The confusion seems to have begun after the TikTok account @abigailmegan shared a video of an 'empty house' she had been cleaning with her girlfriend for 'more than six hours,' ahead of an actress' plans to move in on the following day.
She complained that they were getting 'completely robbed,' and she didn't want to share how little they were being paid for the job because it was 'humiliating.'
She then gave a tour of the home, revealing that it was certainly in need of major upkeep after seemingly sitting empty for an extended period.
While several people in the comments chastised her for not doing a full walk-through before agreeing to the payment amount, others were more interested in speculating on the actress.
Several commenters suggested that it was Olivia Munn, apparently without any evidence.
The speculation intensified after @abigailmegan posted a follow-up video of herself tearfully walking home through a city as she recounted being the 'most humiliated' she had ever been by the anonymous actress.
She said the woman had forced her after midnight to get down on her hands and knees to clean a speck of dust in a corner of an outdoor balcony.
Then she allegedly pulled out a 'wad of cash,' which the TikToker thought looked like an appropriate amount of money for what the job should have cost for 10 and a half hours of work, then gave her only half of it.
