Fresh from his own break-up with Jenny McCarthy, Jim Carrey had plenty to say, 140 characters at a time on twitter, recently, about golfer Tiger Woods and his wife Elin Nordegren. @JimCarrey tweeted on 9th April, “No wife is blind enough to miss that much infidelity” and “Elin had 2 b a willing participant on the ride 4 whatever reason. kids/lifestyle.” He also used twitter to defend Woods, tweeting, “Tiger Woods owes nothing 2 anyone but himself” and “2 please his father he gave up his childhood and his freedom in the world. That’s enough!” He added, “If you really wanna see sexual disfunction get 2 know your favourite basketball star!” and “Curling is the only safe sport 4 a married man!”
It’s unclear what possessed Carrey to weigh-in publicly on the Tiger Woods scandal, but this isn’t the first time that he has used twitter to talk about relationships. When McCarthy announced their split, he discussed it on his twitter page first. He tweeted, “I’m grateful 4 the many blessings we’ve shared and I wish her the very best! S’okay!” The couple were together for five years and the break-up came as a surprise to the public. Just this past February, when asked about his Valentine’s Day plans, Carrey told People magazine, “Everyday is Valentine’s Day with McCarthy”. Their split sounds more than amicable, with each planning to stay involved in the other’s life.
