Olivia Munn Calls Out Aaron Rodgers' Documentary, Claims It Shows A False Narrative
The 44-year-old actress spoke candidly about her ex-boyfriend while explaining why she chose not to watch his 2024 documentary, "Enigma."
Aaron Rodgers and Olivia Munn dated from 2014 to 2017, while he was still playing for the Green Bay Packers.
When reflecting on her ex's latest project, Munn didn't hold back.
"I knew what it was going to be," she said, according to Us Weekly, further revealing that she didn't feel the need to watch it because she believed the project was "going to push a narrative" that she felt "never would ring true" with her.
Munn explained that this narrative likely blamed her for any of the quarterback's struggles on the field.
"There was this narrative that took hold because, if you remember back in the day, Jessica Simpson was hung out to dry for the Cowboys failures [when she dated Tony Romo]," Munn continued. "During the time that I was with him, he had three Hail Marys, I think two NFC championships, not wins, but he made it into the NFC championship, which is very hard. No one would want to talk about that. I didn't get credit for any of the wins."
While Munn and Rodgers haven't been together for 8 years, the documentary's portrayal of their relationship seemed to stir up some old feelings for Munn. She mentioned that during their time together, Rodgers' athletic success wasn't acknowledged in the same way his failures were, which frustrated her at the time.
In addition to discussing the documentary, Munn addressed another topic that has followed her for years, the narrative surrounding Rodgers' strained family relationships.
"That had nothing to do with me," she clarified, referring to Rodgers' estrangement from his parents and his brother , who became known for appearing on "The Bachelorette."
In the episode featuring Jordan, two empty seats were conspicuously left at the family dinner table, highlighting the absence of Aaron. Jordan's comments during the show suggested a longing for reconciliation, stating, "It would have been nice to share JoJo with not only my parents and my brother Luke, but Aaron as well."
Following the airing of the episode, reports suggested that Aaron's parents disapproved of his relationship with Munn, particularly due to her public discussions about their private life.
Now, Munn explained that the speculation around her alleged role in causing the family rift was "a big thing" and that she was unfairly blamed for it.
In her latest interview, the actress emphasized, "It became this whole big thing, and people were like, 'I can't believe her, she's keeping this family apart.'" While she knows the reason behind the rift, Munn stressed, "I'm not saying because it's not my story to tell."
Munn did find solace in Rodgers' comments last year, when he publicly denied her involvement in the family tension.
"Even if people didn't want to take hold of that statement, it made me feel good that it was said," she said.
During the podcast, Munn refrained from going into further details about her past relationship with Rodgers or commenting on his recent marriage.
Earlier this month, Rodgers confirmed he wed a mystery woman named Brittani, and he has openly criticized the public's obsession with his private life.
During an appearance on ESPN's "The Pat McAfee Show" on Tuesday, June 24, Rodgers called out the public for wanting to know every little detail about his love life.
"It's a sick society, isn't it? It's a sick society," the quarterback said. "I lived in the public eye for 20 years. I had public relationships. How did that work out?"
"And now I'm with somebody who's private, who doesn't want to be in the public eye," he added. "Didn't sign up to be a celebrity. Doesn't want to be a part of it. Because I do things in private, because I want my personal life to be private, now I'm weird."
Meanwhile, Munn is happily married to comedian John Mulaney, with the couple approaching their first wedding anniversary. The pair shares two children: a 3-year-old son, Malcolm, and a 9-month-old daughter, Méi.
Before marrying Mulaney in 2021, Munn briefly dated Tucker Robertson for a year.
As for Rodgers, he was previously engaged to Big Little Lies star Shailene Woodley, though their whirlwind romance came to an end in 2022.

