Aaron Rodgers Family Rift Exposed

According to a new biography of the football  star, Aaron Rodgers's parents blamed their son   for severing touch with them nine years ago,  which happened when he was dating Olivia Munn.  'Out of the Darkness: The Mystery of Aaron  Rodgers', authored by sports journalist   Ian O'Connor, states that Ed and Darla Rodgers  believed the actress was the 'primary culprit'   behind their family strife, which started in  2014 when she started dating their second son.  The fact that Munn, now 44,  was having sex with Rodgers,   40, prior to marriage disgusted Darla, a  devoted Christian. When Munn disclosed in   interviews that they didn't do it on game  days, she became even more infuriated. "Given her fervent religious beliefs,   Aaron's mother disapproved of premarital  sex and was against her middle child—even   as an NFL player—sharing a hotel room  with his girlfriend," writes O'Connor. "Darla was not amused by Munn's joke  about oral sex during an interview   or by her public discussion of her sex life  with Aaron right before that Buffalo loss." In the alleged interview, Munn  was asked by host Andy Cohen on   "Watch What Happens Live" in December 2014 if she   had slept with the quarterback for  the Green Bay Packers on game days. 'No, we don't,' she shot back. Not during  the days of the games. It simply doesn't   happen since there are other things  to prioritize; there isn't a rule. Munn did, however, mention that they  sometimes have sex after Packers games. "It depends on the game's lateness."I make  every effort to have sex," she remarked. Munn was "saying all that s*** and it pissed off  Darla, really pissed her off," a source claimed. Munn had another interview with Cohen, but  this time Ed and Darla took issue with her   assertion that she had tried to persuade  him to make amends with his parents. "It's a lie," declared Ed. After a game in Tampa, Munn, who Aaron  split up with in 2017, went on an "angry   rant" with his parents about not being able to  see Rodgers, which further heightened tensions. That year, Munni Made clear she did  not want [Rodgers' parents] meeting   them or attending the game,' according to  O'Connor. Rodgers's parents had intended   to attend the game while visiting Disney World. 'Ed and Darla stated that they had been  attending Aaron's games since he was a   kid and did not need her permission to  continue to do so,' the book claims. 'You haven't been on the scene very long,' Ed said   to Munn at the time. You're merely his  romantic partner. We are his parents. Though they never received an apology  call from Rogers for Munn's remarks,   his parents had wanted to hear from him. Upon arriving in Tampa, they were greeted  by an email he had sent to relatives,   which basically read, 'Don't  assault the woman I love.' Sports writer for the New York Post O'Connor  claims that Darla and Ed were "sent to the   Island" and that they wouldn't talk  to their son again for nine years. However, O'Connor claims that Munn  "did not help her own cause," citing   a specific episode that caused rifts  between her and Rodgers' parents. O'Connor says Munn 'insulted' them by returning   Christmas presents that Ed and Darla  had purchased for her and their kid. Ed thought Rodgers had sent him a  birthday present until he opened the   very regrettable coincidence that they  showed up at the house on his birthday. O'Connor suggests that Rodgers may have  broken off his relationship with his   parents because he believed his kindness  toward them was being "taken for granted." Munn 'agreed' with that observation,   believing his family had no right to 'do  any celebrity and wealth chasing via him'. Given that Munn was a "presence in her own  right" and that Rodgers' mother was "strong   and unyielding," the player for the New York  Jets, Aaron Rodgers, seemed to get into it. However, Munn was eventually  identified by Ed and Darla   as the "prime culprit in the family division." Having 'nothing to do' with the  intense conflict with his parents,   Rodgers claims in the book  that he never accepted this. 'I have questions about why people  feel the need to talk about it,   because it's like a game of  poker,' he said to O'Connor. You don't need to bluff when you have all  the cards. They can only make up stories,   but in the end, they have to face the facts. Three years after their breakup, in 2020,   Munn gave rise to rumors that she was  disparaging Rodgers's sexual prowess in   an interview by implying that she had staged  orgasms with an unidentified ex-boyfriend. Munn declared: "These guys are out there feeling   so f**king confident that I swear to God  I regret every time I have fake moaned." "There's one in particular that was the  worst at simply having sex," I said. Indeed, Munn recalled, "I asked him once,  'Why don't you ever go down, but by the way,   I don't want you to,' after he had fallen on  me twice in the years that we were together." O'Neil notes that although Rodgers  broke up with Destiny Newton in 2013,   his parents had thought their  middle child would have wed her. "We all loved her," remarked a buddy of the  legendary NFL player. Destiny was someone we knew.   O'Connor said, "She would  have kept the crew tighter." The acquaintance claimed Munn shouldn't   be held solely responsible for the  discord inside the Rodgers family. The acquaintance claimed that the quarterback  had banished friends in addition to his family   and had once conducted a "clean  sweep" of those close to him. According to O'Connor, Rodgers  also changed agencies and "never   needed much help in determining  when to end a relationship." "You get on his bad side, you cross him once, you  are dead to him," a family friend reportedly said. Some believed Munn had 'opened Rodgers's eyes'  to the reality that he was being used by some. In an interview, Rodgers stated that  she provided him with "stability off   the field," which he felt meant "so much." This year, Munn—who previously starred  in HBO series The Newsroom and The Daily   Show—married 41-year-old comedian John Mulaney,  with whom she has a 2-year-old son named Malcolm. According to reports from 2023, Rodgers is having  a "casual" relationship with model Mallory Edens,   who happens to be the daughter of Wes Edens, the  owner of the Milwaukee Bucks and Aston Villa.
