Olivia Munn condemned a racist online attack after a hacker attempted to deter from an AAPI advocacy webinar with vicious imagery and horrific audio messages during the event.
Munn, the National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum (NAPAWF) — an organization that focuses on empowering AAPI women and girls to participate in critical decisions that affect their lives, families, and communities — and AAPI creators were interrupted with an abusive 'zoom bombing' during the online seminar.
'Today while hosting a gathering of AAPI women and allies in a conversation about how to stop anti-Asian hate, we were targeted by a zoom bombing of horrific, violent, racially charged images and audio,' she wrote on Instagram.

'While it momentarily disrupted our event, we later resumed because these malicious acts will not stop the conversation.'
Olivia was also joined by Tower 28 founder Amy Liu and Priscilla Tsai, the founder of Cocokind, for the event to celebrate the conscious beauty brands' collaboration with the Cocokind x Tower 28 Lunar New Year Kit.
'We were communing to celebrate, elevate and protect the AAPI community and we were subjected to a hate crime in real time. It was a cowardly and unconscionable act,' she wrote.
'But to be clear, the conversation WILL go on. I stand with @cocokind, @tower28beauty, @priscilla.tsai, @amyliu47, @schoimorrow, and @napawf and I am proud to be AAPI.
