John Mulaney Condemns Death Threats Targeting Olivia Munn, Kids Over Ms. Rachel Comments

John Mulaney has spoken out against the violent and threatening messages his wife Olivia Munn and their children have received following Olivia's comments about children's programming, specifically her dislike for Ms. Rachel, a popular YouTuber known for educational content. Olivia explained in an interview that she avoids watching kid shows like Ms. Rachel and Blue's Clues because they drive her crazy, which led to backlash with some accusing her of indifference to the deaths of children in Gaza, due to Ms. Rachel's activism for that cause. Mulaney condemned the conflation of Olivia's comments with political insensitivity, calling the violent reactions "absolutely insane" and unhelpful to any conversation. Olivia also issued a statement expressing regret that her remarks were taken out of context and emphasizing that she never intended to diminish the joy and comfort Ms. Rachel brings to families. Ms. Rachel herself responded by urging people to focus on her humanitarian advocacy rather than the controversy over Olivia's comments. The situation highlights the intense and sometimes dangerous nature of social media backlash over seemingly personal parenting choices intertwined with broader political issues.
