Actress Olivia Munn really doesn’t like being considered an “off-field” issue for her boyfriend, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, so when an ESPN reporter did just that, she let him have it.
ESPN’s Rob Demovsky wrote a piece earlier this week, suggesting five reasons why Rodgers might be having trouble on the field, with Green Bay losing three consecutive games. The fifth reason for Rodgers’ issues is “possible off-field issues,” according to Demovsky.
Demovsky reports that an anonymous NFL agent told him that he always wonders about a player’s personal life when his performance takes a dive. He writes:
“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.”
As Deadspin notes, Munn responded and clearly wasn’t happy with all this loose speculation Demovsky was coming up with.
“Playing it fast & loose w/the journalism @RobDemovsky,” Munn wrote. “Your professional skills are lacking... you must be having personal problems at home.”
Demovsky hasn’t responded to Munn yet.
