Olivia Munn is tired of hiding the scars from her mastectomy

Olivia, who announced her breast cancer diagnosis earlier this year, shared pictures from the photoshoot. The actress said that she was tired of hiding her post-mastectomy scars and wanted to show them off as it proved how hard she fought. Sharing the photos, Olivia wrote: “In the middle of this latest @SKIMS campaign shoot I decided I was tired of worrying about my mastectomy scars. Every mark that life has left in my body is proof of how hard I fought.”

Olivia added in her post that she hoped the images would help women who are “aware of their scars” and feel the love she is sending them. “It is truly meaningful to be part of an initiative that supports research and helps countless people affected by breast cancer,” she added.

“When I look at my scars…”

In a clip shared by Skims, Olivia spoke about her journey and the phrase that resonated with her during her breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. The actor said: “Someone said this line to me and it meant a lot to me and touched me: 'When it comes to breast cancer, they say they are welcome in the worst club with the best members.' When I look at the scars and how my breasts look different or how the clothes fit me differently, I just feel so grateful.”

Vanessa Beecroft took the pictures of Olivia Munn. According to a press release, the campaign was launched during the final week of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in partnership with the Susan G Komen organization and encourages women to undergo screening.

In a statement released by Skims, Olivia said: “This issue is deeply personal to me and I am proud to help raise awareness and discussion about it. Skims' commitment to empowerment and community fits perfectly with this campaign's message of being all about confidence, comfort and feeling like you're doing your best. That's exactly how I felt when I shot it.
