Olivia Munn revisited her relationship with Aaron Rodgers in her latest interview.
The “Your Friends & Neighbors” star spoke about her ex-boyfriend on the “Armchair Expert” podcast Monday while explaining why she “didn’t watch” the 2024 Netflix documentary about him.
“I knew what it was going to be,” the “Newsroom” alum, 44, said of “Enigma,” per Us Weekly.
She claimed that the project was “going to push a narrative” that “never would ring true” with her — namely, that she was at fault for any of the NFL quarterback’s less than stellar performances on the football field.
Munn explained, “There was this narrative that took hold because, if you remember back in the day, Jessica Simpson was hung out to dry for the Cowboys failures [when she dated Tony Romo].
“During the time that I was with him, he had three hail marys, I think two NFC championships — not wins — but he made it into the NFC championship, which is very hard,” she continued. “No one would want to talk about that. I didn’t get credit for any of the wins.”
Munn and Rodgers, 41, were an item from 2014 to 2017.
On Monday, the former “Daily Show With Jon Stewart” correspondent also addressed the “big narrative that stayed with [her] for so many years” about Rodgers’ strained family dynamic.
“That had nothing to do with me,” she insisted of the athlete’s estrangement from his parents and brother Jordan Rodgers, who found love with Joelle “JoJo” Fletcher on Season 12 of “The Bachelorette.”
Munn added, “It became this whole big thing, and people were like, ‘I can’t believe her, she’s keeping this family apart.’ People have speculated for many years what was the rift, and I know, but I’m not saying because it’s not my story to tell.”
The “grateful” actress praised her ex for setting the record straight by denying her alleged involvement last year.
“Even if people didn’t want to take hold of that statement, it made me feel good that it was said,” Munn noted.
She did not divulge any details on the past romance elsewhere in the podcast, nor did she speak about Rodgers’ recent marriage.
The Super Bowl winner, notably, confirmed earlier this month that he wed a mystery woman named Brittani — and blasted the public’s “sick” interest in his “private” wife.
Munn, for her part, is approaching her first wedding anniversary after marrying comedian John Mulaney in July 2024.
The couple are the parents of son Malcolm, 3, and daughter Méi, 9 months.
Before moving on with Mulaney in 2021, Munn dated Tucker Robertson for one year.
As for Aaron, he was briefly engaged to Shailene Woodley during their whirlwind romance from 2021 to 2022.
