Olivia Munn was none too happy when ESPN journalist Rob Demovsky put her as number five on a list of five reasons why Greenbay quarterback, and Olivia Munn’s boyfriend, Aaron Rodgers might be having a slump.
In his article, Demovsky seems to point blame at Olivia Munn, writing, “A longtime NFL agent told me recently that when he sees one of his top-performing clients play differently, as Rodgers has of late, the first thing he wonders is if something is going on in his personal life.”
He added, “There’s no indication that Rodgers’ relationship status has changed. Lions reporters said they spotted Rodgers’ girlfriend, actress Olivia Munn, at Lambeau Field on Sunday. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that professional athletes have lives away from the field, and you never know what could be going on in their personal lives.”
After the article came out, Olivia Munn was quick to kick back.
Playing it fast & loose w/the journalism @RobDemovsky. Your professional skills are lacking… you must be having personal problems at home.

Olivia Munn also called out other sports news outlets that took Demovsky’s idea and ran with it.

As it turns out, the problem isn’t Olivia Munn at all, but a shoulder injury on the arm he throws with.
It seems Aaron Rodgers kept playing with an injured shoulder to keep his locker room pride intact.
He said in an interview, “Some people use the injuries as an excuse. But I think for the guys in this locker room who are out there battling, it’s a source of pride.”
Do you think Demovsky was “playing it fast and loose with the journalism” when he tried to blame Olivia Munn for Rodgers’ recent performance?
