revealed how a paparazzi photo with her ex-boyfriend, Chris Pine, triggered a specific mental disorder. The actor recently appeared on Dax Shepard's 'Armchair Expert' podcast when she spoke about the condition, Trichotillomania, and what set it off.

She then shared the backstory dating back to 2009 and early 2010 when she dated Pine and how a tabloid shot caused the disorder. Olivia Munn revealed she suffers from a not-so-well-known disorder called trichotillomania and how a photo with her ex Chris Pine triggered it. In the 'Armchair Expert' podcast episode, Dax Shepard brought up the subject when he recalled their first meeting. He remembered Munn telling him about her condition when she would pull her eyebrows. But she clarified that it was her eyelashes and explained how it's 'basically people pulling hair' and feeling a 'sensation.' The actor shared her experience with the mental health condition. 'It's probably not even real, but I'll feel like, oh, this eyelash feels like it's gonna come out,' she told the hosts Shepard and Monica Padman. Munn explained the feeling of 'a quick second of pain,' a sense of 'satisfaction,' and 'immediate regret' she feels afterwards. She then disclosed the first time she experienced it when dating Pine between 2009 and 2010. The mom of one said she had just left his apartment and encountered paparazzi outside. Olivia Munn revealed that these photos with her ex caused the onset of her mental health disorder. 'I did the horrible thing, which was to read the comments,' she said, emphasizing that the incident occurred 'back in the day.' Munn then remembered one of the remarks, 'I think she set this up. Look who's carrying a clutch during the day.' She claimed the condition appeared for the first time after reading it. According to the Mayo Clinic, Trichotillomania is also known as hair-pulling disorder. It reportedly 'involves frequent, repeated, and irresistible urges to pull out hair from your scalp, eyebrows, or other areas of your body.' Those who suffer from the condition may be able to resist the urges, but they 'can't stop.' Originally reported by Nikita Mahato on Reality Tea.

Olivia Munn opens up about living with trichotillomania
Olivia Munn is opening up about her experience with trichotillomania, a condition often referred to as "hair-pulling disorder." During Monday's episode of the " Armchair Expert" podcast, the actress described the compulsive urge that defines the disorder. "It could be hair at the top of your head, because there's a sensation. It's probably not even real, but I'll feel like, oh, this eyelash feels like it's gonna come out," she explained. "And then when you pull it, there is a quick second of pain. And then there's a satisfaction and an immediate regret." Munn revealed that her struggle with trichotillomania began during her relationship with actor Chris Pine, whom she dated from 2009 to 2010. She said the her symptoms were first triggered by a run-in with paparazzi during their time together. She recalled leaving Pine's apartment one day when photographers, who were waiting outside due to his rising fame from "Star Trek," captured photos of her. Those images quickly made their relationship public. "When it got out, one of my friends was like, 'Hey, you're dating Chris Pine,'" she said. The sudden attention, she explained, became a turning point. "I did the horrible thing, which was to read the comments," Munn said. "This is back in the day, so you don't even know at the time that it's bad." Munn has been candid about her health journey since revealing in 2024 that she was diagnosed with Luminal B breast cancer, which was found in both breasts and led her to undergo to a double mastectomy. Later in May last year, Munn shared that she also underwent a hysterectomy to avoid a cancer treatment medication that may cause severe exhaustion, telling Vogue at the time that it was "the best decision for me because I needed to be present for my family." What to know about trichotillomania Trichotillomania, commonly known as "hair-pulling disorder," was first described in ancient Greece. The term itself, however, was coined in the late 18th century, according to StatPearls, an online medical resource published by the National Library of Medicine. The condition is characterized by the recurrent, compulsive pulling of hair from various parts of the body, which can lead to visible hair loss. Though it may resemble other medical conditions such as alopecia, the hair loss is self-inflicted. Because it can dramatically alter one's appearance, trichotillomania is often accompanied by social stigma. Managing trichotillomania often requires a team that may include a primary care provider, dermatologist, psychiatrist, and licensed clinical psychologist, StatPearls notes. Treatment typically involves therapy especially cognitive behavioral therapy and habit reversal training and may also include medication. The condition can lead to long-term complications. According to StatPearls, individuals who continue to pull hair into adulthood may experience permanent hair loss. In rare cases, those who ingest the hair are at risk of developing a trichobezoar, a hairball that forms in the digestive tract, potentially leading to symptoms such as nausea, abdominal pain and unintended weight loss.

