“Happy first Father’s Day as a father of three!”
Olivia Munn is sharing an additional statement after Ms. Rachel shared her own statement.
This latest development comes after a conversation Munn had with People. During that interview, Munn revealed that when it comes to children’s programming, she’s not a fan.
"I know kids love [Ms. Rachel], but the thing is, if I can't watch it, I'm not going to spend the rest of my life going crazy," Munn, a moms of two, told People at the time. "These kid shows drive me crazy."
Munn and her husband, comedian John Mulaney, are parents to 3-year-old son Malcom and 9-month-old daughter Méi.

Even cartoons are a big no, Munn told People.
"Malcolm asked for Blue's Clues [recently], and I don't know who showed him Blue's Clues, but they are on my list now," she continued. "I said, 'Not in my house.’”
“John got him into the Spider-Man cartoons, which is not interesting to me,” Munn continued. “I put on Tom Holland's Spider-Man: Homecoming and was like, 'If you want to watch the real-life ones, then we can watch that.' It might be a little too old for him, but I can't take the cartoons."
After the headlines went viral, Ms. Rachel spoke out, saying, “WHO CARES?! I’d rather you cover me advocating for kids in Gaza who are literally starving, largest cohort of child amputees in modern history, thousands & thousands killed - no medical care, no education, no homes… do better!!!”
“Not against her at all and don’t care that she doesn’t want to watch the show,” she continued, “all my love to her and her family - disappointed in the outlets.”
Now, Munn is responding herself.
“To Ms Rachel and her fans, I hear and respect the passion behind your support. I never anticipated the media would single out one small thing I said and distort it like they have.
My comments were never meant to diminish the joy, comfort, and impact she brings to so many families,” Munn wrote.
“Every parent understands the importance of finding meaningful programming that helps us connect with our kids. I don't want something taken out of context to be a moment that steals even a minute of joy for anyone.”
