The online drama surrounding Ms. Rachel and Olivia Munn has escalated, with the children’s YouTuber finally responding to criticism sparked by Munn’s recent comments.
This all started after Olivia Munn, 44, mentioned in an interview with *People* magazine that she doesn’t allow her children, Malcolm (3) and Méi (8 months), to watch Ms. Rachel’s videos. While Munn clarified that her issue wasn’t specifically with Ms. Rachel’s content, the actress still faced backlash online. Her husband, John Mulaney, even revealed they were receiving dangerous threats.
In response, Ms. Rachel, whose real name is Rachel Griffin Accurso, posted a statement on Instagram on Thursday, June 12th. She urged her followers to be kind to Munn and her family, stating, “Please be kind to Olivia & her precious family. I don’t believe in hate, attacks or hurtful comments.”
However, Ms. Rachel’s statement also shifted the focus towards her own advocacy work, highlighting the suffering of children around the world. “I scroll & see stories that don’t matter while seeing that children’s immeasurable suffering is being ignored,” she wrote. “It breaks me.”
Ultimately, Ms. Rachel, 42, made it clear that there’s no animosity between her and Munn. She confirmed that they’ve been in contact and are both choosing to move forward with kindness.
