Jenny Mollen, actress and wife of actor Jason Biggs, has ignited a social media firestorm after revealing she unknowingly boarded a five-hour flight while infected with head lice. The shocking admission, made in an Instagram video, has caused outrage among fans and passengers alike, questioning her judgment and lack of responsibility.
The Lice Revelation: A Flight From Hell
Mollen, known for her candid and often controversial social media presence, took to Instagram to share the unsettling details of her flight. She revealed that she had been itching for two weeks, initially thinking it was related to perimenopause. However, during the flight, the reality hit: the itching was caused by head lice.
In the video, Mollen casually drops the bomb: “Guess what? I have f—ing lice!” She admitted that she had never had lice before and was completely caught off guard by the discovery. To make matters worse, she didn’t realize she had lice until she was already on the plane, surrounded by other passengers. Instead of informing the crew or taking immediate action, she wrapped her head in a plastic bag for the remainder of the flight, doing nothing to address the potential risk of spreading lice to others.
Public Outrage: “She’s a Public Health Nightmare”
The backlash was swift and intense. Many followers took to social media to express their anger and disbelief. One user commented, “How could she not tell the crew? You can’t just let that spread all over the plane!” Another added, “For God’s sake, tell the crew and warn the passengers. What were you thinking?”
Some called her a slob, questioning her lack of action and consideration for others. “What kind of person doesn’t take responsibility for spreading lice to everyone around them?” one user wrote. The incident quickly became a hot topic of conversation, with many calling her actions irresponsible and thoughtless.
The phrase “New fear of planes unlocked” spread across social media, highlighting the discomfort and fear passengers now have about the potential risks of traveling with someone who unknowingly carries a contagious condition like lice.
Mollen’s Defense: Blame It on Her Husband
In an attempt to defend herself, Mollen posted a follow-up video, explaining that she didn’t know she had lice until after the flight. She also accused media outlets like Page Six of misreporting the incident, claiming they didn’t understand the timeline. “I guess you didn’t watch the video because I didn’t know I had lice until I had a head exam later that night,” she clarified.
In an unexpected twist, Mollen shifted some of the blame onto her husband, Jason Biggs. She revealed that she had asked him if he noticed anything unusual in her hair, but he had assured her that she was fine. “Let’s just blame my husband for not looking closely enough at my head,” she quipped, trying to deflect some of the blame.
Despite her explanation, the controversy continues to unfold. While some have defended her, many are still disgusted by her apparent lack of responsibility. This incident has sparked a broader conversation about personal accountability, public health, and air travel hygiene, with many questioning how such a situation was allowed to escalate. Will Mollen face consequences? Only time will tell.
