If she wanted to find a sympathetic audience, this actor and podcaster was sorely disappointed.
A lot ofcelebritiesare somewhat out of touch with reality . It make good sense in some ways . When you reach a certain point of wealth or celebrity , you arrest get the world like the rest of us . Regardless , there are a few hard and fast rules for being a mortal that enforce to everyone ; for example , you should not get on a commercial-grade flight with headlice .
And , if , by some unfortunate series of events , you do terminate up on an plane with little bugs salvage through your hair follicle , you keep that tale in the group chat and not the entire internet . Well , Jenny Mollen , an actor and podcastermarried to actor Jason Biggs , broke these rules .
A few workweek ago , Mollen was trip when she claims her teen girl discovered mid - flying that Mollen had head lice . In the video , she detailed that she had been itching for two calendar week but had attribute the ceaseless head - scratching to perimenopause , not lice . According to theCenters for Disease Control and Prevention , she could have had the infection for up to six weeks before she began itching , meaning Mollen could have had louse for eight week by the time she room the flight of steps .

Once she realized this , she covered her head with a small plastic bag , presumptively to forbid the biting louse from spreading to other rider . The cup of tea used in this late - in - game attack to block up any spread initially held sanitised earpiece , so it probably did a stinking job get over her whole oral sex .
The CDC says that louse typically spread through wearing clothing or headwear bear by another person infected with lice , using infested combs , brushes , or towels , or lie on a bed , couch , pillow , or carpeting that has been in contact with an infected person . With this information , resting your head against a plane seat when the previous passenger had lice could lead to catching it yourself .
People were disgusted because she detail this entire trial by ordeal on Instagram in a video she clearly film while she was still on the flight . Comments on the original video are off now , but naturally , Mollen has keep on to stake about the reaction to her original post . " The world is on fervour , but me finding out I had louse while stuck on an plane ( two week ago ) is A TOP STORY , " she compose in a follow - up Instagram Emily Post .
" It IS disgusting and it should have been kept to yourself , " one commenter answer .
While I do n’t think a celebrity lice spreader should be front - page news , I do believe decide to post a video about your pass insect on an airplane is disorderly enough to merit coverage . Why would you share that information with the internet ? What about this felt like selective information anyone other than the flight tender needed to know ? Did you really not realize you had lice before the flight ? If you do n’t want the attention you generated by informing the public that you travel for a five - hour flight with plant louse , why not delete the video ?
As another commenter wrote below one of her survey - up videos , " All PR is unspoiled PR . " Sure . But now my promontory wo n’t barricade itching , and I ’m reading the entireCDC web Thomas Nelson Page on treating liceand wondering how frequently citizenry with lice travel on flights .
