Olivia Munn Reveals Trichotillomania Triggered by Paparazzi Photos During Chris Pine Relationship

Olivia Munn revealed that her struggle with trichotillomania, a disorder characterized by the urge to pull out hair, began during her relationship with actor Chris Pine around 2009-2010. The onset was triggered after paparazzi photographed her leaving Pine's apartment in an intentionally ugly dress she chose to make a statement, and negative online comments accusing her of staging the photos exacerbated her condition. Munn described the sensation of pulling out her eyelashes as accompanied by a moment of pain, satisfaction, and immediate regret. She has since spoken openly about managing the disorder and remains in contact with Pine, whom she recently saw at an event. Additionally, Munn has been public about her health challenges, including a 2024 diagnosis of Luminal B breast cancer, which led to a double mastectomy and a hysterectomy as part of her treatment. Throughout her disclosures, she emphasized the impact of public scrutiny and tabloid culture on her mental health.
