Olivia Munn Says She Was Offered “7 Figures” to Stay Silent on “Traumatic” Movie Set Incident

X-Men: Apocalypse actress Olivia Munn recently revealed that she was offered a massive seven-figure payout to keep quiet about a disturbing experience on a movie set—an offer she ultimately refused.

A “Traumatic” Experience

During an appearance on Monica Lewinsky’s Reclaiming podcast, Munn shared she faced serious mistreatment while working on an unnamed film. Though she didn’t go into specifics, she described the incident as “really not OK” and serious enough that she had to file formal complaints with the studio.

While discussing her upbringing and strong sense of justice, Munn admitted that she has always struggled to see things in shades of gray. “So things were really black and white for me,” she said. “I just was like, ‘This is wrong, this is right.’”

The Money—and the NDA

Munn said the studio attempted to make things right with a massive payout. “A lot of money—seven figures—to accept I guess their apology and them taking acknowledgment of it,” she revealed. But there was a catch: she would have to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

Though she claims she never intended to go public with the situation, Munn was deeply uncomfortable with the idea of signing an NDA. “I just felt that it was so wrong,” she said.

The timing of the offer made things even more complicated. According to Munn, this happened right at the height of the #MeToo movement, when people who signed NDAs were often accused of staying silent for money. She feared that if she accepted, the studio could leak details to undermine her credibility.

She ultimately turned the offer down on the spot. “I turned to my lawyer and I said, ‘I’m not taking it,’” she recalled. “And we walked out of there, and I remember feeling so proud—so proud of myself.”

Munn’s History of Speaking Out

This isn’t the first time Munn has taken a stand. Back in 2010, she wrote about an incident in which director Brett Ratner allegedly exposed himself to her. Though she initially didn’t name him, she later did after other women came forward with accusations against him.

Then in 2018, Munn publicly criticized Predator director Shane Black for casting his friend, Steven Wilder Striegel, a registered sex offender. After Munn spoke up, the studio cut Striegel’s scene from the film.

While she has no regrets about rejecting the hush money, Munn admitted that she acted out of anger. “It’s not that I wouldn’t have ended up with the same decision,” she said. “It’s that I made that decision based on anger, and that is something I had to learn how to rein in and use for my benefit.”

Munn may have walked away from a huge payday, but in her eyes, keeping her voice was priceless.
