In the scene in question, Biggs's character was caught by his father (played by Eugene Levy) in an intimate moment with a pie.
Having noted that he spoke about it with his son, many social media users slammed him for doing so.
"Not appropriate for an 11-year-old to see," a person wrote, per the Daily Mail, while another added, "Seems a tad young but not shocking for a Hollywood type."
Someone else found it "gross" that the "Wedding Daze" actor thought it was a good way to tell his son about it, while another shared he did it because he "needs attention."

Jason Biggs Said The Conversation Was 'Embarrassing' For His Son
The catalyst for the father-son moment was due to an experience he witnessed firsthand when he was on a trip to New York City with his children.
He explained that a random guy "walked past us all and literally screamed out back to me, 'Hey, it's the pie f-cker,' and I looked immediately at the boys." He was, however, excited that his kids didn't hear him.
Alongside Sid, Biggs is also father to 8-year-old son Lazio, whom he shares with wife Jenny Mollen. Speaking about the conversation he had with his eldest son, he noted that it was pretty awkward, but a father's gotta do what a father has got to do.
"He was embarrassed to say it, very embarrassed, but I was like, 'Okay. Let me show you. Let me show you what happened,' and so I showed him the scene, and he laughed and laughed," the "Orange Is The New Black" actor said.
"He was a little uncomfortable for sure," Biggs admitted. "He did say I was a good actor," he added.

Back in 2017, when Sid was just about two years old, Biggs spoke about how his talk with his children about the infamous scene in "American Pie" would look like.
"I picture a scenario where it's like – I don't know what grade, hopefully a little bit older – but one of his friends can come in and be like, 'Hey, I saw your dad's p-nis on TV last night!'" Biggs joked. "That's a very real possibility for our life."
"[But] I'm glad that I have boys versus girls. I don't know how it's going to go down, but I know that no matter how it goes down, it's going to be easier having sons than it would have been having girls," he added, per People Magazine.

"Behind the scenes, as well. Especially behind the scenes," Biggs added. "But look, it'd be fun. I would love to do it. I know a lot of us would love to."
