Tara Reid storms out of radio interview with Jenny McCarthy

TARA Reid did not want to talk about plastic surgery or rubber sharks with Jenny McCarthy, but the radio host had the last laugh.

ACTRESS Tara Reid walked off Jenny McCarthy’s radio show on Friday after refusing to answer questions about her participation on the dodgy US reality show Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars and her past with plastic surgery.

According to the New York Post, McCarthy started the interview by telling Reid that she loves her on this season of Marriage Boot Camp and asking if Reid was glad she got involved in the drama-filled show.

“It’s not worth the time to talk about,” Reid responded.

When McCarthy pressed for more details, Reid made it clear she would not be talking about the reality show. “Babe, I asked you, please let’s not talk about the show. We’re all here to talk about Sharknado.”

McCarthy then switched gears to the fourth instalment of the cult film, clearly trying to diffuse the situation by asking if Reid had to get in shape before shooting.

“It’s not like you really need to get into shape. It’s Sharknado. It’s, like, fake sharks. They’re rubber,” Reid retorted.

For a few seconds the tension settled before McCarthy brought up another sore subject: Reid’s plastic surgeries. McCarthy asked if Reid was done going under the knife.

“No, I haven’t had any surgery for a while Jenny,” Reid said. “I think I’ve made that clear, like, about 100 times. Maybe that’s because you only read the bad things, but I made that really clear [for] so many years, but read what you want to read.”

McCarthy started to say something else, but Reid cut her off with, “It was really nice talking to you and really good luck with your show.”

It then seemed like McCarthy had had enough, wishing Reid good luck and adding, “I hope your knees get a little wobblier than they already are.”

“I hope your t**s get even nicer, because they’re amazing. The same guy who did mine, right?” Reid spat back. “I’ll always use your advice. You’re the best. Bye.”

McCarthy got the last word as Reid stood up to leave, “Love you, Tara. Good luck with Sharknado 18.”

Ouch.

No word on whether the ladies made up after the show.
