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.’”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
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…
ok but this is a real dick move by Olivia Munn. She’s publicly dragging her ex who was bad at sex and then insinuating it’s because he’s gay??
just bc Aaron Rodgers is a horrible lay does not mean he’s gay Olivia

Are we not going to talk about Olivia Munn outing an ex boyfriend on a podcast?
— alyssa (@alyssajunelle) August 14, 2020
Olivia Munn could have just said her ex was bad at sex, she didn’t have to out him as gay. She didn’t name names but she’s only had so many several year relationships so it’s not like a secret who her exes are.
— ️✊✊✊✊✊ (@KingAlaskaa) August 14, 2020
Why is no on talking about the fact that Olivia Munn seemingly just outed a very famous ex-boyfriend?? Unless said boyfriend was cheating on her with a dude, doesn’t that seem like maybe not her place to make such a statement and insinuate?
— Amanda Stonesifer (@Stonesife) August 11, 2020
Why did #OliviaMunn have to out one of her exes? She could’ve easily stopped at “the sex was horrible” no need to add their sexual preference ♀️ not her place….
— Veronica S. (@saisai5) August 14, 2020
Others don’t see what the big deal is…
Nothing about that was remotely homophobic but ok. Rodgers has long rumored to be gay, if true it would be cool for him to come out while still an active player.
— JP (@metsfan8626) August 13, 2020
olivia munn is in NO WAY claiming that my boo aaron rogers is gay
— applejuice (@thatukrainiann) August 14, 2020
Olivia Munn is trashing Aaron Rodgers for never going down on her and only hitting from behind, in the dark. That’s what happens when you date a gay.
— Aspersion Caster (@AspersionCaster) August 12, 2020
I feel kinda weird about Olivia Munn bringing attention to her exes by suggesting one of them was gay but I also feel weird about closeted adult men putting women in situations like that.
— ♂️ (@dxyvid) August 14, 2020
@AaronRodgers12 I’m so surprised that in this day and age you’re still scared to be open about your sexuality. So what if you’re gay that doesn’t mean you can’t play football at an elite level. Thanks too @oliviamunn you now have the perfect opportunity to show the world YOU.

She didn’t out him, she made tasteless insinuations. Why is Graham still writing for Queerty? His quality of work is more suited to the Weekly World News.
nmharleyrider
Another pus*y bitchingthat her ex did not worship her vagina. Talk about sour grapes
HankHarris
I find her cringey to be honest. She also spoke about having to work with an ex-con on Predator. I’m not condoning what the guy did, but is it really her business if he’s paid his dues to society and completed his sentence? Is it something that every company has to disclose to every employee? I worked at a big corporation where we found out someone who worked in the department had a similar conviction. We weren’t told because it really isn’t our business.
Cam
Except the guy was a registered sex offender due to something with an underage girl. If you are her, that isn’t the same as hiring a guy who stole a car.
spacecadet
This article is trash.
1) She didn’t name anyone. She’s been in several relationships so people can speculate all they want but without naming anyone it’s not possible to “out” such a person.
2) It’s one thing to comment that so and so must be gay if they’re not to into her and that would be immature and entitled , but she has a legitimate right to speculate on the sexuality of someone she was in a years long sexual relationship if she was seeing signs of something that just weren’t adding up to typical heterosexual sexual behavior.
scotshot
There’s a typical ….. sexual behavior?
Sounds like a far right evangelical.
ShiningSex
First off who is she again? Not a household name obviously. She sounds stupid, but YES her ex sounds gay too.
spacecadet
Instead of asking who she is why don’t you take a second to look her up? And not every celebrity is a household name. That doesn’t make whatever they have to say irrelevant.
Alex_S
If they had a contract, which probably was the case, he should sue her.

Uh no, she never named anyone.

Exactly. I attribute this to her personal vaginal hygiene… Or lack thereof.

The real story is how an average-looking, minimally-talented woman like Olivia Munn makes her living as an actress?

