It's curious reading these stories about actress Olivia Munn's #metoo crusade to get Black's friend scrubbed from the film -- and how the cast was "slow to react" to her quest:

Without going into how or why this guy was in the film to begin with, perhaps because all the publicity has to do with her and this issue, are the reasons she feels "alienated"? A lot of people worked on this film and are probably hoping it does well. Instead, nobody is talking about the film in the media -- and instead are talking about her and her "courageousness" getting this scene deleted.
Did she know about this weeks/months ago and did nothing until the last minute to maximize publicity? Sorry if I sound cynical but these things rarely happen without having been planned, utilizing PR campaigns and such to maximize the effect. She has always been self-absorbed and pretty much clueless in general -- back when she was on TechTV's gaming shows, people thought she was the ultimate "nerd goddess" when really she was playing a part and reading off a script. More over, didn't she make a movie with Bryan Singer?? Apparently she didn't want to make an issue out of
him.
There's also the issue that, unlike a lot of unprosecuted creeps like Weinstein, this guy was convicted and did his time. Does he deserve the right to work again -- even if it's a couple of scenes? I guess Olivia Munn doesn't think so.
It's a Boy Who Cried Wolf misuse of the whole #MeToo movement that's just going to make actual grievances from actresses be ignored in the long run if they keep abusing it like this.
