Olivia Munn recently revealed on Monica Lewinsky’s podcast, “Reclaiming,” that she rejected a financial settlement of “seven figures” from a movie studio after a “traumatic” incident that occurred on a film set. Despite being offered a significant sum in exchange for an NDA and an apology, Munn refused to accept the deal due to moral concerns and the beginning of the MeToo/TimesUp movement.
Munn expressed her concerns about the contents of the NDA and the impact on her voice amid the changing landscape of Hollywood during the Harvey Weinstein reckoning. She decided to trust her instincts and walked away from the offer, feeling proud of her decision. Munn’s emotional response to the situation guided her choice to reject the offer, despite the influence of anger.
This is not the first time Munn has spoken out about troubling on-set experiences. In 2018, she successfully pushed for a scene to be removed from the movie “The Predator” after discovering that the actor in the scene was a registered sex offender. Munn’s actions reflect a commitment to standing up against injustices and navigating difficult situations with integrity.
In her podcast appearance, Munn emphasized the importance of using anger constructively and learning to rein it in for her benefit. While she acknowledged that her emotions influenced her decision-making process, she stood by her choice and the support of the people in her life. Olivia Munn’s story highlights the complexities of navigating career challenges and personal values in the entertainment industry.
