Aaron Rodgers' Parents Upset Over Olivia Munn's Comments
- Olivia Munn's comments about Aaron Rodgers' family feud continue to upset his parents.
- Six years after the revealing interview, Ed and Darla Rodgers are still fuming.
- The rift caused by Olivia Munn's remarks remains unhealed within the family.
In a revealing excerpt from Ian O’Connor’s upcoming book, “OUT OF THE DARKNESS: The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers,” former columnist Ed discusses the complicated relationship between NFL star Aaron Rodgers and actress Olivia Munn. Ed claims that Munn fabricated stories to enhance her image, despite their close relationship during their time together. Munn, in a 2017 interview, recounted how Rodgers had been estranged from his family for months before they began dating, and she encouraged him to reconnect with them. Munn described a positive shift in Rodgers' family dynamics after her intervention, noting that they began visiting him in Green Bay in 2014. However, tensions arose when Munn expressed frustration to Ed and Darla, Rodgers' parents, after a poor performance by the quarterback. This incident highlighted the strain between Munn and Rodgers' family, as she felt blindsided by their plans to visit him. In a subsequent interview, Munn reflected on the complexities of fame and family, suggesting that the pressures of success can complicate personal relationships. She criticized Rodgers' family for their perceived opportunism, stating that it was unfair to undermine someone’s achievements. In contrast, Darla, Rodgers' mother, dismissed Munn's claims, comparing their family dynamics to those of other celebrity families known for their competitive nature. As Rodgers prepares for his second season with the Jets, he has made strides in reconnecting with his family, including a heartfelt moment with his father last summer.
