Olivia Munn Rejects $1 Million Offer After Traumatic On-Set Experience!

Olivia Munn is opening up about a harrowing experience she once had on set.

As a seasoned lifestyle guide, I’d like to share a personal experience that underscores the importance of safety and professionalism in our industry. In my past, while working on a film set, I encountered an incident that was deeply distressing. Certain actions were taken against me that were clearly unacceptable. I felt compelled to bring this matter to the attention of the studio, emphasizing the need for such behavior to never be tolerated in our line of work.

On the February 18th episode of Monica Lewinsky’s podcast Reclaiming, Munn stated that she had to lodge complaints with the studio, along with several other minor issues. Eventually, the situation escalated to a point where Munn was offered a substantial sum of money. She mentioned, “Seven figures were on the table for me to accept their apology and them acknowledging their wrongdoing, but it came with a Non-Disclosure Agreement.

The actress from the movie “X-Men: Apocalypse” spoke up, without specifying which film the event occurred in, stating that she had chosen not to disclose details publicly because she wanted to leave the incident behind. Consequently, she declined to discuss “particular aspects” of the occurrence with Lewinsky. However, she found it impossible to put her signature on a Non-Disclosure Agreement.

Munn expressed that she strongly felt it was unjust then, and this sentiment arose during the early stages of the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements.

She went on to say, “This situation reminded me of the Harvey Weinstein scandal, which marked a turning point. It was during this era when people were criticizing anyone who had signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), saying ‘You’re only speaking up for the money.’ So, I was worried that sharing my voice might undermine the credibility of what I had to say.

Munn, who is mother to three-year-old son Malcolm Mulaney and five-month-old daughter Méi Mulaney with husband John Mulaney, expressed her reservations about signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) due to the concern that the unknown film studio might disclose the information.

In a turn of events, the actress from Buddy Games attended discussions with lawyers representing differing viewpoints about an issue she was involved in. However, instead of accepting the proposed settlement, she chose to follow her instincts and declined the offer.

Leaving that place,” she added, “I had a strong sense of pride wash over me, a pride for my own accomplishments.

Since then, the actress has been reflecting on the reasons behind her choice and trying to trace the source of her intuition that led to it.

In a candid moment, I expressed my sentiments, saying, “What I received felt like an impulsive decision without proper consideration. It left me feeling angry and frustrated beyond words. To be honest, I didn’t even consider negotiating or any other options; all I could focus on was the disrespect I perceived in the offer.

Instead, she might reflect a bit more on her decision before reaching the same conclusion next time.

She pondered, “Did I act correctly, and do those around me believe I did the right thing and feel proud of me for it? Yes.” What she realized was, “Even if I would have arrived at the same decision, it’s that I made it out of anger, which is something I needed to learn to control and utilize constructively.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m always championing for fairness and justice, both on and off the screen. In 2018, when I found out about an unsettling situation involving my film “Predator,” I didn’t hesitate to take action. I bravely spoke up against Steven Wilder Striegel’s inclusion in the movie, after learning he was a registered sex offender. Thanks to my advocacy efforts, 20th Century Fox ultimately decided to remove the scene featuring him from the film.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, she expressed a sense of being unfairly implicated, as Striegel served time for his crimes. She clarified that she was not the one who sent him to jail or allowed him on set. Instead, she had a particular scene featuring him removed.
