Model-turned-autism activist Jenny McCarthy is shutting down her academy for autistic children following a series of disagreements with the school’s co-founder.
Just days after revealing via Twitter that she and boyfriend Jim Carrey had split up, Jenny announced that she is closing Teach2Talk Academy, her school for autistic children.
“Jenny and her partner at the Academy, Sarah Scheflen, had different visions for the school and made a decision to go their separate ways,” a rep for Jenny said in a statement late Thursday night.
The rep noted that both women will carry on their work in the fight against autism.
“Both intend to continue on in this important mission. Sarah and Jenny really enjoyed their time working at the Academy and feel honored that they were able to provide such high quality early intervention services to so many children with autism and other developmental disabilities.”
