- NFL. Actress accused of estranging Aaron Rodgers from family in bombshell new book
- NFL. Former Mahomes and Brady teammate questions Rodgers' GOAT status: 'He's the Greatest Underachiever of All Times'
Earlier this week, actress Olivia Munn was accused of being the reason Aaron Rodgers is currently estranged from his family in a new book that came out. Back when the couple dated for years, there were always these rumors running around of Aaron Rodgers' family dislike of his girlfriend. At a certain moment, the two of them seemed like they would get hitched but it never came to fruition. Today, Munn shares a son with comedian John Mulaney and Rodgers is trying to enjoy his final years in the NFL. But with this book coming out blasting Munn, Aaron felt the need to step up and defend his ex girlfriend.
Aaron Rodgers comes out to defend Olivia Munn
It was a short but powerful statement Aaron Rodgers made through the folks at People, they were the ones who got the exclusive from a source close to the New York Jets player. Author Ian O'Connor wrote the book 'Out of Darkness: The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers'. He got an exclusive quote from Aaron after the scandal broke that reads: "The issues with my family are deep-rooted. She has nothing to do with all the years of prior estrangement." This leaves the accusations against Munn as a fluke that only shows the family really didn't like her.
According to People, Olivia Munn herself is really happy because Aaron Rodgers reportedly defended her from slander. Although they broke up long ago, Olivia and Aaron really felt a deep connection and they both maintain respect for each other. A source close to Munn spoke to the folks at People about her reaction to Rodgers defending her after all these years. Saying: "It's been almost a decade of these ridiculous rumors, and I know she really appreciates Aaron finally shutting it down. The Rodgers family has a lot going on, and she hopes they find some peace."
