American actress and model, the popular Jenny McCarthy has revealed that she stole a sacred item from Pope Francis during a trip to Italy.
Fox News reports that the 51-year-old TV personality, who was raised in a devout Catholic family, made the confession 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 Masked Singer’ judge told host Kelly Ripa.
“My mom’s like, ‘You know, this is not okay.’” She added.
However, McCarthy went on to clarify that she didn’t “personally” steal the cross but said it was purloined by one of her girlfriends while they were visiting the Pope’s apartment 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.
