 Olivia Munn says she's getting the cold shoulder from "The Predator" cast after flagging 20th Century Fox that an actor in the reboot of the franchise is a registered sex offender. "There are people who get very mad at you for not... just, you know... helping them bury it," she said carefully at one point. Shane Black's highly anticipated reimagination of Fox's Predator franchise — a comedic take on the sci-fi thriller starring Boyd Holbrook, Olivia Munn, Sterling K. Brown, Jacob Tremblay and a cast of misfits played by Trevante Rhodes, Thomas Jane and Keegan-Michael Key — scored a coveted slot in the Toronto International Film Festival lineup ahead of its Sept. 14 release. That’s not O.K., to feel like the bad guy.” 
 
 As the Los Angeles Times originally reported, Munn was tipped off that Striegel was a convicted sex offender, and notified Fox on August 15; though the Times report said that executives quickly worked to cut Striegel’s scene, Munn told Variety that the studio waited two days to tell her they‘d taken action, and in that time she told them she didn’t feel comfortable presenting at the V.M.A.s on August 20 unless the scene was cut. Striegel, a friend of “The Predator” director Shane Black’s, pleaded guilty in 2010 to two felonies — risk of injury to a child and enticing a minor by computer — after facing allegations that he attempted to lure a 14-year-old female into a sexual relationship through the internet. It was Munn who first alerted the studio that she had shared a scene with this man and set in motion his removal from the film. We are in the midst of a very crucial and important time and it is imperative that we keep listening.” 
 
 When asked for comment, a Twentieth Century Fox spokesperson said, “Our studio was not aware of Mr. Striegel’s background when he was hired. Answering a question about why she is still promoting the film, Munn tweeted Friday that she was "contractually obligated," adding that, "From what I’m experiencing, I think they’d prefer I not show up. You deserve to go make money, but not alongside me in a film. Munn did show up to THR's Video Lounge in Toronto on Saturday afternoon, but instead of doing an interview alongside available castmembers, Munn was joined only by Tremblay after a few of her fellow actors backed out of scheduled interviews, presumably because of the subject matter of the deleted scene. A representative for The Predator star Keegan-Michael Key reached out to Mashable after this story published and asked us to share the following statement: 
 
 Keegan was never booked to do an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. He was always departing TIFF early so he could be home to spend the Jewish holiday with his wife. Furthermore, Keegan reached out to Olivia privately last week to let her know how proud he was of her and echoed that sentiment in many interviews since then.” 
 
 On Monday Boyd Holbrook sent the following statement via a representative: “I want to start by apologizing for this statement coming late in the current conversation. I applaud @20thcenturyfox for doing the right thing by removing the scene with the actor in question." You don’t just sit back and hope it protects your movie. How many women have said over the past year (and, let's be clear, since well before that) that change is going to have to be a group effort? Black has frequently cast Striegel in his films, including 2013's "Iron Man 3" and 2016's "The Nice Guys." “I looked back and I see the guys standing up, and I was just confused because I hadn’t heard from them during the day. But I’m happy that they did obviously because I’m proud of the work we did in this movie, we all worked really, really hard, and I wouldn’t be able to morally stand behind this movie with this guy in there.”

 A spokesperson for Fox said this week that the studio was unaware of Striegel’s history when casting the film. "I do feel like I’ve been treated by some people that I’m the one who went to jail or I’m the one that put this guy on set." https://t.co/QngLCk9fzj — om (@oliviamunn) September 6, 2018

 To be clear: Munn only comes off here as a strong woman who's not backing down from her position that she did the right thing. Black said in a statement on Thursday: "Having read this morning's news reports, it has sadly become clear to me that I was misled by a friend I really wanted to believe was telling me the truth when he described the circumstances of his conviction. The truth is that the situation that we’re in over the last year or so, the #MeToo movement, it really exists because of the people online who are appalled and outraged and demanding that things be changed. The people who are at the top, the people colluding to keep abusers in power, the people who are colluding to turn a blind eye so that they can keep making money, they are the people who created this disparity in the first place, we can’t really depend on them to make a change. Brown said "our studio was not given that opportunity" to know who they were working with, especially Munn who appeared in the deleted scene opposite Striegel: "I so appreciate that you 'didn’t leave well enough alone.' I believe strongly in giving people second chances – but sometimes you discover that chance is not as warranted as you may have hoped." Right now the reality is that there will be people who wear Time’s Up pins and say they support Time’s Up, [but] there will be people in Time’s Up who aren’t really down with the cause.” 
 
 In an interview at TIFF with The Los Angeles Times, alongside Munn and Augusto Aguilera, Rhodes said, “I wasn’t disappointed in Shane.
– An actor in the Predator reboot was a registered sex offender, and it was one of his famous colleagues who turned him in to the studio. Olivia Munn discovered Steven Wilder Striegel, a friend of The Predator director Shane Black who'd acted in one of the film's scenes with her, had pleaded guilty in 2010 for trying to lure a 14-year-old girl online into a sexual relationship, and she alerted 20th Century Fox—which, she tells Variety, initially didn't return her call. She followed up, and the scene was eventually cut. Since then, Munn says she's "getting the cold shoulder," as USA Today puts it, from fellow cast members and Black, who hasn't spoken to her. "It's a very lonely feeling to be sitting here by myself," Munn told the Hollywood Reporter during a promo interview Saturday in which only 11-year-old co-star Jacob Tremblay showed up to sit next to her. "I do feel like I've been treated by some people that I'm the one who went to jail or I'm the one that put this guy on set," she added. Though two of her co-stars, Keegan-Michael Key and Sterling K. Brown, note they weren't set to do the THR interview and that they support Munn, Munn tells Vanity Fair co-stars have dropped out of more than one interview and that no one else issued statements when she encouraged them to. "Right now the reality is that there will be people who wear Time's Up pins and say they support Time's Up, [but] there will be people in Time's Up who aren't really down with the cause," she says. Meanwhile, in an op-ed for Mashable, Adam Rosenberg writes it's "so very wrong" Black hasn't reached out to Munn directly, and that she's facing the media alone. "It's shameful that ... she has to pay any kind of price for doing the right thing."
