Olivia Munn thanks support from outside ‘Predator’ family
LOS ANGELES — Despite knowing she could be facing a big backlash, actress Olivia Munn nonetheless blew the whistle on a fellow actor after she learned he was a registered sex offender.
Her actions — and the reactions of her co-stars and director, Shane Black — as well as the feelings of critics and fans on social media — have virtually overshadowed the latest offering in the “Predator” franchise.
Much was riding on the film, “The Predator,” from one of Hollywood biggest studios, as well as producers who had shelled out an event-movie sized budget. Even the film’s world premiere was a bigger-than-usual deal, set for the lofty Toronto International Film Festival. None of that stopped Munn.
“Honestly, there was never a question in my mind whether I should be speaking out and speaking up,” she explained Wednesday night at a special screening of the film in Hollywood.
