As Paste Magazine details, following John Mulaney's big reveal that he's expecting a baby with Olivia Munn, Twitter has been rife with "people revealing their unhealthy parasocial obsession" with the comedian. This includes, but is not limited to, those outraged on behalf of Anna Marie Tendler, Mulaney's ex-wife, as well as fans who feel betrayed that Mulaney is having a baby after claiming he didn't want kids (via the Daily Dot). Some people are turning the comedian "into a symbol for every time any man has ever mistreated any woman." 

As Paste argues, "social media strips away context, makes nuance almost impossible, amplifies the angriest and loudest voices, and makes everybody hate each other, while also making people think they know each other way more than they actually do." Mulaney is known for being forthright in his stand-up act in particular, which makes fans believe they know him better than they actually do. He also shared glimpses into his life on social media, which those same fans are now using against the comedian to complain that they were misled in some way. The timeline suggests Mulaney and Tendler were already separated when he began seeing Munn, so really, there's no scandal here except the one being actively created on Twitter.
