Jason Biggs' ex Jenny Mollen says she wants her sons to marry women with 'dead mothers' in 'mind f**k' boy mom essay

Jenny Mollen has admitted that she only wants her sons to marry women with 'dead mothers' in a controversial new essay.

The 47-year-old American actress and writer shares two boys, 12-year-old Sid and eight-year-old Lazlo, with her ex, Jason Biggs, 48.

The pair tied the knot back in 2008, but their split was confirmed last month (14 May) by Page Six.

"They are very much connected," a source said, speaking of the pair who are co-parenting their children. "I have no doubt that they will remain on excellent terms."

Mollen recently came under fire after sharing two snaps of her and Sid along with the now-deleted caption, which read: "Your eldest son will be the most toxic guy you ever date."

A source close to the mum-of-two has reportedly since addressed the outrage over what critics dubbed a 'deeply disturbing' post, telling TMZ: "The picture is nothing more than a mother hugging her 12-year-old son.

"Anyone inferring anything else should be ashamed of themselves."

In a Substack published last month (10 May), titled 'Please. Stay. I want you. I need you. Oh, God', Mollen opened up to her 35k followers about the latest update in her motherhood journey.

She began the short essay: "Call me old-fashioned, but I only want my sons to marry women with dead mothers. It’s my only shot at staying relevant, of seeming useful, and of winning by comparison.

"Having boys is a mind f*ck. It builds you up, only to tear you apart."

Explaining that she's not a stay-at-home mum, Mollen revealed that she used to find it 'insane' when her mother-in-law 'fell apart' when Biggs told her he was getting married

"Now, I understand it had nothing to do with my cat allergy or whether or not I touched her lasagna. I was eating her son, straight out of the fridge, without even asking for a plate," she reflected.

Continuing the essay, Mollen explained that 'not long ago', her children still needed her for help with everything, but feared that she would 'eventually' lose them as they grew up.

Referring to her sons as 'emotional vampires', which she said were 'the most emotionally high-maintenance men' she had ever dated growing up, the comedian admitted: "When I was young, I was every mother’s nightmare.

"I dismantled boys by accident, I destroyed their lives, wrote about it extensively, then got personally offended when they no longer wanted to be my friend. I said, 'I love you,' when I didn’t mean it. I sometimes kissed people just to make them go away. I’ve never been broken up with. I've never been into someone who wasn’t just slightly more into me."

Mollen feared that 'karma' was now going to 'make her pay', theorising: "Most likely in the form of some crazy b*tch who is going to weaponise my flaws in therapy and melt all my jewellery. "Her mom will be the one to watch the grandkids and join them for family vacations. I’ll be the lonely old woman wandering the Grove on Fairfax, waiting for my five pm table for one at the f*cking Marmalade cafe."

The writer went on to detail an anecdote which took place 'several months ago'.

"My eldest was texting with a girl, she was twelve, but I could already tell my brand of toxic. She was bossing him around and using big words, and he was utterly spun," Mollen recalled. "I complained to Jason that I wanted to intervene before he got hurt and that she wasn’t even hotter than me.

"But Jason insisted I let him make his own mistakes. And objectively, he’s right. But as a mother, you want to shield and protect and fiercely defend the thing you’ve devoted your life to shaping."

Adding that motherhood 'will trigger even the most well-adjusted of women', Mollen continued: "The abandonment we eventually endure as boy moms is uniquely cruel because it begins as worship. They arrive obsessed. Dependent. Adoring. They think we’re magic. We think we are magic.

"We spend years being the centre of their emotional world, only to slowly watch them build one without us."

Resolving that she is 'living through the longest goodbye of my life' with her sons, Mollen concluded the Substack writing: "I pray that at least one of them is gay."
