<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Actress Olivia Munn is complaining that a male co-star objected to a scene in which her character saves his, leading to a dispute on set. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 45-year-old ranted about the unnamed colleague during a recent appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“There have been a few times where I’ve been filming something, and my character was either like CIA, or a cop, or something, and there’s been scenes where my character has been the one to save the other character,” Munn told the talk show host, noting that the scene involved her and the co-star fighting side by side in a bunker. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“If you read the script, it was that he was guarding his side, I was guarding my side, then we switch sides and then there’s a guy that was coming for him who was gonna shoot him in the back, so I shoot him,” she went on. “And then we’re about to shoot and, somehow, I guess he didn’t read the script, and in that moment, he realized, ‘Wait, wait, wait. Hold on. She can’t save me. No, no. She can’t save me.’”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Munn claimed that her colleague was “combative with the director” and held up production for close to an hour. The actress lamented that he had “no insecurity about being obnoxious and everyone hearing this and being like, ‘She can’t save me! We’re not doing this.’”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Finally, after like 45 minutes of just stopping down, I said, ‘OK, how about instead of my character saving you, it’s just that we switch because it’s time for us to switch and so this is my guy to get,’” she told Barrymore. “And he was like, ‘OK.’”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Online commenters called out Munn for her complaints, criticizing what they view as a double standard in Hollywood.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“So it’s totally cool for a woman to feel like she doesn’t need to be saved by a man, but it’s bad if a man thinks he doesn’t need to be saved by a woman? Did I get that right?” one popular reaction </span><a href="https://x.com/Variety/status/2042056151936987227"><span style="font-weight: 400;">said</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“And if Olivia Munn refused to be ‘damseled’ in a scene, you bet your bippy it would be a tale of female empowerment,” another </span><a href="https://x.com/Scribe_Light/status/2042056424440918201"><span style="font-weight: 400;">agreed</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Many commenters called Munn out for not naming names, leading them to question the story entirely.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Calling out colleagues without naming them has become a bit of a pattern for the “X-Men: Apocalypse” star. Last summer, she <a href="https://variety.com/2025/film/news/olivia-munn-male-director-ruin-career-1236445139/">complained about</a> a director she worked with on HBO’s “The Newsroom” who she claimed tried to sabotage her.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I was on the one-yard line for the movie, and my manager calls me and says, ‘Hey, you’re gonna get the role. But first, I guess there’s another director who they know and he says that on “The Newsroom” you were late all the time and really combative,’” Munn said at the time. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I lived seven minutes from there. I was never late. I was like, ‘I know who this is.’ He just was trying to bash me. And I told my reps, ‘Please tell the directors this.’ And then I still got the role. But I will always remember that just because of our conflicts of how we approached a role, he wanted to ruin my chances of getting anything else.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’m posting this for all the parents who thought it would be great to take advantage of the beautiful weather and took their toddler on a walk only for them to lie down screaming on the floor of Whole Foods, run through the aisles of CVS screaming ‘I don’t like anyone!!’ and knocked over your iced tea before your first sip, all while carrying your 7-month-old strapped to your body,” Munn continued.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“After all of that, he insisted on walking home without his shoes,” she wriote. “And in a moment which I can only describe as total exhaustion, I said okay. So we walked over a mile home with only socks… through every street in NY.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The actress concluded, “This Easter Monday will live in infamy in my memory as the day I tried my absolute best, got us home without another tantrum and learned that the rubber padding on toddler socks can only take so much. Cheers to anyone else who went through this today or any other day. You have my utmost respect.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The post led to a ton of both positive and negative comments, with some parents expressing their disgust and horror at letting a young child do something so dangerous. Others stood up in solidarity with Munn and shared toddler tantrum stories of their own.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“But you make it sound like you were alone dealing with this situation — so who was on hand to take the photo? Sort of detracts from the entire story if you had another set of hands to help the entire time,” one commenter noted.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Who is taking your photo but not helping you?!” another person echoed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Letting your child be exposed to disgusting dirt and whatever else is on their streets including sharp objects&#8230; really stupid idea,” said a third.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another wrote, “THAT is why gentle parenting tactics are garbage. At some point it&#8217;s time to lay down the law. Who is parenting whom?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’ve been there. Children really know how to help us evolve,” another person replied.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Love this post ! We have ALL BEEN THERE ! Congratulations for keeping your sanity and making home !!!” another said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Someone get this woman a ‘good mom’ bracelet,” said another commenter.