Jim Carrey Responds to Jenny McCarthy Claim He Abandoned Son After Split

Jim Carrey is responding to Jenny McCarthy after she publicly slammed him for allegedly abandoning her autistic son Evan when the couple split in 2010.

In an interview with In Touch titled, “Jim Carrey Broke My Son’s Heart,” McCarthy tells the mag her ex has refused to see the 10-year-old boy since their breakup, saying, “My kid is in therapy over it.”

She adds that she still holds out hope that Carrey will come back into her son’s life.

Now, Carrey is responding to McCarthy’s criticism, telling Gossip Cop in a statement, “I will always do what I believe is in the best interest of Evan’s well being. It’s unfortunate that Evan’s privacy is not being considered. I love Evan very much and will miss him always.”

What do you think about this extremely complicated situation between the exes?

    Not sure what she expected would happen after they broke up! I know a kid is in the middle of this. But when a relationship is over it is not so easy to continue a relationship with a child that is not even yours.

  • Jennieboo2u

    Sounds to me like he feels that it’s in the best interest of the child to stay away. Gotta respect him for that. This is what happens when people with children split up. I’m sorry her son is hurting but it is the reality of it. People are slamming him for staying away. Yes her son is autistic and I’m sorry for that but it is what it is and I think it should have been kept private. It’s been 2 years. Move on…

  • Eric

    SO sad, why didnt he put the kid first.

  • Bcournoyer

    She needs to just shut up. First she has parents terrified vaccinations cause autism then she has people hoping she found the cure. Now she’s dating someone else but still hopes he’ll come back to her? Does she not realize how difficult it’d be for Evan to still have Jim come around even though him and Jenny aren’t together anymore or how difficult it’d be for either adult? He’s not Evans father.

  • Common Sense

    Jim is NOT that’s boys’s father she is dumb to expect him to stay in touch once the relationship is over. How about the boy spend time with his father instead.

  • Regina1180

    Wow! Poor kid. She should have kept him out of it publicly.

    Cause Evan isn’t his..

    That is totally ridiculous. I dated a guy with 2 young daughters. I loved both of them to death but, their father was scumbag so we broke up. I never expect to see those kids again and I would be shocked/angry if he called me out now (its been 1 and 1/2 yrs) saying I ‘abandoned’ them. Jenny is seeing someone else. I can just imagine how that guy feels about her talking about an ex in this manner. Low blow and low class. Jim is happy (and I think engaged?) and has moved on. She needs to do the same and if her son is really hung up about it and is in therapy I have to think it is because it is difficult for him to understand because he is autistic? jmo

    Correction: Her son isn’t autistic. After she spewed a bunch of misinformation about vaccinations and even profited off writing books about him she recently found out he doesn’t actually have autism.

  • kcijones001

    she also slammed his lack of secual desire on howard stern a couple days ago.

  • Acl295

    Not his biological son

  • help

    Wow. Jenny really wants Jim back. I bet she has tried every trick in the book to come down to this!
    Let’s now hear how her friend Chelsea Handler spins this one! Jenny, you are an idiot!

    Jim Carrey is not that boy’s father – maybe she should get the actual father to spend time with her son and not expect any “boyfriend” she has to be the main male role model for him.

  • Satine

    This stint backfired on her by the comments here on Gossip Cop and I am certain other media sites. This should have been a private matter. Where does it say that an ex-boyfriend, not even a husband needs to be there for her son. It would be very awkward to say the least if he is in a new relationship with another woman and he has his own child plus a grandchild. It is a shame that her boy needs psychiatric help but really is that something you want spread over the media. I hate to say it but she seems like a real fame whore. She seems to be a nice person, but to put this out there is really a slam on her behavior, not Jim.

  • Chris

    Poorly written story! Jim should be in the boys life….after all Jenny is an idiot and a skank. The kid needs someone stable.

  • anon

    If she’s still this angry and vindictive after this much time I wouldn’t want anything to do with her either and unfortunately Evan pays the price.

  • Steph

    The fact is when you enter a relationship with anyone who has children, especially a child that does not have contact with one of their biological parents, you can not come into that child’s life, act like a father and then ditch that child when the relationship ends. Children do not understand adult relationships, all they understand is that all of a sudden a person that they have grown to love and see as a parent is abandoning them. Anyone with children can understand that. It has nothing to do with the fact the Jenny McCathy’s son has autism, any young child would feel abandoned in these sort of circumstances. Jim Carey saying he loves and misses the boy is clearly not the case because if it was he would still want to be in his life and would never want him to feel like he has abandon him. I don’t think that Jenny should be spewing all of this out into the media however as a Mother I can see her point of view.

    For all the people saying that Evan should be spending time with his real father, maybe there is a reason he doesn’t. For all we know, his real father could be some sort of dirt bag that shouldn’t be in Evan’s life.

  • Truth

    something tells me your a single mother and bitter.

  • Mayhemgirl

    Well I can’t stand this woman for a number of reasons, but they were together for five years, so he was a huge part of that boy’s life. So after a break up, he should have maintained the relationship with the boy because really that was the man in the kids life. Now, I don’t know why he didn’t do that, I don’t know why they broke up, but this was something she should have not taken public years after a relationship ended. She consistently proves she has very little class and even less intelligence.

  • Mayhemgirl

    Totally true, but then again, how is that Jim’s fault? Ultimately, it is HER child legally and every other way and not his. I don’t agree with him not being a part of the kids life, but he shouldn’t have to be a part of it just because the “real” dad isn’t in it.

  • Steph

    Actually I’m a Widow…. Something tells me you have never had to look in your child eyes and see an enormous amount of pain, but thanks for your observations

  • Regina1180

    I get your point, but it’s hard for biological parents to be a part of each others lives after a rough split. Imagine what that woul be like for someone that doesn’t have the blood connection to a child.

    We have no idea what happened to these two and why they split, but judging by her bitterness, it wasn’t an amicable break up. I can’t blame Jim Carrey for not staying in the boys life. It may just be too hard because of his mother.

  • Brenda

    They have been apart for almost two years? Why then is this just now happening? Wonder which of them needs the publicity. I have never been a fan of Jim Carrey,he gives me the creeps I have always thought his humor was a cover for something wierd. However, he appeared to care for the child while they were together. It is sad that her son has been affected by this, but the simple truth is that he is Jenny’s child and therefore her responsibility. If she isn’t able to help him understand the changes in his world then perhaps consider getting professional help for him. But for goodness sake, let the child keep some dignity.

    Were they married? Nope. S–t happens. Has McCarthy been in a relationship since? Yep. Let’s move along. There’s nothing to see here.
