Of course Jenny can ask but it sounds like Tara told her beforehand that she doesn't want to talk about it, and definitely repeats that during the interview. This isn't even especially about being nice, it's also about doing a good interview. It also occurred to me that the show might have a disclosure thingy if it's still filming, so maybe Tara couldn't talk about it, although that's a technicality I'm not going to pursue.
I'll forget about Tara in a day or two, but this sort of encounter makes me feel bad for her.

Tara isn't going to win Citizen of the Year any time soon, but Jenny McCarthy is the effing worst. The only good thing she's done is help her cousin Melissa get a foothold in Hollywood.
I don't care what the topic is, but if someone tells you "I don't want to publicly talk about X" before the interview and then you bring it up anyway, that's a dick move. She was there to promote her work. If she doesn't want to talk about her surgical procedures, she is well within her right to do so.
McCarthy's claim to fame is she's a pretty girl who burps and farts. From there she's been annoying at best, and dangerous at worst. I couldn't believe it when I heard Sirius gave her a radio show.

I have to disagree with that because I don't think a person should get to pick and choose what questions the press can ask you, as long as there's no legal reason to not talk about it. I have see parts of this reality show that Tara is in and she's doing this tough girl think, "I'm Tara fucking Reid," standing like she's "gangsta" or something. Please, give me a break, I used to feel sorry for her, but no more, she's made her bed. It seems the issue really is that it was Jenny McCarthy asking her questions; maybe if it was someone more "beloved" there wouldn't be an issue.

Maybe a politician or someone else with clout or influence should have to answer questions, but a has-been actress with issues, who thinks she's promoting Sharknado 4? And Jenny McCarthy is not some media heavy hitter. I'm ok with Tara setting limits on what she's willing to talk about in an interview. Jenny could take it or leave it.

I agree with eclair. Jenny McCarthy isn't a journalist, and isn't doing journalism. She's a celebrity interviewer doing a subscription radio show and would almost definitely slide away if someone badgered her on something she didn't want to talk about. Tara might not be a great person but she's not talking about public policy or holding anyone's life at stake.

Tara probably didn't want to say anything about her reality show because her big finale is coming up. She's about to do something never seen in the show's history so she probably wanted to keep the mystery going. She nor Jenny are important enough for all this grousing. They are both D-list.

Tara Reid should be grateful for any publicity she gets IMO. I don't even consider her a real actress anymore. She's not even the only has-been in Sharknado; Jenny should have just cancelled the entire interview; maybe Tara Reid shouldn't do any interviews anymore if she's that sensitive.
BTW, she was shutting down the people on the reality show too, saying what she will and won't talk about. If she's got that many secrets maybe she shouldn't even be on a reality show.

I think they're both gross, but at least Tara only hurts herself. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for Jenny McCarthy. She sucks.

I'm not really sure that the topics were agreed to be off-limits and Jenny asked anyway. I think Tara thought she could use her ninja-like evasion tactics to deflect the questions and change the subject but then got pissed that Jenny pushed past brilliant responses like, "There's complicated stuff with that so whatever".
