Olivia Munn recently revealed that she declined a seven-figure offer from a movie studio to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) after a 'traumatic' experience on set.

Speaking on Monica Lewinsky’s 'Reclaiming' podcast, Munn did not disclose the specific movie or details of the incident but emphasized her refusal to stay silent.

“I had to file complaints with the studio, and they offered me a lot of money—seven figures—to accept their apology and acknowledgment,” Munn said (via E! Online). “But it came with an NDA. I said I’m not signing an NDA, and they said I had to.”

The actress rejected the offer, feeling it was 'so wrong' and 'disrespectful,' particularly during the early days of the #MeToo and Times Up movements. She feared signing the NDA could be used against her to silence her voice or discredit her claims. Munn ultimately walked out of the meeting, feeling empowered by her decision.

Munn has previously spoken out against industry misconduct. In 2017, she accused director Brett Ratner of sexual harassment, alleging he exposed himself to her on the set of 'After the Sunset.' In 2018, she reported to 20th Century Fox that 'The Predator' director Shane Black had cast his friend, a registered sex offender, in the film without informing the cast. Black later issued an apology.

Munn’s decision to reject the NDA underscores her commitment to accountability in Hollywood. Her latest revelations highlight ongoing concerns about industry misconduct and the silencing tactics used by studios.
