Jenny McCarthy has admitted that she stole a precious object from Pope Francis during a vacation to Italy.
According to reports, the 51-year-old TV personality, who was raised in a devout Catholic family, confessed during a Wednesday appearance on the “Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa” podcast.
“I stole a cross from the Vatican and gave it to my mother,” the judge on ‘The Masked Singer’ said host Kelly Ripa. “My mom’s like, ‘You know, this is not okay.'” She added. McCarthy later clarified that she did not “personally” steal the cross, but that it was stolen by one of her girlfriends while they were visiting the Pope’s flat in Vatican City.
McCarthy then revealed that her mother, Linda, kept the cross, which she said is prominently displayed at her home.
“She still has it on the wall, though, so I feel like it was — it’s in good hands,” McCarthy said.
