Actress and “The Masked Singer” judge Jenny McCarthy has recently shared that she has devoted her life to Jesus Christ after the tragic assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
During a guest appearance on the podcast “Culture Apothecary” hosted by Alex Clark, McCarthy discussed her emotional state following Kirk’s shooting at a TPUSA event in Utah last September, as reported by church leaders.
“I was so devastated… When he got shot, I prayed and prayed, and I called every doctor I could and said, ‘Please tell me this wound can heal…’ Finding the good in terrible situations helps you move forward. It’s inspiring to see how many people—myself included—have turned to God,” McCarthy expressed.
Following Kirk’s death, she shared a heartfelt video, featuring the song “The Blessing” by Kari Jobe, where she reflected on praising God in her life. Despite being raised Catholic, McCarthy noted that the tragedy brought her and her husband, Donnie Wahlberg, closer to their faith.
“I grew up Catholic… I have a deep relationship with God. Some people find it hard to hear Him, but I feel like I have a direct connection. Jesus is my buddy,” she said. “I’ve always followed Christ, but after Charlie passed, I completely surrendered. I dove into studying the Bible right away… We became truly religious after Charlie’s passing.”
McCarthy also touched on how Kirk’s memorial impacted her and how his death has led many to Christ.
“I want Charlie to know that, and I think he does because he can see all of us. He changed the world,” she remarked. “He saved the world. Just think about that as a legacy… Bringing so many people closer to Christ is such a gift.”
