Olivia Munn Releases Statement on the Rise in Anti-Asian Hate Crimes: 'We Need Help Amplifying the Outrage'

Olivia Munn is asking for the public’s help to amplify the “Stop Asian Hate” message after a surge in hate crimes.

“Over the past few days I’ve found myself at a loss for words at the rise of anti-Asian hate crimes. The racist, verbal and physical assaults have left my community fearful to step outside. These hate crimes have spiked since Covid and continue to increase even though we ask for help, even though we ask our fellow Americans to be outraged for us, even though we ask for more mainstream media coverage,” Olivia began in her statement.

Olivia continued, listing the devastating hate crimes that have occurred: “A 91-year-old Asian American man was attacked from behind as he walked down the street in Oakland, an 84-year-old Thai American was murdered in San Francisco….a 64-year-old Vietnamese American woman was assaulted in San Jose and a Filipino American man was slashed in the face in Manhattan.”

“To simply exist as a minority in this country is seen as a protest to some,” she continued. “We need help amplifying the outrage. We need help to feel safe in our country. We need help to be safe in our country.”
