the late activist. \u201cI just want Charlie to know that \u2014 and I know he knows this, because he can see us all \u2014 he changed the world. He saved the world. I mean, imagine having that as your legacy. You shifted, but you brought all those people closer to Christ. What a what a gift.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The conversation turned deeply emotional when Clark referenced a post McCarthy made about listening to worship music after Kirk was murdered. “Crying,” McCarthy interjected, before starting to sob. Through tears, the Scream 3<\/i> actress said, \u201cIt was so sad, because the work he was doing was so good.\u201d She lamented what she called the “two realities” regarding public perception of Kirk. “There\u2019s a certain group of people in the world that were fed only one narrative of Charlie,” she claimed, arguing they “didn\u2019t see the other side.”<\/span><\/p>\n

McCarthy continued to express immense respect for Kirk’s efforts. “I understood his journey so much, in terms of putting yourself on the line,” she said. She drew a parallel to her own career, noting, “I personally understood what it was like to get threats. I\u2019ve been threatened my whole career, since I\u2019ve come out.\u201d She acknowledged “the courage it takes to stand in front of people, to tell your truth, to go on shows, to get beat up, to get trolled.” Recalling the shooting, the One on One<\/i> actress struggled to speak, taking a moment while covering her face. \u201cI was so broken \u2014 when he was shot I prayed, and prayed, and prayed,” she tearfully confessed. She described making desperate calls to doctors, saying, \u201cTell me that this wound is something that could be healed,\u201d though admitting, “I kind of knew it wasn\u2019t.\u201d She concluded, \u201cIt was such a dark day. It is still a dark time, I think, for so many people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
