I stole sacred item from Pope’s apartment – Ex-Playboy playmate, Jenny McCarthy confesses

Jenny McCarthy has admitted that she stole a precious object from Pope Francis during a vacation to Italy.

According to Fox News, 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 taken by one of her pals while they were visiting the Pope's apartment in Vatican City.

McCarthy then disclosed that her mother, Linda, had maintained the cross, which she says is prominently displayed in her home.

"She still has it on the wall, though, so I feel like it was — it's in good hands," McCarthy informed me.
