Ever since she gave birth in Dec. 2020, Olivia Munn has been keeping it real when it comes to motherhood. She wasn’t shy about sharing her struggles with breastfeeding back in February and she’s being up front about the dreaded “snapback” of her postpartum body.
In a recent Instagram post, the new mom to Malcom and partner to John Mulaney shared a photo of her out and about, perusing the cheese section at Whole Foods (where else would you shop for cheese?). Munn jokes about her appearance as she sports John’s clothes.
“This is my #snapback…No lie, I thought I was holding it together pretty good until I saw this photo. I thought the wedge sneakers made me look more pulled together but I was wrong,” her caption says.
First, Olivia girl, you are totally rocking that outfit. Second kudos for you for hijacking the ridiculous snapback hashtag and transforming it into something all moms can relate to––not feel terrible about.
Despite making a joke about herself, moms have been loving the post. Celebs like Chrissy Teigan have added to the tons of “likes” and even more are chiming in with hilarious comments.
“Literally had to do a double take. Thought it was me and someone had caught me out in the wild 🙃” says Hannah Simone. Michelle Kwan replies “Verified I feel you #snapbackclub 🙌😂”
The “snapback culture” is dangerous for moms. In a time where we already feel physically exhausted and emotionally spent, there’s just no room to feel like the way our bodies look is of utmost importance.
Not to mention, who exactly gets to tell moms (whose bodies have just performed a downright miracle birthing a baby) what their bodies “should” look like? And why do they need to snapback at all? Who’s to say that our bodies aren’t better after childbirth––that they’re stronger and more capable?
We’re giving all the props to Olivia Munn and her great taste in cheese.
