Olivia Munn’s “The Predator” Co-Star Boyd Holbrook Has Come To Her Defense
An actor, and friend of director Shane Black, got his scene cut from The Predator after his acting partner Olivia Munn went to Twentieth Century Fox and told them he’s a registered sex offender. Olivia then revealed during the film’s stint at TIFF that she’d become the pariah of The Predator cast for speaking out. Sterling K. Brown eventually reached out to Olivia on Twitter.
Olivia had said her costars Boyd Holbrook, Trevante Rhodes, and Keegan-Michael Key all gave Shane Black a standing ovation at the film’s TIFF premiere, which pretty much made it sound like they were firmly on Team Shane. But Boyd has spoken out about Olivia’s decision, and he had some supportive things to say.
Olivia Munn Says She’s Gotten Little Support From Her “Predator” Castmates After Calling Out A Sex Offender
Recently we all learned that Twentieth Century Fox cut a scene from The Predator after Olivia Munn let them know that the dude she did the scene with is a registered sex offender. Director Shane Black knew about the whole sex offender registration but chose to cast the guy anyway since he wanted to “help a friend.”
To Olivia, it seemed like a no-brainer getting rid of the guy who tried to lure a 14-year-old girl into a sexual relationship over the internet, especially one who the sex offender himself described as a “distant relative”. But apparently, not everyone agrees with her.