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Munn addressed the incident again this week at an event. “Oh my gosh, the other day, I was walking on that same street and I ran into some women who wanted to say &#8216;Hi&#8217; to my little baby,” Munn told <a href="https://people.com/olivia-munn-reveals-parents-reaction-photo-son-without-shoes-exclusive-11723923">People</a> while attending An Unforgettable Evening Benefiting the Women’s Cancer Research Fund in Los Angeles on Monday.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“And I just started crying. I was like, it&#8217;s just so hard. And they were very sweet,&#8221; she said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Munn and Mulaney have a 3-year-old son, Malcolm, and a 7-month-old daughter, Méi June.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Actress </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/olivia-munn"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Olivia Munn</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> discussed how she froze her eggs for the third time following a </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/cancer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">cancer</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> diagnosis.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 43-year-old “X-Men: Apocalypse” </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities"><span style="font-weight: 400;">star</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> has been in a relationship with comedian John Mulaney since 2021 and shares a son with him. Munn <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/olivia-munn-reveals-breast-cancer-diagnosis">revealed</a> in March that she had been diagnosed with &#8220;aggressive, fast moving&#8221; breast cancer last year and had undergone four surgeries including a double mastectomy.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The actress said during an interview with </span><a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/olivia-munn-exclusive-interview-vogue"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Vogue</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that she had her eggs frozen for the third time in hopes of having more children despite having a full hysterectomy. She previously had the procedure at 33, 39, and again, most recently, at 42.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It&#8217;s interesting because my 33-year-old eggs were great. My 39-year-old eggs? None of them worked,&#8221; Munn told the outlet. &#8220;As you get older, one month can have great eggs, the other not so much.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Clearly, the month we did at 39 was not a good month,” she added. “After my diagnosis, we decided to try one more round of egg retrievals and hoped it was a good month. John and I talked about it a lot and we don&#8217;t feel like we&#8217;re done growing our family, but didn&#8217;t know if I would have to do chemotherapy or radiation.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We just wanted a few more eggs,” Munn said during the Vogue interview. “At my age, one in every 10 eggs are healthy, and we were hoping to make one embryo from this retrieval.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;A few hours later, we got the call from my doctor. He shared that we had two healthy embryos,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;John and I just started crying. It was just so exciting because not only did we get it in one retrieval, but it also meant that I didn&#8217;t have to keep putting myself at risk. It was just amazing.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Because she had a hysterectomy, Munn also discussed how she would need to use a surrogate gestational carrier to have any more biological children.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“When you&#8217;re pregnant with your own baby, it’s like teamwork—you and the baby working together to make their little life come true,” she told Vogue. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“You’re doing all this work to eat well, try to not have anxiety, just do all the right things during the pregnancy. With a surrogate, you have to try to go find a version of yourself somewhere out in the world. Somebody that you trust as much as yourself to live their life as a pregnant woman the same way that you would. But a surrogate isn’t a scary prospect to me anymore because there’s nothing I can do.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Munn added, “I don’t have the ability to carry a baby anymore, so if we want to build our family, this is our option. This journey has made me realize how grateful I am to have options for not only fighting cancer, but also having more children if we want, because I know a lot of people don’t have those options.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;In the past ten months, I have had four surgeries, so many days spent in bed I can&#8217;t even count …surprisingly, I&#8217;ve only cried twice,&#8221; Munn wrote. &#8220;I guess I haven&#8217;t felt like there was time to cry.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I&#8217;ve tended to let people see me when I have energy, when I can get dressed and get out of the house, when I can take my baby boy to the park,&#8221; Munn continued. &#8220;I&#8217;ve kept the diagnosis and the worry and the recovery and the pain medicine and the paper gowns private. I needed to catch my breath and get through some of the hardest parts before sharing.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8216;The Newsroom&#8217; star said her doctor decided to calculate her &#8220;Breast Cancer Risk Assessment&#8221; score, something that she said saved her life. That resulted in her getting an MRI, which led to an ultrasound, followed by a biopsy.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;The biopsy showed I had a Luminal B cancer in both breasts,&#8221; she wrote, adding that it was an &#8220;aggressive, fast moving cancer.&#8221;</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Munn said she had a double mastectomy and feels so &#8220;lucky&#8221; they &#8220;caught it with enough time that I had options.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I&#8217;m so thankful to my friends and family for loving me through this,&#8221; she added.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She also encouraged women to ask their &#8220;</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">doctor to calculate your Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Score.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Munn and comedian John Mulaney have been together since 2021. The couple welcomed son Malcolm into the world in November that year.</span></p>
