Jenny Mollen, actress and author, addressed recent criticism regarding comments she made about her 12-year-old son, Sid, during an appearance on Amanda Hirsch’s podcast, "Not Skinny But Not Fat." Mollen's comments followed backlash from a May Instagram post where she stated, "Your eldest son will be the most toxic guy you ever date," alongside photos of her lying in bed with Sid.
On the podcast, Mollen clarified that her remarks were intended as jokes. She described her relationship with her son humorously, stating, "He’s really the predator on me" and shared anecdotes about their interactions. Mollen also responded to accusations of being a predator, emphasizing her protective nature regarding her children and her fears of potential threats.
Mollen speculated that the public misinterpretation of her comments might stem from the way she expressed them, suggesting that the caption and context may have contributed to the negative reception. She noted that her son is aware of the discussion surrounding her comments and often teases her about it. The conversation comes after Mollen and her ex-husband, Jason Biggs, announced their separation after 18 years of marriage in May.
