Jenny McCarthy Recalls Playboy Parties Filled With Ugly Men “Over 70 Years Old” On ‘WWHL’: “Viagra Central”

Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg is looking back on her Playboy days. On Monday night’s (March 18) episode of the Watch What Happens Live: After Show, the model remembered attending parties at the Playboy Mansion that were filled with the “ugliest” guys who were all “over 70 years old.”

McCarthy-Wahlberg told host Andy Cohen that there was “so much sex going on with gross celebrities in the grotto areas,” noting that she saw “a lot of that action” at the parties.

When Cohen asked if the parties had a “sexy vibe,” McCarthy-Wahlberg said, “Unfortunately, they would invite like — for every 20 guys, it was one girl. So the guys were just in heaven. But also the guys were over 70 years old … There were only hot women and the ugliest dudes.”

She added, “They were really, really old. It was viagra central.”

According to McCarthy-Wahlberg, she was working at a Polish grocery store when she scored her Playboy gig. When the star was rejected by several modeling agencies, she decided to go to Playboy HQ in Chicago, where she ran into the magazine editor and was basically offered Miss October by the end of that day. The following year (in 1994, to be exact), she was named Playmate of the Year.

“I didn’t tell [my parents] at first. I put my mom on a cruise with the money I got from Playboy when the issue came out so they weren’t there for all the news media,” she said. “Because I went to Catholic school — it was very scary! She disowned me for three days and then she fell in love with me again.”

McCarthy-Wahlberg also revealed that she “paid off” all of her parents’ bills with the money.

As far as the scandals surrounding Hugh Hefner and the Playboy world, McCarthy-Wahlberg said her experience was “positive” because Hefner was “married at the time.”

“There was that big Playboy scandal TV show special. They asked me to be part of it constantly,” she said. “I’m like, ‘Listen, I didn’t have that experience.’ Pamela [Anderson] didn’t have that experience. We were at a different time I think.”

She also couldn’t comment much on whether Hefner was hitting on women when he wasn’t married. “I don’t know because I wasn’t there. I was there when his kids were throwing bacon at me in high chairs. It was like the perfect time,” she said, noting that she’d someday like to tell the “funny stories of it all.”

“Like girls hunting for Hef in the middle of the night when he was married … Or girls hot waxing their poon,” McCarthy-Wahlberg recalled. “I’m like, ‘What’s happening? I just came here from Chicago. I was working at a Polish grocery store only yesterday and I’m walking into this chaos.'”
