(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Jim Carrey has fired back at Jenny McCarthy after she made some unflattering comments about him.

The couple had dated for five years but broke up in 2010.

Jenny told Howard Stern during his radio show recently that she had tried "numerous times" to get Jim to see her son Evan who he had become close to during their romance but Jim has refused.

"I will always do what I believe is in the best interest of Evan's well being," Jim said in his response statement.

"It's unfortunate that Evan's privacy is not being considered. I love Evan very much and will miss him always."

Jenny also claimed that her 10-year-old, who is autistic, has been seeing a therapist because of the issue but she still allows him to watch Jim's movies.

Jim has moved on and is currently dating Anastasia Vitkina while Jenny began dating Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher in April. (C) Cover Media
