Comments

Actress-turned-writer Jenny Mollen caused a stir over new comments about her preteen son.

On Tuesday, Mollen appeared on Amanda Hirsch’s podcast, Not Skinny But Not Fat, to address the criticism surrounding pictures she posted on Instagram in May.

In the two photos, the best-selling author—who shares her two sons with her ex-husband, American Pie star Jason Biggs—lies in bed on top of her 12-year-old son, Sid.

In the caption of her widely criticized post, the 47-year-old wrote, “Your eldest son will be the most toxic guy you ever date.”

On the podcast, Mollen explained that the post and her widely criticized Substack essays were made jokingly.

“And by the way, if you knew my son, like he’s really the predator on me,” she said. “He’s the one who’s f---ing all over me. I’ve been like trying to like lock him out of the bathroom for like the last 12 years.”

She continued to detail their supposed dynamic.

“I’m in this dysfunctional relationship with like a guy who’s like, you know, ‘Can you hold my head while I like vomit into the toilet? Can you give me a full-body massage before bed? Can you, you know, be a dear and put more ice in my water bottle?’” Mollen said.

Adding, “Use and abuse me, and I’m still like, ‘Is he going to call? Like, I’m just never that girl. I’ve never been in that kind of relationship.”

Mollen said her son is aware of the conversation surrounding her original post and teases her about it.

“Just like a little spider monkey on me and I’m in trouble,” Mollen said, adding, “And now he is like, ‘Get away from me, you molester,’ just to like f--- with me.”

On a more serious note, Mollen replied to comments calling her a predator.

“Nobody’s more afraid of predators than me,” she said. “Like literally, I never let my kids like sleep out. I was like, ‘Everyone is a child molester until proven otherwise.’ Like, even my friends, I would not. I was so paranoid.”

Hirsch asked Mollen why she thought people took the joke the wrong way, even though Mollen had made similar jokes throughout her career.

“I think they thought that maybe the hug looked lascivious. I’m not sure. I don’t think they liked the caption ‘toxic,’” Mollen said.

“I think that, like, if I had made this joke a month ago, two months ago, it would have played differently,” she added.

In May, Mollen and Biggs announced their separation after 18 years of marriage.

Mollen added, “I think that there’s something about a woman who is not attached to a man that somehow reads as a threat, dangerous.”

She also addressed the comment she had made in May on her Substack, writing that a 12-year-old girl talking to her son was not “hotter” than she was.

She said it was a “joke about like the way that you can spin over somebody that you love. Like nothing more nothing less.”

After Hirsch posted a clip of the interview on Instagram, many commenters were unimpressed by Mollen’s reasoning.

“This really didn’t change the narrative. The caption was weird. It’s still weird. I have two sons. This thinking is strange,” one person commented.

Another added, “Holding your older children isn’t weird at all but the fact that you compared it to someone you date or a romantic relationship & then explaining it like this is though.”

A third one chimed in, “Imagine a dad writing an article like this about his daughter.”
