Just last week she was slammed for being too sexy for "The Daily Show," but now Olivia Munn is generating sympathy from some feminists. That's because, as Amanda Hess reports today on The Sexist, her memoir reveals that she felt pressured into posing topless for Playboy. Based on Munn's account in "Suck It, Wonder Woman!: The Misadventures of a Hollywood Geek," Hess writes that "Playboy's photographer, stylist, and team of handlers staged a day-long attempt to coerce Munn into taking it all off." It happened, as Hess sees it, in eight stages: Control, denial, social pressure, appeal to her sense of trust, "accidental" exposure, downplaying her concerns, silencing, anger, condescension and abandonment.

Bunch of crap really, she was "forced"? She could have just left or is she a child who cannot think for herself and give yes or no answers? Seriously is so stupid, do something, have regret about it blame someone else for it. Grow up!
