By Francesca Hangeior

Olivia Munn announced has announced that she was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2023 and underwent a double mastectomy.

The actress, 43, explained that she and her sister Sara Potts tested negative for the BRCA gene — the most well-known gene to cause cancer — and her mammogram came back clear, but her doctor decided to calculate her Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Score just in case.

“The fact that she did save my life,” Munn wrote in a lengthy statement shared on Instagram, noting that her lifetime risk was 37 percent.

Her doctor prompted the actress to go for an MRI, then an ultrasound and finally a biopsy that confirmed she had luminal B cancer in both breasts, which is an “aggressive, fast-moving cancer.”

Munn underwent a double mastectomy 30 days later and has gone through four surgeries total over the past 10 months.

“I went from feeling completely fine one day to waking up in a hospital bed after a 10-hour surgery the next,” she wrote. “I’m lucky. We caught it with enough time that I had options.”

The “X-Men: Apocalypse” star credited her family, friends and partner, John Mulaney, for their support throughout her cancer journey.

“I’m so thankful to John for the nights he spent researching what every operation and medication meant and what side effects and recovery I could expect,” she continued.

“For being there before I went into each surgery and being there when I woke up, always placing framed photos of our little boy Malcolm so it would be the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes.”

Munn concluded her message by thanking her physicians, the staff at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, Calif., calling her OBGYN, Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, her “guardian angel.”

Portable and his managers subsequently reported the matter to security who noted they captured everything on camera.

He said: ” Before we entered the mall, I exited the car, I was walking towards the door and this organizer of the Regina show drove right in front of me and if I didn’t step back he would have hit me all because I didn’t want to go to his restaurant to promote his own personal business and he didn’t pay me for any of that.

”I didn’t say anything to him. I just wanted to buy some clothes and relax before the show. After we entered the mall, I went on my own shopping with my @djchelsea.official and the organizer for the Regina show came up to me and said I have to take pictures with every fan that comes up to me.

”I said you can’t tell me what to do I’m just shopping, enjoying my private life right now and then the organizer threatened to slap me and beat me. I tried to get him to stop and he yelled at me.

“Then I called my Canadian promoter @ajbone1 and AJ told him he can’t speak to an artist this way. Now the organizer shoved and hit my promoter AJ Bone while he continued to threaten me and then he hit me as well!!

“The security officer saw everything and they know I did not start the fight and I didn’t hit anyone. The other security officers saw the security cameras and they told me to press charges. The police is dealing with this matter.”

What Pasuma’s Daughter Says About Her Dad, What She Does For A Living

Published

on

One of the daughters of Fuji Star, Alabi Pasuma, Rokeebat Omobolaji Odetola is one of the wave-making music promoters in the music industry.

She is one of the daughters of Fuji star, Alabi Pasuma. But many didn’t know that. She also does not tell them, unless you ask.

In a chat with City People Publisher, SEYE KEHINDE at Imole residence of her father in Lagos, she said,

“Being Pasuma’s daughter stops outside the gate of my house here. When I leave my house and I go out, nobody knows me. I can say maybe when I worked with Danny S, that was when they started saying you don’t know my Manager, she is Pasuma’s daughter.

I tell those artistes that they should please leave aside my being Pasuma’s daughter, lets work, forget my background. Why I usually tell them to forget my background is because my father is not in support of it. I had to like force and beg him to allow me do what I do. So, I am not always proud to say it.

I don’t know who is very close to him that I will meet and he will pick up the phone to call him to say Paso your daughter is here, blabbing outside. She is in a club. So, I do go to shows on a lowkey level. I am not loud.

When I first started I decided he must not know, then. So, I was always not proud to say I am so, so, so, so daughter until when the glory started to show up and he started calling me CEO.

He will call me Rawkey White, the CEO. Rawkey White Entertainment endorsed by your daddy. That is how people now started to know that I am Pasuma’s daughter.

Till now, most people are still doubting whether I am Pasuma’s daughter or not based on the way I relate with them on the public. His name is aside. My name is aside.

I never thought of using his name to climb up. Right from time, I am always around his boys. I can say maybe I am the only child that relates with all of his boys. You met me outside with them gisting.

Right from childhood, I had the feeling, I had the plans that when I grow up, I want to have this kind of house (points to his dad’s house in Omole) and put my people there like my dad did here, and I want to be the boss. That is my own aim. So when I started working, I had my own office, I also had my people.

I have people who work for me. I thank God. So, the name is just different. I started it not to prove him wrong. I started it because I want to do it. All I want to do is to just manage artistes, not to sing. I started as part of the artiste’s entourage. I just follow artistes without any position, as part of the crew.

What I do is when I leave my gate, I leave my name inside my room. When I go outside, I want to know what’s up. I go to see DJs, go to shows, meet up with artistes and life goes on. I am happy I have been able to stabilise my business.

I have a car. I have a P.A. I have an official Photographer. I have a crew. I have a driver. I have my blogger.

Basically I have people that work for me. But I am not in that boss level yet. I am still training them. So, I do the main job myself, they also handle artistes on my behalf.”
