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, we’re talking about Head Lice-gate, where Jenny boldly shared her scalp drama with the world — and some people had feelings.

Let’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 — 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. Jenny’s reaction? “I have f–king lice, and honestly, I think I know who gave it to me.” She didn’t name names, but you know there’s someone out there feeling itchy right now.

Jenny was visibly horrified. “I’ve never had lice in my life,” she lamented. “I’ve been itching for two weeks. So they’ve been living on me for two weeks.” Two weeks! Long enough for those lice to apply for residency.

Naturally, Instagram had thoughts. Critics came out swinging in the comments like, “Why are you on a plane with lice?????” and “Girl, maybe skip the in-flight peanuts next time if you’re bringing a scalp circus.” 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). “Who would willingly sit with lice on their head for a five-hour flight if they knew they had lice before boarding!?!?” she wrote, sprinkling a bit of righteous indignation. According to Jenny, she didn’t discover the lice until a late-night head-check post-flight. So, no, she wasn’t the itchy villain of your nightmares; just an oblivious host.

But wait — there’s more. The lice drama didn’t end with Jenny. The next day, she shared an update revealing the entire Mollen-Biggs household was, well, crawling with company.

“I had an infestation,” Jenny admitted. “Sid [her 10-year-old] had an infestation. Lazlo [her 7-year-old] had an infestation. Jason [Biggs, her husband] had, like, two eggs.” TWO EGGS, JASON? Oh, the privilege.

Jenny, however, wasn’t letting her husband off the hook. “Let’s just blame my husband for not looking closely enough at my head,” she declared. According to her, Jason’s response when asked if she had lice was a casual, “No.”

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, she’s not here for it. Lesson learned: Next time Jenny boards a plane, she’ll probably pack more than travel-sized shampoo.
