Kim Kardashian praises Olivia Munn's powerful post showing double mastectomy scars

Kim Kardashian shows their support for Olivia Munn after the actress bravely revealed her double mastectomy scars in a powerful social media post.

Munn, who was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer in April 2023, learned she had Luminal B, an aggressive and rapidly progressive form of the disease. Since her diagnosis, she has had five surgeries, including a double mastectomy, a lymph node dissection and a hysterectomy.

Following her post, SKIMS Founder Kim Kardashian is now praising Olivia Munn's bravery, praising her for sharing such a personal and vulnerable moment with the world.

Munn is featured in a powerful new SKIMS campaign launched in collaboration with the Susan G. Komen Foundation. The campaign was launched on Instagram on Wednesday, October 23rd.

In the campaign video, Munn proudly shows off her scars from a double mastectomy while speaking openly about her journey after being diagnosed with a rare form of breast cancer in April 2023 at age 41.

“I want other women to love their scars because they are proof that we fought back with everything we needed to get here,” Munn said People magazine about the campaign. “Beauty exists in every experience.”

Following the viral Instagram post, Kardashian took to her Instagram Stories to highlight Munn's new campaign for the shapewear brand.

Kim Kardashian supports Olivia Munn for her courage

“Hell yeah,” Kardashian wrote on her Instagram Stories, sharing a photo of Munn posing topless from the side, revealing a scar along her chest. The reality star also tagged both Munn and SKIMS, Kardashian's shapewear brand, in the post.

“Olivia’s courage to tell her story is deeply moving and we are honored to amplify her voice this Breast Cancer Awareness Month,” said the co-founder and chief creative officer of SKIMS, according to ABC. “Partnering with her and Susan G. Komen allows SKIMS to strengthen our commitment to inclusivity and supporting all.”

From October 23rd to 31st, SKIMS will donate 10% of the retail price of every bra (excluding bralettes) sold at SKIMS stores and on Skims.com in the US to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

“Someone said that sentence to me and it meant a lot to me and really touched me,” Munn said of the breast cancer diagnosis. “When it comes to breast cancer, it's like, 'Welcome to the worst club with the best members.'”

Olivia Munn says her scars are a reflection of her strength

After surviving cancer, Munn shared that she viewed her scars as a sign of her strength.

“When I look at the scars or how my breasts look different or how clothes fit me differently, I feel a lot of gratitude,” she said, promoting the SKIMS campaign. “The way my body looks is just a reflection of how hard I fought.”

The campaign, unveiled on Wednesday, October 23, marks the first time Munn has publicly shown her surgical scars since her double mastectomy. In the photos, Munn models SKIMS' signature bras and shapewear, including the Ultimate Nipple Bra in Clay, the Ultimate Teardrop Push-Up Bra in Sienna, the Multi-Way Bra in Onyx and the Back Smoothing Brief Bodysuit in Onyx.

Olivia Munn originally didn't plan on showing her scars

During a live interview with Savannah Guthrie on the Today show from Los Angeles, Munn revealed that she hadn't originally planned to show her scars.

“When SKIMS approached me to do this campaign, it was just about doing their shapewear and their new leggings, and it wasn't about my scar at all,” she said on the “Today” show.

“We were in the middle of the shoot and we were doing an outfit change so I could see more of my scars and the makeup artist was touching up my scars and we got to my double mastectomy scars and they were really hard to cover up .” And then I looked in the mirror and just thought, 'I'm tired of being insecure about my scars.'”
