Olivia Munn opened up about a never before told story of a phone call she had with Brett Ratner, after she had accused him of sexual misconduct.

The 38-year-old revealed the story on stage as she joined a panel discussion at the Emily's List pre-Oscars brunch at the Four Seasons Beverly Hills Tuesday morning, according to Variety.

Back in 2011, Ratner had denied claims of harassment alleged by the actress and erroneously insisted he had 'banged her' and 'forgot,' later apologizing for the lie on Howard Stern.

Shortly before his half hearted mea culpa on Stern, the Newsroom star said she received an unsolicited call from Ratner. 

'I've never told any of this story publicly, I'm in my hotel room in New York,' Munn said from the dais, 'And I get this Caller ID blocked number, and I answer the phone and it's Brett.'

Olivia recalled Brett saying he was 'just joking about' his claims he had had sex with her and forgotten.

Those statements were in response to Munn accusing Ratner of masturbating in front of her.
