Jenny Mollen Jokes Son Is 'Really The Predator' After Intimate Bed Photo Backlash

Jenny Mollen doubled down on her controversial intimate photos with her eldest son.

The author joked that her son Sid was "really the predator," as she sat down with host Amanda Hirsch for the "Not Skinny But Not Fat" podcast on Tuesday.

The Instagram post showed Mollen's son covering their faces with his hands as they shared an intimate moment. The author captioned the photo, "Your eldest son will be the most toxic man you ever date."

The images sparked outrage on social media, with many users accusing the mom of crossing boundaries and criticizing the post as inappropriate.

A user commented on her photo, writing, "Hugging your kids: Healthy and encouraged. Calling your child your boyfriend and posting photos of you lying between their legs on a bed: Not healthy or encouraged. Your child is not your boyfriend. A boyfriend is a romantic partner."

Another user asked Mollen to reflect on what her kid would think about this in a few years, "My son is almost 12 and is very attached and snuggly but girl this is weird??? This will be on the internet forever. Think about how your son will feel about this in a few years."

The social media personality joked about her son wanting her attention and told Hirsch, "I’ve been trying to lock him out of the bathroom for the last 12 years. He just wants my undivided [attention]."

Mollen said her son knows about the backlash she received and teases her. "He’s like a little spider monkey on me, and I’m in trouble,” she said. “And now he’s like, 'Get away from me, you molester,' just to f--- with me," she added.

However, the actress thinks her separation from her husband Jason Biggs — whom she shares sons Sid and Lazlo with — might have played a role in making the controversy bigger than it is.

She said, "I think if I [had] made this joke a month or two months ago, it would have played differently." The writer shared that if she were already dating, things might have been different.

The mom of two explained her controversial caption, which deemed her son "toxic."

"It’s like, this is the joke I’ve been making forever,” she shared. “Like, I’m in this dysfunctional relationship with a guy who’s like, ‘Can you hold my head while I vomit into the toilet?’ ‘Can you give me a full body massage before bed?’ ‘Can you be a dear and put more ice in my water bottle?’ Like, this is the treatment."

"And I live in this autocratic regime where I have to like … it’s like, thumbs up or thumbs down. Off with my head if I f------ serve you sun-butter,” the writer shared.
