Summary
Jenny Mollen is doing damage control following a controversial post showing her intertwined with her 12-year-old son on the bed, with her in-between his legs; the original caption saying the “eldest son is the most toxic relationship of your life.” While Mollen took the caption down, her essay she posted days ago is making headlines as well. Mollen is in the middle of divorcing actor Jason Biggs of “American Pie” fame and penned an essay with the first line reading: “Call me old-fashioned, but I only want my sons to marry women with dead mothers” and ending with “I pray that at least one of them is gay.”
