“The other day — my publicist would absolutely kill me if I brought this up,” Hilary told Romper while recounting the story. “There was this huge story that came out because my friend Molly [Bernard] was in the backseat of our car with Banks without her carseat. It’s not like I’m driving on the 405 with my kids in the backseat without a car seat. You have no context. You don’t know where I am.”

“Do you know how many times I let my kids sit on my front seat once we get [close to our driveway] to pretend like they’re driving home? You’re telling me you’ve never put your kid in the backseat to drive a block before with an adult back there? I’m like, ‘Happy new year to you, too,’” Hilary added. You can see the video in question on Molly‘s Instagram account.
