Olivia Munn Said about Speaking Out About Sex Offender ‘Predator’ Costar

Olivia Munn admitted on Saturday, September 8, that she felt isolated after speaking out about a cast member on her new movie The Predator who is a sex offender.

Munn showed up solo for an interview with The Hollywood Reporter Opens a New Window. on Saturday that was reportedly supposed to be conducted along with her fellow cast members and admitted she felt disheartened by the lack of response and support from the film’s director Shane Black and her fellow actors.

Revealing she hadn’t heard from her director, the X-Men alum said she felt like she’s “been treated by some people that I’m the one who went to jail or I’m the one that put this guy on set. … It’s a very lonely feeling to be sitting here by myself when I should be sitting here with the rest of the cast.”

One of her castmates, Keegan-Michael Key, told THR through his rep that he wasn’t there because he was leaving the Toronto International Film Festival early to spend the Jewish holiday with his wife and “had reached out to Olivia Munn privately last week to let her know how proud he was of her.”

The Los Angeles Times reported Opens a New Window.  on Thursday, September 6, that the actress, 38, had gone to 20th Century Fox to report that an actor named Steven Wilder Striegel was a registered sex offender who had been convicted of attempting to lure a 14-year-old girl into a sexual relationship via the internet.

Fox cut Striegel’s only scene in the film, which also featured Munn, and Black later released an apology for casting the actor, who is his longtime pal.

“I looked back and I see the guys standing up, and I was just confused, because I hadn’t heard from them during the day,” she said. "Every other person was taking a seat — it wasn't care for this huge overwhelming applause for him. I felt it was as yet proper to applaud and cheer, however to really make that signal to stand up, particularly at this time … and secretly I realized that nobody connected with me to state, 'Are you OK?' It felt terrible."

"Express gratitude toward God, truly, that there is web-based social networking," Munn included. "It's the fans and news outlets that is affirming it to me that what I did was the best thing. If I didn’t have that feedback, I’d kind of go a little crazy thinking, ‘Why am I being treated like this?’ That’s not O.K., to feel like the bad guy.”

“That’s gonna vary from individual to individual. You and @BonafideBlack may differ when it comes to that issue. I don't have every one of the insights in regards to his companion's wrongdoing, however I know it includes a minor, and he invested energy in prison. With respect to absolution, I leave that to the individual," the This Is Us star proceeded. "What I disagree with, (and I trust Shane tended to this in his expression of remorse), is that we as a whole have the privilege to know who we're working with! Also, when somebody has been sentenced a wrongdoing of a sexual sort including a youngster, we have the privilege to state that is not alright!"
