Olivia Munn Claims Director Tried to Sabotage Career on The Newsroom

News summary

Olivia Munn revealed on the Armchair Expert podcast that a director from the HBO series The Newsroom tried to sabotage her career by spreading false claims that she was late and combative on set. The tension arose from creative differences regarding her character Sloan Sabbith's romantic storyline with Don Keefer, with the director pressuring her to carry the romantic scenes in a way she felt was inauthentic. Munn recalled being asked to flirt or show affection during serious work scenes, which she resisted, leading to clashes with the director who accused her of being 'forceful' and 'strong' in her approach. She believes this director attempted to damage her reputation to hinder her chances of landing future roles, although she ultimately secured the parts despite the negative rumors. Munn emphasized that she was never late, living just minutes from the studio, and saw the director's actions as an attempt to undermine her over their creative disputes. This revelation highlights the challenges actors may face behind the scenes when conflicts with directors escalate beyond the set.
