In a recent exchange on social media, actress Jennifer Lee showcased her trademark humor and grace when confronted by a troll. Known for her relatable and down-to-earth demeanor, Jennifer often comes across as someone you could easily befriend. Juggling life as a single mom to three children, aged 7 to 14, she certainly has her hands full. So when a follower left a snarky remark on one of her posts, she responded in a way that only Jennifer could.
Jennifer had shared a delightful behind-the-scenes clip from her local production of The Nutcracker, where she enthusiastically participated in various roles—from applying makeup to helping with choreography. In her post, she expressed her excitement for the show and encouraged others to check it out, especially for those in Southern California, mentioning that there were still shows available. However, one user decided to throw shade with a comment that read, “What do you call a movie star who makes no movies?”
Jennifer’s reply was both clever and lighthearted: “A mom!” The 47-year-old actress has been co-parenting her children with her ex-husband, Mike Foster, since their separation in 2018. Despite the negativity, it’s worth noting that Jennifer is actively working on a Netflix comedy titled Yes Day, inspired by the popular children’s book by Amy Krouse Rosenthal.
Earlier this year, Jennifer shared her journey of balancing motherhood and her acting career with renowned journalist Lisa Stone. “In the beginning, it was about taking any role that came my way,” she explained, reminiscing about her early acting days. “Then it shifted to finding projects that would fit into my schedule while also surprising myself creatively. Now, it revolves around my kids’ needs, making sure I can be there for them while pursuing my passion.”
Like many mothers, Jennifer has continually adapted her priorities, making sacrifices along the way. Kudos to her for reminding us all that managing work and family life is a complex journey, as discussed further in this other blog post.