Mom Shares ‘Non-Negotiable' Rule to Prevent Her Kids From Bickering on Playdates
A mom of four has a definitive rule to make sure her children stay 'forever friends': No fighting with your siblings on playdates. 'However you treat your sibling, is how you open the door for other people, including friends, to treat them,' Hannah Driscoll tells Driscoll, whose children are 8, 7, 2 and 1, explained on TikTok: 'I don't let my kids play with friends if they're not getting along,' Driscoll said in her video. 'My big kids just had a bunch of neighborhood kids in our backyard, and they were all playing and my son started being mean to my daughter.' Driscoll said her 8-year-old son kept pushing his 7-year-old sister, down a slide while she yelled, 'Stop!' 'I called both of them in and asked what was wrong, and they talked to me about it,' Driscoll said in the clip. 'I said, 'OK, we're done playing with friends.' I told my son to go tell the other kids that they had to go home.' In Driscoll's video, she said her son took personal responsibility for the canceled playdate because, 'It's not my fault they have to go home.' Driscoll said her son told his friends: 'Hey, you guys have to go home because I'm not getting along with my sister.' She added, 'If they want to play with friends, they have to be getting along with their siblings.' It's not that I expect them to get along 100% of the time — it's that I expect that if they're going to be playing with friends, they treat each other well.' Driscoll said that after the canceled playdate, all was forgotten. 'Do you know what all my kids are doing right now?' Driscoll said in the video. 'They're all in the same room playing together and having fun. Because they know that those are their forever friends.' Moms with more than one child, agreed. 'We call it, 'The Same Team Rule.' Siblings are on the same team, always, and I'm the coach. If you're not playing like a team, the game is over.' 'I tell mine, 'If you treat your brother/sister bad, your friends are going to think that they can also treat your brother/sister bad.' 'YES! I always told my kids, 'If you can't get along with each other, you can't get along with your friends.' This made such a difference in how my children treated each other.' 'We don't tolerate meanness. Good on you for setting this standard with your kids.' 'My rule has always been, 'Everyone plays or no one plays. They have grown to respect this rule, whether they like it or not.' 'Also ... my kids will not allow other kids to mistreat one of their sisters.' Driscoll tells that her eldest are 17 months apart and share neighborhood friends, who are between the ages of 6 and 9. 'My kids fight sometimes, but they typically get along and have always had a close relationship,' she says. 'Learning how to resolve conflict with a sibling will help you do it at school or in the workplace,' says Driscoll, adding that she doesn't want other kids to mistreat her children based on what they see between her children. Driscoll knows from experience since she grew up with a similar rule. 'When my brother and I would fight, my mom wouldn't separate us — she would make us sit on the couch and hold hands,' says Driscoll. 'As a kid, I was annoyed by this but my brother and I ... are super close now. I appreciate it.' When her children's playdate ended early, Driscoll says her children begged for a second chance, but she insisted. After the neighborhood children left, says Driscoll, her kids continued playing with each other, explaining to 'They didn't miss a beat.' 'Removing a privilege like a playdate when siblings are not getting along is grounded in basic behavioral principles,' Francyne Zeltser, clinical director of mental health and testing services at Manhattan Psychology Group, tells in an email. 'From a clinical perspective, playdates are privileges, not rights,' says Zeltser. 'If the family rule is that playdates are contingent on sibling cooperation, then it's logical that conflict between siblings may result in that privilege being revoked.' Zeltser says 'prioritizing family relationships' is the message. 'Reinforcing the value of getting along with siblings before engaging with peers can help children learn to maintain harmony in their closest relationships,' she explains. 'As children grow older, peers often become more influential than parents or siblings. By establishing early on that family comes first, parents can instill a sense of loyalty, mutual respect and advocacy within the family unit. This can serve as a protective factor during adolescence, when peer influence becomes stronger and not always positive.' Zeltser notes the potential downside of canceling a playdate, especially if it happens a lot and kids continue to argue. 'It could result in fewer invitations from peers who don't want to risk their time being cut short,' says Zeltser. 'In that case, it's worth reassessing the approach and possibly incorporating other strategies, like coaching the children on conflict-resolution skills or using positive reinforcement for cooperative behavior.'

BTS will return in spring 2026 with a new album and world tour
Their reunion? It's smooth like butter. The K-pop septet BTS will return in spring 2026 with a new album and world tour. Members Jin, RM, V, Jimin, J-Hope, Jung Kook and Suga made the announcement Tuesday during a livestream on Weverse, an online fan platform owned by BTS management company Hybe. It was the first time all seven members have broadcast live together since September 2022. 'We'll be releasing a new BTS album in the spring of next year. Starting in July, all seven of us will begin working closely together on new music,' the band said in a statement. 'Since it will be a group album, it will reflect each member's thoughts and ideas. We're approaching the album with the same mindset we had when we first started.' According to a press release, the band will be in the United States this month to begin working on new music. The 2026 album will mark their first since 2022's anthology, 'Proof,' their 2021 Japanese compilation album 'BTS, the Best,' and their last studio album, 'Be,' released in 2020. They also announced a world tour, their first in nearly four years. The news arrives a few weeks after BTS superstars RM, V, Jimin and Jung Kook were discharged from South Korea's military after fulfilling their mandatory service. In South Korea, all able-bodied men aged 18 to 28 are required by law to perform 18-21 months of military service under a conscription system meant to deter aggression from rival North Korea. Six of the group's seven members served in the army, while Suga, the last to return, fulfilled his duty as a social service agent, an alternative to military service. Jin, the oldest BTS member, was discharged in June 2024. J-Hope was discharged in October. South Korea's law gives special exemptions to athletes, classical and traditional musicians, and ballet and other dancers if they have obtained top prizes in certain competitions and are assessed to have enhanced national prestige. K-pop stars and other entertainers aren't subject to such privileges. However, in 2020, BTS postponed their service after South Korea's National Assembly revised its Military Service Act, allowing K-pop stars to delay their enlistment until age 30.
