Jenny McCarthy revealed that her health ordeal, which left her terrified of possible mould contamination, forced her to persuade her husband Donnie Wahlberg to part with his clothes.
The 54-year-old television star admitted she also gave up 30 years of her own clothing, including red carpet outfits.
Speaking to Dr Amy Myers on 'The Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg Show' on Tuesday (10.11.26), Jenny explained that she no longer feels comfortable keeping many of her old belongings.
She said: "I wound up throwing everything away."
The 'Masked Singer' panellist explained that she recently bought her first new outfit after relying on inexpensive clothes ordered through TikTok Shop.
Jenny admitted she was reluctant to spend money replacing her wardrobe because she feared having to get rid of everything again.
She said losing decades of clothing and memories had been difficult, but her health concerns had taken priority.
The actress also faced the awkward task of telling her husband that his wardrobe needed to go.
She recalled telling the 'Blue Bloods' actor: "Guess what? Your clothes also have to go bye-bye."
Jenny explained that the couple left their furniture behind when they moved out of their Los Angeles home.
Although she believes her exposure began in a makeup room where her makeup artist also became ill, she did not want to risk bringing potentially contaminated belongings with them.
The former 'The View' presenter has previously described undergoing repeated medical procedures and receiving a diagnosis of mycotoxin poisoning.
She also revealed that the emotional strain of her experience has left her fearful of everyday environments.
Jenny said she sometimes cries while following a demanding treatment routine, which she described as involving around 100 pills a day.
The star has referred to her continuing fears as "mould PTSD", although she has not said whether she has received a formal PTSD diagnosis.
Jenny and Donnie married in 2014 and have spoken publicly about their close relationship throughout their marriage.
