Olivia Munn unleashes homophobic micro-aggressions on ex-boyfriend before outing him on podcast

Well, this is disappointing.

Actress Olivia Munn recently visited Whitney Cummings’ “Good for You” podcast where she unloaded several homophobic micro-aggressions on an unnamed ex-boyfriend who people quickly figured out was NFL star Aaron Rogers.

“I have this one boyfriend, in particular, that was just the worst, the worst at just having sex,” Munn recalled during the nearly three hour interview.

“He went down on me twice during the years we were together, and I asked him once and said, ‘Why don’t you ever go down? By the way, I don’t want you to. But I’m just wondering why because I feel like most guys I can’t get out of my vagina and I’m like you have to fake it all the time.’”

The actress then implied her ex was gay, saying, “He’s like, ‘Well, I just haven’t had a lot of, you know, experience doing it.’ And I was like, ‘Oh.’ And that’s when I was also like, ‘Um, he may like Benton [Cummings’ male podcast producer] instead,’ you know? It might be his kind of game and stuff.”

She went on to explain that her ex, who she did not identify by name, always wanted to have sex with the “lights out” and from behind so “you don’t have to see that it’s a girl.”

“I didn’t put all those pieces together until later,” she reflected. “First of all, I got evidence about something, and then I put the other pieces together. I was like, ‘Oh, that’s what all that [was].’”

By making this insinuation, Munn is employing that tired old trope that if a man isn’t attracted to one woman (read: her), then that must mean he’s not attracted to any women, and, therefore, he’s gay, which is something to criticize him for.

Though she didn’t actually name the ex during the interview, it set off a wave of speculation on social media as to who the man might be.

The actress has dated several A-listers over the years, but her longest and arguably highest profile relationship was with Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rogers, who she dated from 2014 to 2017 and who has been the subject of bogus gay rumors over the years.

Rogers has long said he identifies as heterosexual while at the same time been a vocal supporter of LGBTQ athletes coming out.

The reaction to Munn’s insinuations has been mixed.

Some people are calling her out for engaging in homophobia by further peddling gay rumors about Rogers and, in fact, outing him to the world…


Others don’t see what the big deal is…
