  1. TLDR:

    * The actress and author, 45, first detailed the incident in a video shared to [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DBtyCT0OSpJ/) on Tuesday, Oct. 29, in which she can be seen with a plastic bag on her head. She appears to be sitting in first class while on her flight from Los Angeles to New York City. 
    * “I’m on a plane with Caroline, and she just looked at my head,” [she begins in the video](https://people.com/jenny-mollen-lice-on-airplane-claims-she-didn-t-know-she-had-it-8746217), referring to her travel companion who’s seated beside her. “And remember when I told you last week that I said my head was itchy and I thought I was having perimenopause symptoms?” Bringing the camera closer to her face, she continues, “Guess what? I have f—ing lice.” 
    * Mollen, who is married to Orange is the New Black and American Pie actor [Jason Biggs](https://people.com/jenny-mollen-lice-on-airplane-claims-she-didn-t-know-she-had-it-8746217), received a number of comments criticizing her actions documented in the clip.

  2. If you have lice, why wouldn’t you immediately take care of it. That’s so disgusting to walk around with little invertebrates in your hair. Wow.

    Apparently she found out when she was on the plane already tho.

  4. Not only is that fucked up, but why wouldn’t you put the shower cap *properly* over your head 😭 so much of her hair is out

  6. If you’re going to be a trash human, maybe don’t post about it

  7. Itch your scalp while reading this? Reply here 👇

  8. Unrelated but her seats are nicer than anything I’ve ever had while flying.

  10. It takes an hour to sort out, scum bag. People have no consideration for others anymore

  11. People are forgetting, she’s a celebrity, and they tend to harbor a better class of vermin than you or I might.

    Those people sitting around her should be thankful that they were infected with such high quality parasites.

    Edit: spelling.

  12. What airline and what flight, People? Trashy clickbait without the info that matters.

  14. Every month is lice awareness month!

    No but really. We had a neighbor that was less than efficient at removing her children’s lice so we got it back to back a couple times. I tried all the poisons and medicines but the thing that worked the best was good old-fashioned simple coconut oil and a shower cap. You can blow dry the outside of the cap and make it hot if you want. The longer you keep the oil in the more it softens the lice’s exoskeleton and your hair and the best part is that it easily rinses out in warm water in the shower, nits and all. We never had a problem again after that. This lady is a jerk!

  15. I got 2 times on overseas flights. I always check out the headrest now.

  17. I understand she found out after she was on the plane, but why would you share this online?

  18. I know way too much about Jenny Mollen and I do not follow this woman or seek her out

  19. Let’s all read the headline and make comments based on that and not read the article! She didn’t know she had lice when she boarded the plane. Kind of changes the context here.

  20. Okay I’ve been noticing some type of influencer brain rot happening lately. A lot of people who become influencers seem genuinely addicted to showing every single private thing that happens in their life even when it’s completely inappropriate to share.

  21. I guess she believes the saying about there being no bad publicity

  22. I always though Jason Biggs was slightly gross and crusty. This confirms it. Birds of a feather have fleas together.

  23. Hey, it’s the Werewolf Girl from Angel! Should probably check her for ticks, too.

  28. I mean I have super dark hair and when my daughter got lice I asked my husband to check and he did and said “no lice”. I had lice. If she believed her husband I get it…

  29. If that’s not disgusting, we can just stop using the word entirely.

  30. Gross!

    Flying first class with lice, how entitled

    Or if she doesn’t know it’s lice, maybe that’s a valid excuse but why would you want to admit it to public and while flying first class???

  31. That’s gross. Who the hell is Jenny Mollen?

    Nevermind I don’t care.

  32. You could not have waterboarded this information out of me.

  33. Wait until you find out school districts now say coming to school with lice is fine….

    Crazy what is now okey dokey

  35. Am I the only one who has NO IDEA who Jenny Mollen is?!

  38. I hate that this headline assumes everyone knows who the hell Jenny Mollen is.

  39. Lice jump. They can transfer so easily from 1 person to another. Everything she touched needs to be treated.
