Washington, January 15 : Jenny McCarthy understands devastated couple John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston's grief following the death of their young son, for the model herself "lost" her son after he suffered a seizure.

The grieving celebrity couple recently bade their 16-year-old Jett a final goodbye after the teenager died from a seizure during a family holiday in the Bahamas.

Jenny McCarthy has a lot to say about Dennis Leary’s controversial new book Why We Suck: A Feel-Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid – a book that ridicules autistic people.

The actress spoke to Access Hollywood labeling Leary “Stupid”. “Whoo! First of all, let me tell you, the autism community has received probably 10,000 emails [saying] Go kill him! Go yell at him.”

“This community has been through so much and to compare and use the word dumb-ass lazy with autism, it’s just not fair,” said McCarthy.
