Mollen lay her head next to Sid&#8217;s on the sheets, with both of their faces covered as she cuddled her son.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">A second photo then showed the writer again lying on top of her son, still with her hands behind his head. Sid then linked his fingers in front of his mom&#8217;s face, covering both of their faces. In the since-deleted caption, Mollen wrote, &#8220;your eldest will be the most toxic boyfriend you ever had.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Commenters criticized the star, with one saying, \u201cThis is creepy and wildly inappropriate.&#8221; Another wrote, &#8220;This is so disturbing,&#8221; while another defended her, pointing out, \u201cShe&#8217;s not doing anything wrong.
