The internet-driven “feud” between Olivia Munn and Ms. Rachel this week seems to prove we’ve completely lost the plot—and women in the public eye are under an unsustainable level of scrutiny.

The story was about Munn’s distaste for children’s television and bore a headline specifically citing the popular YouTuber Ms. Rachel — which apparently triggered some fans.

The controversy began when Olivia, 43, casually mentioned in the interview that her children, Malcolm, 3, and Méi, 8 months, weren’t fans of 42-year-old Ms. Rachel’s educational content.

Olivia Munn’s comment about Ms. Rachel sparked backlash, a deleted article, and a public response from John Mulaney.

John Mulaney says Olivia Munn received threats after commenting that she can't watch Ms. Rachel, saying the reaction has gone too far.

Additionally, Munn faced unexpected backlash when her comments about not letting her kids watch Ms. Rachel ’s videos turned into a heated discourse, with both she and Mulaney responding to critics.
