Jenny McCarthy is ‘terrified’ of Oprah

Jenny McCarthy definitely isn’t one of Oprah’s favorite things.

During a TV appearance (alongside very, very affectionate boyfriend Donnie Wahlberg), the freshly minted “The View” cohost, told Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live” that she’s “scared of Oprah“.

McCarthy said that she’d had a falling out with Winfrey after a tentative deal fell through. Winfrey approached McCarthy about having her own talk show on the billionaire TV mega-mogul’s “OWN” network, which they apparently shook on.

“I did a deal with her for five years, and we kind of shook hands. I would be scared she would beat me up.”

Asked to clarify what happened with the deal, McCarthy said, “It didn’t (work out),” suggesting that she walked away to pursue other interests like “The View.” “I left. I am terrified (of her). I would be like, ‘Oh no!'(if we ran into each other).”

“Do you think you’re on her ‘list?'” Cohen asked.

“I’m sure there’s probably a lot of people on her s–t list, but I’m probably number four.”

Not so says Oprah, who tweeted McCarthy straight away saying, “@JennyMcCarthy don’t have a s–t list If I did you’d never be on it. Wishing you only good fortune, love and light and watching @theview.”
