Jenny Mollen Addresses Those Photos of Her Embracing Son Sid in Bed, Explains That Controversial 'Toxic Boyfriend' Caption - Just Jared - Celebrity News and Gossip

Jenny Mollen is responding to the controversy surrounding photos she posted with her son last month.

If you did not see, the 47-year-old shared images of her and her 12-year-old child Sid embracing in a bed. Jenny shares Sid and son Lazlo, 8, with Jason Biggs.

Jenny first spoke out about the “child molester” label she was given

In her The Best Friend Experience post, Jenny explained, “Last week, the internet called me a child molester for posting a photo of myself holding my son,” adding that what “strangers saw as scandal, I saw as grief.” The photos were apparently taken after Sid was away for a weekend.

“There’s something devastating about realizing your child can survive without you, that they can be content somewhere else,” she continued. “Loving a child is a vomit-inducing free fall, and I’ve spent the last twelve years writing about it.”

She then addressed the “toxic boyfriend” caption

“The joke that offended people was, ‘Your eldest son will be the most toxic boyfriend you ever have,'” she wrote.

Jenny added, “And he is. Parenthood has demanded a level of commitment and self-sacrifice from me that, in any other context, would be considered pathological. I’d never accept this kind of relationship under any other circumstances. And yet here I am, jumping through fire, constantly striving for affection and approval, waiting by the phone for a guy who can’t even drive.”

Jenny Mollen also revealed what she sees when she looks at those photos

“When I look at that picture, I see a 12-year-old boy who still wants his mother, and a woman trying to hold on to closeness and connection at a time in her life when everything else is changing,” she shared.

She added, “I spent the last decade begging for five minutes alone, only to get exactly what I asked for. And it has broken my heart. It will break your heart, too.”

She then said, “Don’t let anyone shame you for holding on while you still can.”

Jenny Mollen and Jason Biggs are separated

Last month, a rep confirmed to Just Jared that they had split after 18 years.
