HuffPost
The actor says she complained to the studio after things happened to her "that were really not okay."
Olivia Munn is opening up about a traumatic experience she faced on the set of a movie.
In an episode of Monica Lewinsky’s podcast, “Reclaiming,” on Tuesday, the host and her guest discussed their struggles with anxiety over the years.
“I was anxious, but I didn’t understand it was anxiousness,” Munn said. The pair agreed that “anxiety” wasn’t a word they encountered growing up, with Munn’s mother insisting on describing Munn’s worries as her being “stubborn.” Over time, Munn realized that an “underlying part” of who she is her strong reaction to “fairness and unfairness.”
That prompted her to hint at a “traumatic” experience she had while filming.
“There [were] other things that happened on this movie set personally that were really not OK,” Munn said. “I had to file complaints with the studio, and there’s a lot of other little things that go along with it, but it got to this place where I was offered a lot of money.”
