In an unexpected move, People magazine removed an article about actress Olivia Munn amidst escalating negative reactions from the public. The story criticized children's television, specifically targeting popular YouTuber Ms. Rachel. Due to the violent threats that arose against Munn and her family following the article's publication, the magazine stated its commitment to safety over content integrity. Munn's comments originated from a recent interview wherein she discussed personal topics like her fertility treatments and breast cancer diagnosis, but this particular commentary on kids' shows incited backlash.
"There is no excuse for these abhorrent attacks, and we will always prioritize safety above all else," the publication acknowledged in a statement explaining the decision to remove a story.
This was an unusual move for People magazine, which is generally considered a friendly go-to outlet for celebrities to share their stories.
Munn shared her irritation with children’s TV programming, specifically citing Ms. Rachel, a major celebrity to young children and their parents.
