Olivia Munn has haters. Not at Complex, but like, elsewhere— in the real world— she does. When she got hired as a correspondent on "The Daily Show" last year, catty women the world over were in an uproar because they felt Munn was much hotter than she was funny, and that's why she got the gig.
“They said, ‘Oh, she’s the Maxim cover girl,’ which I get," she recalls in a new interview at Movieline. "But I’m just like, I’m sorry — you can put yourself in a box, I just refuse to let you put me in one, too.... I am who I am and I’m embracing everything that I am, and I’m not going to put on a turtleneck and hide away if I want to be smart and funny. You can be all of those things.”
Munn says that critics who chastise her for being funny and beautiful are just being narrow-minded and don't represent the voice of all women.
"Are you telling me that you’re smart, funny, and ugly?" she questions. "Because clearly you can’t be pretty, right? I’m guessing that whoever’s criticizing me, you’re saying that you’re smart and funny but you can’t be all of them. And then they’re like, ‘Well, you’re using that.’ No, I’m just being who I am and I’m actually comfortable with my sexuality, and if you put on a push-up bra or put on lip gloss, do not criticize me at all... So people can not like me, that’s fine. People can not think I’m funny, that’s fine. But when you’re trying to make a statement for women in general — I’m like, you know what? You don’t speak for a lot of women I know, and you don’t speak for me. It’s just you and your narrow minded friends that can all have this opinion."

Munn does seem like kind of a bitch. But she's a real babe though. And that bitchy look she always has on her face pretty much just makes her even hotter. (Boy I'd like a crack at fixin that attitude!) Bitchiness on girls seems to often be an amplifying attribute, because unlike our adorable Ms. Munn it actually makes those bitches at that lezbo jezebel site flat out intolerable. I dont think even beer goggles could make me put up with the BS I read coming off of those broads in those comment sections.
