So much for that Olivia Munn hex on Aaron Rodgers.
The actress was on the defensive last week after ESPN writer Rob Demovsky listed her as a possible reason for her boyfriend's struggles on the field in the last couple of weeks. Well, put the debate to bed because Rodgers and the Packers are back.
Olivia Munn Accuses Media Of Validating Internet Trolls
Green Bay had lost three straight games, including an excruciating 18-16 loss to Detroit last week, leading to Demovsky speculating as to five reasons for why the four-time Pro Bowler was struggling. The "Newsroom" star took particular exception to one of the reasons the author wrote:
"Possible off-field issues?: A longtime NFL agent told me recently that when he sees one of his top-performing clients play differently, as Rodgers has of late, the first thing he wonders is if something is going on in his personal life. There's no indication that Rodgers' relationship status has changed. Lions reporters said they spotted Rodgers' girlfriend, actress Olivia Munn, at Lambeau Field on Sunday. Sometimes it's easy to forget that professional athletes have lives away from the field, and you never know what could be going on in their personal lives."
Rob Ryan Victim Of Mike Ditka Coach
Munn went in on the writer on Twitter and it appears any spell the beautiful actress had over Rodgers was broken Sunday. The Packers handed the Vikings a 30-13 loss in Minnesota to surge back into first place in the NFC North.
Playing it fast & loose w/the journalism @RobDemovsky. Your professional skills are lacking... you must be having personal problems at home.

Rodgers in particular had a big game, throwing for 212 yards and two touchdowns without throwing any picks. The Super Bowl XLV champion found Randall Cobb for a 10-yard score in the second quarter and then hooked up with James Jones on a 27-yard pass in the fourth. It seems the victory and performance by Rodgers should exonerate Munn of any blame for the three-game skid. Even country singer Brad Paisley has the actresses' back:
GREAT job with the @packers game plan today, @oliviamunn. — Brad Paisley (@BradPaisley) November 23, 2015
The Packers now have quick turnaround with a Thanksgiving showdown against the rival Bears on Thursday, so it's a good thing the jinx has been lifted.
