FERTILITY ON ICE
Olivia Munn (37) was once again talking about egg freezing at Sunday’s Oscars after-party. The actress had her eggs frozen in her early 30s and she regularly enthuses about the procedure, describing it as something “every girl” should do.
Her close friend Kim Kardashian gave her the lowdown on the procedure, she revealed in the recent interview. “I was able to just store a ton,” she added.
It’s wonderful that Munn
(right) is so open about egg freezing but the truth, as any woman who has been down that road will tell you, is that the process is physically and emotionally demanding, expensive and unpredictable.
It’s not a lunchtime treatment that you pencil in after a vampire facial and before a SoulCycle class. It’s not as simple as renting out a safety deposit box or taking out an insurance policy. Celebrities like Munn make egg freezing sound easy, breezy and accessible, but in their rush to appear self-empowered and independent, they ought to be more honest about what it entails.
