UPDATE: On this morning’s episode of The View, Jim Carrey’s ex Jenny McCarthy weighed in on the controversy.

“You can attack myself, but don’t bring my children into it. And I’m sure it’s the same for Jim,”; she said. “Jim and I have become friends now since our breakup. We dated for five years and I got to know his daughter, Jane, who is a lovely, lovely girl. It’s completely uncalled for and wrong. Jim is a great father. He loves Jane more than anything in the world. Shia did apologize and Jim did take it, but the whole thing is, do not bring our children into it.”;

Just three days after announcing his decision to retire from “all public life”;, actor Shia LaBeouf has once again found himself in the middle of another high profile Twitter controversy.

While presenting the award for Best Motion Picture—Musical or Comedy at last night’s Golden Globes, Jim Carrey made the following quip about LaBeouf’s much-publicized plagiarism scandal: “Dying is easy. Comedy is hard…I believe it was Shia LaBeouf who said that. So young, so wise.”;

LaBeouf immediately took to Twitter to register his outrage. “At least I don’t get arrested for indecency on major LA highways! Or abandon love child’s,”; the Transformers star wrote.

Two hours later, LaBeouf issued an apology.

Jim Carrey states that he is deeply involved in his daughter’s life – I accept that,regret tweet on the matter. Apologies to both parents. — Shia LaBeouf (@thecampaignbook) January 13, 2014

Before calling it a night, LaBeouf added:
