This former beard actress who is probably A-/B+ list thought she would get a big boost by trashing a website.

Instead, she is going to have to be the one who is forced to issue an apology.

Go Fug Yourself

What Olivia Munn Got Wrong in Her Rant About the Fug Girls

When it comes to dealing with critique of just about any kind, celebrities have apparently had it this week. First, Lizzo lashed out against a recent review of her album, posting to Twitter that only musicians should be allowed to write music criticism, followed by Ariana Grande, who tweeted-and-deleted a screed decrying “bloggers,” writing about “how unfulfilled they are and purposeless what they’re doing is.” (Yikes, Ariana, what did we ever do to you?) – Source

Now, Olivia Munn is throwing her hat in the ring, issuing a long, rambling essay against The Fug Girls, a.k.a. Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan, the duo behind the cult favorite website Go Fug Yourself. Munn apparently takes issue with their criticism of her red carpet style, specifically a look she wore to the Apex for Youth Awards.

Olivia Munn’s Bizarre Vendetta Against One of the Least-Mean Fashion Sites on the Internet

With an essay she posted to Twitter on Thursday, actress Olivia Munn has sounded a declaration of war. Her target? An independent fashion blog with one-eighth of her following.

Munn wrote that the blog Go Fug Yourself is “at the forefront” of “the perpetual minimization of women” and that it “shouldn’t get away with spewing vitriol” anymore. “Blogs like theirs have been around for awhile, with their snarkiness and hypocrisy on full display,” Munn wrote. “And we’ve accepted it because as women we’ve been conditioned to believe that being publicly chastised for our weight, our looks, or our choice in clothing is an acceptable part of our existence.” Munn goes on to draw a comparison between the blog and the boys at a Maryland high school who circulated a list that ranked their female classmates by their looks.

For anyone who’s ever read Go Fug Yourself, Munn’s choice to focus on the fun, light-hearted, good-spirited blog is a bit of a head-scratcher. The site, despite its somewhat off-color title (fug is short for “fugly,” or “fucking ugly”), is actually one of the nicest blogs in the fashion and celebrity online ecosystem, and one that has for years made a point of keeping its critiques to the clothes famous people are wearing rather than their looks or their size. For a site that came up in an earlier and meaner internet era when Perez Hilton reigned over the blogosphere, this is an admirable, and rare, stance. Munn accuses the blog of body-shaming, but its writers take pains not to do so in their posts and to root out such behavior in their community. Munn also calls out the Fug girls for perpetuating the idea that women are only as good as their looks, but the site covers—and critiques—both genders. – Source
