Olivia Munn showed off her mastectomy scars as she took part in a powerful new ad campaign for Kim Kardashian‘s SKIMS brand.

Munn, who underwent a double mastectomy following her breast cancer diagnosis last year, wore no top as she posed with a scar visible on her left breast. 

The star, 44, opened up about her health ordeal in video taken for the campaign, telling the camera: ‘Someone said this phrase to me, and it meant a lot and it really touched me. When it comes to breast cancer, welcome to the worst club with the best members.’ 

‘My name is Olivia Munn and I’m a breast cancer survivor,’ she says. ‘When I look at the scars or how my breasts look different or how clothes fit on me differently, I just feel a lot of gratitude. 

‘The way my body looks is just a representation of how hard I’ve fought.’

The campaign, occurring in the midst of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, also saw Olivia model an array of other looks from SKIMS, including a tan bra and bottoms and black bra with an angled strap.

Olivia shared snaps from the campaign to her own ad, writing: ‘KINTSUGI 金継ぎ. In the middle of this latest @SKIMS bra campaign shoot, I decided I was done being insecure about my mastectomy scars. 

‘Every mark life has left behind on my body is proof of how hard I fought. I hope other women who have been self-conscious about their scars see these photos and feel all the love I’m sending.

‘It’s really meaningful to be part of an initiative that supports research and helps countless individuals impacted by breast cancer. 

‘From October 23, 2024 to October 31, 2024, SKIMS will donate to Susan G. Komen® 10% of the retail sales price for each bra sold in SKIMS stores and on Skims.com, excluding bralettes (U.S. Only) #ad.’

In an interview with Today, Olivia revealed that the campaign initially wasn’t supposed to be about her scars – until she chose to embrace them. 

‘When Skims approached me to do this campaign, it was just to do their shapewear and their new leggings, and it wasn’t about my scar at all,’ she said. 

But while shooting the campaign, Olivia struggled to conceal the scars once she changed into an outfit where they became more visible.

‘But were in the middle of the shoot and we changed into an outfit that could see more of my scars so the makeup artist was touching up my scars and then we got to the double mastectomy scars and they were just really hard to cover up,’ she said. 

‘Then I was looking in the mirror, and I just thought, “I’m done being insecure about my scars,”‘ she recalled. ‘So I went to the team of Skims and I said, “What do you guys think about showing my scars in this campaign?” 

‘And they were so amazing and thoughtful and wonderful. And we talked it out and then we decided to do it.’

Olivia and her husband John Mulaney recently became parents of two – the couple welcomed their second child together, a daughter Méi June Mulaney who was born via surrogate last month.

The couple also share two-year-old son Malcolm together.

But Olivia admitted she harbored ‘a lot of guilt’ for being ill whilst raising her children.

‘There is a lot of guilt that I had and still have from being sick for so long and being bedridden with so many surgeries,’ she said.

‘I mean, I thought that when I got through the big chunk of surgeries, like the four surgeries in the beginning, that I would be able to get back on my feet. But then, there came the first wave of medication, and that just knocked me down and was debilitating.’

‘I found that I was just tired and not around that much and I couldn’t hold him as much and I couldn’t go to the playground as much.

‘It was really exhausting and there’s just a lot of guilt. I work with my oncologist a lot to try to figure out what I can do.

‘We’re just such a little family, we’re really tight. We have a lot of fun and we laugh all the time. And John is just the most amazing husband and father and so we figure out a way to make it all work despite how tired I can be at times.’

Olivia also described how ‘scary’ it was receiving the breast cancer diagnosis while also actively trying to expand her family with John

Olivia has undergone five surgeries since being diagnosed with luminal B breast cancer in both breasts last year – including the full hysterectomy and full double mastectomy. 

‘You fought so hard for this second baby too… and you’ve had this major surgery where you took out your ovaries, your uterus, had an egg retrieval. And that is it’s own journey,’ Today correspondent Savannah Guthrie noted. 

Olivia went on to describe how ‘scary’ it was receiving the breast cancer diagnosis while also actively trying to expand her family with John.

‘We were planning on trying to have another baby. So at that point, I said, “I need to freeze more eggs.” I’d already frozen eggs in my 30s but I just didn’t know if they were any good because I didn’t turn them into embryos.

‘So, I said to John, I need to freeze more eggs or get more eggs out. And that’s going to put me at risk because I’m going to put more hormones in my body and that’s what feeds my cancer.

‘I need you to be supportive of this and you know it’s scary but he said, “Of course. Whatever you want to do I’ll support you.” So we went down the journey of getting more eggs and I really wanted a little girl.

‘I really felt that I needed two embryos and two female embryos. And our doctor said “I’m going to get one more for you, it’s too much of a risk. And we’ll do one retrieval and try and get one girl and call it quits after that.” And then I remember saying to John, when we got to a place where our embryos were getting tested, we had two embryos getting tested.

‘I said, “Ah man, our odds of getting at least one to be a girl and healthy is really slim.” I said, “I need you to support me, because I want to go back and do it again if we don’t get two. I really want two.” And he said, “Whatever you want to do, I support you.” We got home that day and we got a call from my fertility doctor, Dr. Wong, and he said “We got the results back and it’s the dream.” Said it’s two healthy baby girl embryos.

‘And John and I just burst into tears and we just couldn’t believe how lucky we’ve been after a series of a lot of unlucky moments in our life recently. One of those embryos is little baby Mae. She wouldn’t be here if we didn’t go through all that.’

Olivia also said she was currently balancing raising her little ones in the midst of taking medication.

‘I’m doing great. I’m in the middle of mixing my medication around a little bit ’cause anybody who’s going through this understands that treatment can be taxing at times, trying to find the right medication, but I’ve got my hands full with a newborn and a toddler so a lot of my energy is going towards them and it’s distracting a lot of the other side effects of my medication. So I’m doing pretty good.’
