Some thought she wasn't thinking about what's best for her children. Things got worse when some fans began sending Olivia and her family mean and threatening messages.

Olivia Munn Clarifies Comments, Says No Harm Meant to Ms. Rachel
Ms. Rachel tried to calm things down by reminding people to focus on what really matters.
"I scroll & see stories that don't matter while seeing that children's immeasurable suffering is being ignored," she said, referring to kids affected by war around the world. "It breaks me."
According to ENews, Olivia later shared her own message, saying her words were not meant to hurt anyone. "My comments were never meant to diminish the joy, comfort and impact she brings to so many families," she posted on June 10.
Olivia expressed concern that their words might be misunderstood and unintentionally take away someone else's happiness, even for a short moment.
Olivia's husband, comedian John Mulaney, stepped in to support her, urging people to stop sending threatening messages.
He emphasized that the situation had been taken too far and stressed that such actions shouldn't be mistaken for meaningful activism.
Ms. Rachel ended her latest post with a powerful message about forgiveness. "We all make mistakes and struggle and misspeak," she wrote. "It's hard to be a human. It's really hard."
