Remembering Olivia Munn's tone-deaf jokes

2021-09-09 00:00:00

Actress Olivia Munn has been in recent headlines following the announcement of her pregnancy with comedian John Mulaney. She's also gained attention for excerpts of her 2010 book that critics call fatphobic.

In the book, Suck It, Wonder Woman!: The Misadventures of a Hollywood Geek, Munn writes this:



"I will fix America's obesity problems by taking all motorized transport away from fat people. In turn, I will build an infrastructure of Fat Tunnels, where all the fat people can walk. This will create jobs and subsequent weight loss." From Suck It, Wonderwoman! The Misadventures of a Hollywood Geek

Not everyone thinks the joke is funny.
