The ex-wife of Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Cormac McCarthy, was
arrested on Saturday after allegedly whipping a gun out of her v**ina
and threatening her boyfriend.
Jennifer McCarthy, 48, got into an argument with her 53-year-old
lover about space aliens, according to a probable cause affidavit
obtained by The Smoking Gun. McCarthy left her Santa Fe residence, then
came back and changed into lingerie. The outfit was accessorized by a
silver handgun placed in her v**ina, with which she began to have “inner
course,” [sic] according to the affidavit.
While cleaning the chamber, McCarthy reportedly posed the question,
“Who is crazy, you or me?” before pulling out the gun and pointing it at
her boyfriend’s head, the Albuquerque Journal reported. The boyfriend
told deputies he wrested the weapon away from her and put it first in
the toilet, then the trash can.
Gawker’s Tom Scocca was inspired to write a comedic take on the incident in the style of Cormac McCarthy.
“She was in the doorway. She had stri*ped in there
and dressed her body for the boudoir, soft lady clothes baring flesh and
something more, down at the forking of her legs. Hard nickelplate
steel, the Smith & Wesson. Her hand was on it. Whos crazy.“
McCarthy was charged with aggravated assault on a household member.
Her LinkedIn profile describes her as an artist.
