Olivia Munn didn’t take too kindly to being blamed for her boyfriend’s slump.
Olivia Munn is dating Greenbay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and when his performance seemed to slip recently, ESPN reporter Rob Demovsky tried to pin the blame on her.
In an article titled “Five reasons why Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is struggling”, he wrote, “A longtime NFL agent told me recently that when he sees one of his top-performing clients play differently, as Rodgers has of late, the first thing he wonders is if something is going on in his personal life.”
He added, “There’s no indication that Rodgers’ relationship status has changed. Lions reporters said they spotted Rodgers’ girlfriend, actress Olivia Munn, at Lambeau Field on Sunday. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that professional athletes have lives away from the field, and you never know what could be going on in their personal lives.”
Olivia Munn was quick to hit back at Demovsky.
Playing it fast & loose w/the journalism @RobDemovsky. Your professional skills are lacking… you must be having personal problems at home.

Olivia Munn didn’t stop there.
In another tweet, Olivia Munn fired shots at other sports journalists who took a cue from ESPN and ran with it.

Olivia Munn even attacked the source for Demovsky’s possible conclusion.
If ur going to validate a "fan's" comments about me, please also include if he's a racist. https://t.co/sqyjIUZXfq pic.twitter.com/qvj0afAWq4

It turns out, Aaron Rodgers wasn’t having personal issues with Olivia Munn at all. He was playing with an injured throwing shoulder.
Do you think Olivia Munn overreacted a little to the article or do you think she is justified in setting the record straight in such a direct way?
