Olivia Munn turned down a “seven-figure” payout to stay quiet about a “traumatic” incident that happened on a movie set, she revealed on an episode of Monica Lewinsky’s new podcast Reclaiming. “There were things that happened on this movie set, personally to me, that were really not OK,” Munn said. “It was so traumatic that I had to file complaints with the studio,” she continued. “It got to this place where I was offered a lot of money, a lot of money—seven figures—to accept their apology,” but she didn’t take the money because it came with an NDA. “I just felt that it was so wrong. It was the beginning of the #MeToo era and Time’s Up, when people were targeting anyone who signed an NDA and saying, ‘Oh, you only did it for the money.’” Munn said she was “proud” to have walked away from the payout, but still did not reveal what happened or on which movie set it occurred. In 2017, Munn alleged director Brett Ratner masturbated in front of her, and in 2018, she demanded a scene be removed from Predators, when she became aware she had acted opposite a registered sex offender. Other films Munn appeared in during that time period include Ride Along 2, X-Men: Apocalypse, Office Christmas Party, and Ocean’s Eight.
