Olivia Munn has refused to stay quiet since it was revealed that a sex offender originally appeared with her in the new movie The Predator. When it came to light last week that Steven Wilder Striegel, an extra in the film, is a registered sex offender, Munn successfully demanded his scene be cut from the movie. Since then, Munn has spoken out against director Shane Black and her castmates, who allegedly left her to speak out alone during the Toronto International Film Festival. On Tuesday, Munn revealed to Ellen DeGeneres that Fox was not happy that she revealed Striegel’s record to her co-stars, as the studio was hoping she would be satisfied with its decision to cut the scene. “It was going to be something that got out there, so I wanted to give my co-stars a heads-up so that they wouldn't be blindsided like I was,” she recalled. “When I did call my co-stars, I got chastised the next day by the studio for telling them, and ‘Why am I just not keeping it quiet? It’s all going to be OK. It got deleted. What’s the big deal?’ And I said, ‘Well, it happened.’”
