Olivia Munn slams journalist for Aaron Rodgers comment

Nov. 19--An ESPN journalist offered Aaron Rodgers' relationship with actress Olivia Munn as one of five possible reasons the Packers quarterback has been struggling on the field lately.

Explosive reaction in 3, 2, 1 ...

"Playing it fast loose w/the journalism @RobDemovsky," Munn tweeted to Demovsky on Thursday. "Your professional skills are lacking... you must be having personal problems at home."

Under the heading "Possible off-field issues?" Demovsky hinted in an article Tuesday that personal strife between Rodgers and Munn showing up in Rodgers' performances.

"A longtime NFL agent told me recently that when he sees one of his top-performing clients play differently, as Rodgers has of late, the first thing he wonders is if something is going on in his personal life," Demovsky wrote. "There's no indication that Rodgers' relationship status has changed. Lions reporters said they spotted Rodgers' girlfriend, actress Olivia Munn, at Lambeau Field on Sunday. Sometimes it's easy to forget that professional athletes have lives away from the field, and you never know what could be going on in their personal lives."

Munn received a show of support from Twitter followers and clarified her thoughts with another tweet: "The trolls can have their comments, it's not them I'm calling out, it's the journalists. Thanks for the love though."
