Brett Ratner Dated Then Dumped Olivia Munn: “I Get It, She’s Bitter.”

November 4, 2011 by Hollywoodite

Brett Ratner reminded people that he dated Olivia Munn before she was Asian, his words, and before she went by “Olivia.”

Ratner appeared on Attack of the Show where he was asked about unflattering things Munn wrote about him in her memoir Suck It, Wonder Woman!: The Misadventures Of A Hollywood Geek. Amongst the anecdotes about her early days in Hollywood, Munn recalled “a grown man in an oversized shirt holding his undersized manhood in hands glistening with shrimp fat.” Ew.

Asked if the story’s about him, Ratner became passive-aggressive and douchey.

 ”I used to date Olivia Munn… when she was Lisa,” said Ratner of Munn, née Lisa Munn. “That was the problem. She wasn’t Asian back then.”

“She was hanging out on my set of After the Sunset, I banged her a few times… but I forgot her. Because she changed her name, I didn’t know it was the same person. So when she came and auditioned for me for a TV show, I forgot her, she got pissed off and she made up all these stories about me eating shrimp and masturbating in my trailer. And my shortcomings. She talked about my shortcomings. I get it. She’s bitter.”

[Interjected co-host Kevin Pereira]… “To be fair, you did ask for a shrimp cocktail in the green room today.”

Ratner did, however, have one nice thing to say about Munn… sort of. “I think she’s a lovely nice girl. It’s not the same girl that I met, actually. Olivia and Lisa are two completely different girls.” – via Entertainment Weekly.

** UPDATE: Ratner went on Howard Stern the following morning and admitted that he lied. He never dated, nor slept with Munn.