She’s actually gorgeous.
barryaksarben
Her stories dont add up. If the sex was that bad why would she stay for YEARS. I know many straight males who tell me they NEVER go down so maybe that is his attitude about that. And lights out seems to be about 50% of the entire population and from behind might just be what turns him on WITH A WOMAN. GOD knows I have had sex with more than my share of men and there are an infinite amount of preferences, kinks,desires and taboos in American men. I would love and spank it if Aaron was gay but wont take this persons word on it. Honestly I thought she was bi herself but must have her confused with another mid range actress. BAD FORM to DISH AN EX AFTER THIS MUCH TIME if you parted amicably
Donston
I really don’t like how she reduced sexuality and orientation to sexual behaviors and whether someone is good in bed or not. This is 2020. People should know better, especially when they’ve been in the entertainment industry this long and have probably met a lot of different types of “queers”. There are guys out here who have no problem eating some cuchie and/or fvcking women but they have little to no female attractions or they’re still “queer” or they may be contending with some fluidity and paraphiliacs or they may still have overall homo-leaning passions, affections, emotional investment, relationship comfort, etc. We really need to stop being so damn basic. Orientation is frequently more than just sexual behaviors or what you’re good at. That type of narrow perspective is a big reason why many men who ultimately prefer persistent same-sex affection, comfort, attention, love are constantly talking about how much they love pvssy and how much they want to be with a female and constantly hooking with random chicks to prove what a “real man” and non-homo they are. It’s also why a lot of dudes are out here claiming to be so much into guys because they like sucking dick or a decent at homo sex. Not understanding just how varied and particular sexuality and people’s struggles and the romantic, sexual, affection, emotional investment, relationship contentment spectrum can be continues to be problematic. It can be just adds on to manipulation, confusions, homophobia, internalized homophobia, identity dependence and insecurities. She needs to be aware of that. Also, there are plenty of dudes who are hetero and “straight” in every conceivable way but are still bad in bed.
There’s also no way she didn’t know what she was doing. Gay/same-sex rumors have followed Aaron for years. And he’s her most famous ex. While the first paparazzi pics of them together came out just a month after Aaron’s supposed bf (aka his “personal assistant”) of two years low-key attempted to out him on social media. Of course, folks are gonna assume she was talking about him. She had to have been known that stuff before giving this interview. The micro aggressions are barely even micro. Maybe she feels as if she was used mostly as a beard or that she was manipulated or had to spend a couple of years with someone not being honest with her about their dimensions and struggles. And I get her frustrations if that was the case. I don’t however know if that was the smartest way of relating those frustrations.
Essie
If the guy she’s outing is Aaron and he was so awful in bed, why did she stay with him for THREE YEARS??? I’m just asking ’cause I’m confused.
Personally, I don’t think Aaron is gay but, of course, I don’t know and I don’t care but Olivia knew very well that people would think of him when she said what she said. Olivia Munn is TRASH!!
Donston
Aaron’s ex roommate/assistant and rumored ex boyfriend almost directed outed him several years ago. Also, there are many reasons to stay with someone beyond sex. But she said was petty and irresponsible. There is so much more to sexuality and the orientation spectrum beyond sexual behaviors and whether someone is good in bed or not. So, reducing it to that was lame. While she had to know people were gonna she think was talking about Aaron. So, at the very least she knew what she was doing and can’t say she was being naive. .

Who is Olivia Munn?

@blackhook, Exactly, certainly not an A-lister.

Hostess, blogger, … famously, she got an X-Men role at the height of that fervor.
spacecadet
She’s an actress who’s been in a bunch of films and TV roles. Maybe actually take a second to look her up?
Donston
People using this to go at her looks: stop being so damn lame, shallow and misogynistic. It really seems half of you can’t contribute anything to any topic beyond petty jabs.
IWantAFullBeard
Just a thought but maybe Olivia is just a slut?
Donston
I don’t see what being a “slut” has to do with anything here. Once again, can y’all contribute anything beyond the shallow or the misogynistic?
IWantAFullBeard
Donston:
1) Being such an expert at sex that you can get identify personality traits and psychophysiology characteristics of another person makes you either a clairvoyant or a slut. And I don’t believe in fortune tellers.
2) I didn’t say anything misogynistic. If it was a male, I would have said the same thing.
Donston
Almost no males get caught up in conversations like this. This is a situation far more common for women. While a lot of women have suspected their male partners to he homosexual, not hetero, not overall hetero-leaning, “gay”. That makes all those women sluts? And once again, being a “slut” has almost nothing to do with this story. There’s a handful of things you can criticize her for with these comments. Going the “slut shaming” route is the cheapest and least sense making one. You just wanted an excuse to call her a slut. Try again.

