Overview

• On the June 30 episode of Armchair Expert, Munn publicly confirmed her trichotillomania manifests as a compulsion to pull out her eyelashes.
• She traced the disorder’s onset to reading critical comments under a paparazzi photo taken outside Chris Pine’s apartment in late 2009.
• The triggering image showed Munn leaving Pine’s home in a deliberately outlandish prom dress for a Daily Show event, which prompted tabloid speculation about her appearance.
• Munn and Pine, who dated for several months in late 2009 into early 2010, recently reconnected at the SNL 50 gala and later caught up in an airport lounge.
• According to the Mayo Clinic, trichotillomania involves frequent and irresistible urges to pull hair, and Munn’s disclosure aims to reduce stigma around the disorder.
