‘Disgusting’ Jenny Mollen slammed for getting on a plane with lice
Fans are slamming Jenny Mollen for getting on a five-hour flight with lice.
The actress, who is married to “American Pie” star Jason Biggs, revealed she had lice in her hair during a video shared on Instagram recently.
“I can’t even deal. This is insane,” she said to the camera while sitting on the plane. “I’ve never had lice in my life. I don’t know what to do.”
“I’ve been itching for two weeks, so they’ve been living on me for two weeks,” Mollen added.
Mollen’s solution was to wrap a clear plastic bag around her head for the trip — but followers in her comments were appalled she would put others at risk by catching a flight with untreated lice.
“Wow. Are you kidding me? You got on a plane with lice?” one concerned user reacted to the post.
“That’s disgusting. You’re going to spread that all over the plane,” a second grossed-out person commented. “You should be ashamed of yourself and your [sic] doing a video laughing about it.🤮🤮🤮.”
“Well I certainly would not be on a plane with untreated lice announcing it . Not cool,” a third person echoed.
“Could you imagine paying for first class to get lice? I’m shook,” another person wrote.
The 45-year-old mom of two was also called “entitled and gross.”
Mollen later responded to fans’ disgust over the situation in a second video documenting her at-home lice treatment.
The “Crazy, Stupid, Love” actress claimed she did not know she was infected until she was already seated on the plane.Â
“I thought that I was going into pre-menopause,” she explained.
She also accused Biggs of not thoroughly checking her hair when they first suspected the problem.Â
The “Orange Is the New Black” actor, 46, also had lice, but not as severely as his wife. Their sons, Sid, 10, and Lazlo, 7, were infected as well.
Mollen said seven people were treated in her home after the flight.
Page Six reached out to reps for both her and Biggs for comment.