IWantAFullbeard: She is. Google her naked pics. She’s the biggest hoe and liar ever.
boymikefl
P*ssy smells so bad. It’s worse than rotten garbage left out in a 100 degree sunny, humid day. That includes dead fish heads & flies. It’s an open wound full of bacteria. Any man, gay or straight avoids it. Vomiting will ensue. And no, I’m not gay but my boyfriend is.
Donston
You are of course trolling and being needlessly misogynistic. But there are plenty of dudes and women who enjoy eating pvssy. Never mind people who are into trans dudes. There are plenty of guys who talk about being grossed out by dick. Just as there are plenty of guys who suck dick practically everyday but are no where homo or even overall homo-leaning when it comes to the orientation spectrum. I for one am very happily married to a man, have no interests in ever having another legit relationship with a female and am now a pan-sexual who just does’t mind being viewed as “gay”. But eating pvssy is pretty much the main thing I get out of sexually engaging with women. Otherwise, I can take or leave sexually engaging with females.
The main problem with Olivia’s comments is that she doesn’t seem to get that everyone is turned on by different stuff or sexually pleased by different shit. She dismisses the idea that orientation and sexuality is incredibly varied. Your bf not being into giving you head or being bad in bed does not equate to him being “gay”. Aaron could very well be homosexual or “gay” or overall homo-leaning when it comes to the romantic, sexual, emotional, relationship scale. But reducing things to giving her head makes and being bad in bed just reflects how shallow and petty she is.
But ultimately, this was all about throwing shade at Aaron and attempting to semi out him. It does continue to highlight how we’re too obsessed with sexual behaviors and use sexual prowess to validate us or to bring down other people.
Brian
I hate that I’m a psychic because psychics aren’t real. She has always been bigoted trash, and this confirmed it.
DuMaurier
Is this a hetero girl thing, slamming an ex’s sexual prowess (at least Munn skipped the size-belittling part) after a breakup? I’ve never known a guy to say about an ex-lover, “Jeff was horrible in bed, it was disgusting every time; oh, and I could barely FIND the thing!”, etc. If I did that I’d expect the response to be, “Well, I guess you’re an idiot for being with him for five years. What’s wrong with YOU?” It’s what I’d say if I heard that from someone.
smartguyd
The misogyny is real. As gay men we will spread graphic x-rated gossip about our sex lives in public at brunch, make fun of bottoms, and speculate about celebrities sex lives. Then yall wana act like a woman discussing her own personal experiences is wrong? Here let me correct this headline ‘Twitter users and Queerty take actress Olivia Munn’s podcast comments out of context and use them to further harass Aaron Rogers about his sexuality’
Donston
I agree 100% when it comes to the misogynistic crap. But it’s not really about “gays”. Many, many “straight” guys find any excuse to criticize and demean women. I also don’t see her comments as inherently homophobic. Queerty and Graham are very, messy and hypocritical. Shaming Munn but also using her comments as clickbait and to instigate more gossip and speculation. Munn does have to take some responsibility though. Her general comments were ignorant. And there’s no way she hasn’t for years known about the Aaron Rodgers rumors. She had to know what she was inciting. But does she deserve to be torn apart for telling her life and her situation though? Absolutely not.
yup5hioop
seems like she’s not saying he was bad at sex just not so into it in kinda questionable ways. Without some physical and emotional cues it’s kinda hard to play the whole sex and love game no matter what your orientation unless everybody is hyper aware of differences in neurology or talks openly about stuff. no idea who these people are but if he’s not into it he’s not into it – maybe offensive but also a weird essential-ism. Maybe he’s born with it.
johnnymcmxxx
Who are all these guys she can’t get out of her vagina? How many are up in there? That’s the big story.
Georgeiv2
Even if you were straight why would you want to get mix up with such a self centered self obsessed female ?
Troysky
@Georgeiv2 ….yours is the best response… this comes across as: sour grapes, and moreover: her ego of feeling not “pretty” enough, so the other guy is gay…WHEWWW! Then it’s not about her looks!!! (uuggh). ……to me it just stinks of that trope. ….Done with Olivia Munn.

It’s interesting that Queerty is now so sure about the “bogus gay rumors.” A few years ago Queerty seemed pretty eager for Aaron Rodgers to be gay, along with his little bf Kevin Lanflisi.
JAWIWA
Here’s the solution: if you don’t want ex girlfriends to out you, then don’t use unwitting women as beards. There are plenty of women who will make a financial arrangement to beard for famous men.
