Jenny Mollen Claps Back at the Great Lice-Gate Scandal of 2024

Buy Me A Coffee

Jenny Mollen has officially broken her silence on the most buzzworthy (or itch-worthy?) scandal to hit Instagram since the great “avocado toast or nah” debate. Yes, weโ€™re talking about Head Lice-gate, where Jenny boldly shared her scalp drama with the world โ€” and some people had feelings.

Letโ€™s rewind: On October 29, Jenny, the 45-year-old author of City of Likes (and professional oversharer, apparently), took to Instagram with a head-scratching revelation. What started as an itch she chalked up to “perimenopause symptoms” turned out to be… drumroll… lice! And not just any lice โ€” a thriving colony.

In a video featuring Jenny rocking a chic plastic-bag headpiece (the Fall 2024 Lice Couture Collection?), her friend confirmed the uninvited guests on her scalp. Jennyโ€™s reaction? โ€œI have fโ€“king lice, and honestly, I think I know who gave it to me.โ€ She didnโ€™t name names, but you know thereโ€™s someone out there feeling itchy right now.

Jenny was visibly horrified. โ€œIโ€™ve never had lice in my life,โ€ she lamented. โ€œIโ€™ve been itching for two weeks. So theyโ€™ve been living on me for two weeks.โ€ Two weeks! Long enough for those lice to apply for residency.

Naturally, Instagram had thoughts. Critics came out swinging in the comments like, โ€œWhy are you on a plane with lice?????โ€ and โ€œGirl, maybe skip the in-flight peanuts next time if youโ€™re bringing a scalp circus.โ€ Others were very clear that public lice announcements are not cool.

Fast forward to November 14: Jenny returned to Instagram Stories to clear the air (and, presumably, her scalp). โ€œWho would willingly sit with lice on their head for a five-hour flight if they knew they had lice before boarding!?!?โ€ she wrote, sprinkling a bit of righteous indignation. According to Jenny, she didnโ€™t discover the lice until a late-night head-check post-flight. So, no, she wasnโ€™t the itchy villain of your nightmares; just an oblivious host.

But wait โ€” thereโ€™s more. The lice drama didnโ€™t end with Jenny. The next day, she shared an update revealing the entire Mollen-Biggs household was, well, crawling with company.

โ€œI had an infestation,โ€ Jenny admitted. โ€œSid [her 10-year-old] had an infestation. Lazlo [her 7-year-old] had an infestation. Jason [Biggs, her husband] had, like, two eggs.โ€ TWO EGGS, JASON? Oh, the privilege.

Jenny, however, wasnโ€™t letting her husband off the hook. โ€œLetโ€™s just blame my husband for not looking closely enough at my head,โ€ she declared. According to her, Jasonโ€™s response when asked if she had lice was a casual, โ€œNo.โ€

Jenny may be the first person to turn head lice into a family-wide conspiracy theory. And to those who judged her for flying unknowingly with a tiny insect rave on her scalp? Well, sheโ€™s not here for it. Lesson learned: Next time Jenny boards a plane, sheโ€™ll probably pack more than travel-sized shampoo.
