Olivia Munn Wouldn’t Sign a NDA for a $1 Million Settlement

Olivia Munn says that she turned down a million-dollar settlement with a movie studio because she refused to sign a NDA. On Monica Lewinsky’s Reclaiming podcast, Munn said she’d been on a very traumatic movie set around 2017. “There were things that happened on this movie set, personally to me, that were really not OK and it was so traumatic that I had to file complaints with the studio,” Munn said. “It got to this place where I was offered a lot of money, a lot of money — seven figures — to accept their apology. But it came along with an NDA.” Munn says she refused to sign he NDA, even though she didn’t really want to speak about the movie. “I said, ‘I’m not signing an NDA.’ And they said, ‘You have to.’ And I just felt that it was so wrong,” she said. “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.’ .… I was concerned that the studio, in an effort to diminish my voice, would leak that I had signed an NDA for money.” Munn stuck by her guns, only for California to rule NDA’s unenforcible for for issues of sexual assault or harassment.

Munn refrained from giving any identifying details on what movie set was so traumatic it merited a million-dollar settlement, but the actor has been public with issues of sexual harassment and assault in the past. Munn was one of Brett Ratner’s accusers in 2017, claiming he masturbated in front of her in 2004. And she alerted the producers of Predator to a registered sex offender working in their midst in 2018.
