The Siblings Have A Brother Brad
Jenny Mollen has a half-brother named Brad Mollen. Samantha and her brother Brad’s love for their father ties them together, aside from the same body dysmorphia and overanalyzing tendencies.
Circa 2017, her brother Brad landed himself in a hospital due to a significant health crisis which the actress revealed in a personal essay published by Marie Claire.
After hospitalization, doctors discovered a racquetball-sized tumor on his left atrial valve. Although the cancer was noncancerous, it had caught secondary staph infection. He had suffered 11-15 mini-strokes during that time.
Post the tumor removal surgery, Brad woke up with temporary paralysis on his left side and was put on a feeding tube. But the wrongly placed feeding tube had him undergo an emergency laparoscopy, and he was later left for ICU after being unresponsive.
“All I can do is wait, hope for a miracle, and pray the moment comes when he sits up and thanks me for maintaining his Invisalign,” said the actress on her brother’s health.