Olivia Munn reveals she's living with Trichotillomania, which makes her pull out her own hair
Actor Olivia Munn has spoken about living with a unique condition: trichotillomania. It is a mental health disorder involving the urge to pull out hair from your scalp, eyebrows or other areas of your body. She says a paparazzi incident during 2009-10 when she was romantically linked to actor Chris Pine, sparked this hair-pulling condition. Olivia Munn ends up pulling her own scalp hair and eyebrows due to a mental health condition.(Instagram/ Olivia Munn) Olivia Munn made this revelation during an episode of the Armchair Expert podcast. Talking about it, she said, "It could be hair at the top of your head, because there's a sensation. It's probably not even real, but I'll feel like, oh, this eyelash feels like it's gonna come out. And then when you pull it, there is a quick second of pain. And then there's a satisfaction and an immediate regret.' Recounting what really sparked the condition, Munn said it was when photographs of her and Chris Pine leaving the latter's apartment together, surfaced online, and she ended up consuming people's reactions. 'I did the horrible thing, which was to read the comments… And they were like, 'I think she set this up!' That began my trichotillomania. That was the very beginning," explained the 'X-Men: Apocalypse' actor. In recent years, the 44-year-old has been open about her health battles. Just a year ago, she had opened up about the diagnosis of a form of breast cancer known as Luminal B cancer. She had to undergo a double mastectomy. She also subsequently underwent hysterectomy as part of her treatment. What is trichotillomania? According to the National Institutes of Health, Trichotillomania leads a person to pull from anywhere on the body repeatedly. It is a part of Obsessive Compulsive Disorders, and is related to anxiety issues. As it may cause hair loss and affect a patient's appearance over time, it is also associated with societal stigma. People with trichotillomania often pull out hair from their scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, or even other body parts. It may happen when they're: Stressed or anxious Simply bored Seeking relief from tension Not even realizing they're doing it For some, like Olivia Munn points out, the act of pulling hair gives a temporary sense of relief or satisfaction. But it is often followed by feelings of shame, guilt, or embarrassment. The long-term side effects of this mental health concern includes permanent hair loss. Research reveals that some individuals may even eat all or portions of the hair. These people may be at risk for a trichobezoar - a mass of swallowed hair in the gastrointestinal tract, per the NIH. Common signs of Trichotillomania While this hair-pulling disorder may go unnoticed in many patients, here are some signs of Trichotillomania which should raise an alarm: Bald patches on the scalp or missing eyelashes/eyebrows Repeated pulling of hair even when trying to stop Spending a lot of time trying to cover up hair loss Feeling stressed or upset if unable to pull hair Avoiding social situations due to appearance Can it be treated? A Trichotillomania patient may consult primary care clinician, a dermatologist, a psychiatrist, and/or a licensed clinical psychologist. It can be managed by therapy techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and habit reversal training, as well as medications.

The 44-year-old actress suffers from the disorder that causes a long-term urge to pull out one's own hair and has always "immediately regretted" doing so but admitted that it all came from the first time she was in the tabloids with then-boyfriend Chris Pine. Speaking on the Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard podcast, she said: "There's a sensation. It's probably not even real, but I'll feel like, 'Oh, this eyelash feels like it's gonna come out,' even though it's not. "And then when you pull it, there was a quick second of pain. And then there's a satisfaction and then immediate regret. "So there was a paparazzi shot of him and I, and it was the first time I was in the tabloids. The former Newsroom star — who is now married to John Mulaney and has Malcolm, three, as well as nine-month-old Mei with him — was shocked at the time because friends thought she had set the whole thing up herself. "They found this old blue prom dress with big pom poms on the side. And I was like, 'Oh, wonder if I can make it into the worst best dressed list? "There were paparazzi outside his house because he had been in Star Trek and all this. And they caught photos of me. I was like, 'Oh my god.' And when it got out, one of my friends was like, 'Hey, you're dating Chris Pine.' "And they were like, 'I think she set this up. Who's carrying a clutch during the day?'

She said: "He is amazing. We were recently at SNL 50, and we're in the airport lounge together, and it was so great to catch up. He's just the best." [[nid:719637]]
