Jenny Mollen, actress and wife of Jason Biggs, faced backlash after revealing she flew on a five-hour flight with untreated lice. In an Instagram video, Mollen shared her surprise and humor after discovering the lice while already on the plane, claiming she had been itching for two weeks without realizing the cause. Her lighthearted approach angered many, with fans calling her actions irresponsible, particularly due to the close quarters on airplanes where lice can easily spread.
In response, Mollen clarified that she didn’t know she had lice until she was on the flight and later treated her entire household. Despite this, many still criticized her for not acting sooner and exposing others to potential risk. The incident sparked a conversation about public health responsibilities, especially in confined spaces like airplanes, and the role of social media in sharing personal health issues. The controversy highlights the importance of acting responsibly when dealing with health issues in public and the need for caution when posting about personal struggles online.
