Trolls and fans can come at Olivia Munn all they want, but she draws the line at the media.
When her boyfriend Aaron Rodgers and the Packers struggled earlier this season, some fans placed the blame on the former "Newsroom" star's shoulders. The media then took the story and ran with it, drawing the ire of Munn.
Aaron Rodgers Has Made Quite The Impression On Olivia Munn's Mom
"I think fans should be able to say what they want," Munn said on Opie Radio. "You can't be in the public position and then cry about everybody who says something. But, when you have news organizations, the ones that were built by the trust of the public, the ones that you expect to have some accountability, that aren't just reprocessing whatever, if you want to come after me, you better be sure."
Munn said outlets such as the Washington Post and Fox Sports picked up on the story, which originated from a random fan's forum post, and "threw me into this." She also touched on the ESPN report that speculated on possible problems in her relationship with Rodgers possibly impacting him negatively on the field.
Aaron Rodgers Had One Of The Best Weeks Ever
The actress pointed out that there is a bit of sexism from fans and the media.
"If 'Ride Along 2' doesn't do well, they don't go after the guys," Munn said. "Yet if he does well, it's him and his team and everybody else."
Munn said she took it upon herself to see who the forum user was and she discovered he was a biggot and a racist. The actress scolded the media for not doing their homework.
In the end, Munn had a point, she has no bearing on what happens when the Packers take the field. Green Bay plays next against Arizona on Saturday.
"I have nothing to do with their wins or their losses," Munn said. "The actual teams, they take all the credit and all the blame. It's their job."
