Correction: Jenny McCarthy's "Belly Laughs" Was a Best Seller

From Lisa Jo Rudy, About.com GuideSeptember 26, 2008

In a prior blog post, I made the comment that Jenny McCarthy had written books prior to last year's Louder Than Words , but that the books were not best sellers. In fact, her book Belly Laughs, made it to the New York Times best seller list. Here is the book description from Amazon.com:
Oh, the joys of pregnancy! There's the gassiness, constipation, queasiness, and exhaustion, the forgetfulness, crankiness, and the constant worry. Of course, no woman is spared the discomforts and humiliations of pregnancy, but most are too polite to complain or too embarrassed to talk about them. Not Jenny McCarthy! In the New York Times best-selling Belly Laughs, actress and new mother Jenny McCarthy reveals the naked truth about the tremendous joys, the excruciating pains, and the unseemly disfigurement that go along with pregnancy. Never shy, frequently crude, and always laugh-out-loud funny, McCarthy covers it all in the grittiest of girlfriend detail. From morning sickness and hormonal rage, to hemorrhoids, pregnant sex, and the torture and sweet relief that is delivery, Belly Laughs is must-read comic relief for anyone who is pregnant, who has ever been pregnant, is trying to get pregnant, or, indeed, has ever been born!
Sorry for the error.

Jenny McYeasty was an expert on yeast infections before her son was diagnosed with autism. There’s a quote from her on a blog somewhere I read, she said that if a woman didn’t want to have sex with a man she could tell him that she had a yeast infection and that would turn him off. Some call that sort of comment “witty” or “crude.” I call it putrid.

In case you haven’t heard. Jenny McCarthy’s son never had autism. He has Landau Kleffner Syndrome. Ooops…looks like she’s going to have to do a lot of diversionary tactics to distance herself from this major blunder. One has to wonder how long she knew…..it’s a scary thought to think publishers are this stupid and reckless. Didn’t they do a background check on her before they published such manipulative lies? Jenny is quite smart, by the way and must have some very savvy agents. They knew Evan turned out not to be really autistic, but kept putting it out as if he were. C’mon now Jenny. Be honest with the public!

If you look at Jenny’s background with her son you’ll see a very very interesting picture. one that is quite chilling actually, perhaps one of the biggest frauds ever to infiltrate the autism community.

Jenny first told the world her son was an Indigo child. Then he had seizures. And was brought by ambulance to hospital where they gave him a boatload of ativan and other seizure controlling medications. He then started taking seizures meds. Daily. Notice she RARELY speaks of his seizures. I guess she figured autism label would be a better marketing tool, and she was right.
