Gymnast Olivia Dunne of Louisiana State University, aka LSU Olivia Dunne, to an unfavorable statement made on one of her TikTok clips.
The 20-year-old Woman replied to the crude insult by posting a clip in which she declares: ‘No, I’m not going to crush your skull with my thighs. Also, I’m not your mommy.’
Just a few weeks have passed since Dunne spoke out about the “concerning” behavior of male spectators at meetings and tournaments. She also mentioned the “threatening” remarks she sometimes gets internet.
In the past year, the collegiate player and TikTok celebrity have amassed a sizable fan base, but in the latest months, she has spoken out publicly about the unpleasant abuse that came with it.
As “rude” adolescent males attempted to swarm Dunne during a tournament in Utah in January, LSU announced that the squad had recruited more protection.
During the Today program, Dunne stated, ‘They gave us some new rules, just to keep us safe: Not to go into the stands after meets and we have a new security person that travels with us ‘.
Her trainers have voiced worries about her protection before the current event involving the Utah fans. In addition, she stated that LSU called the police the previous year “about an event,” but she withheld any further information.

‘As a woman, you are not responsible for how a man looks at you and objectifies you. That’s not a woman’s responsibility,’ she stated.
Her enormous social mainstream press fame has compelled her and her trainers to enact new guidelines regarding gymnast protection.
Dunne’s LSU coach Jay Clark stated, ‘[Social media] changes everything,’. Also added that ‘It creates a false sense of accessibility and familiarity that [makes] followers feel as though there’s a personal connection.’
This was demonstrated at the LSU competition in Utah.
‘So, in the past, I have had some of my supporters come out to meets and watch and cheer for LSU, but that was insane. It really was,’ Olivia spoke of the upsetting event.
On her Twitter account at the time, Olivia made a private appeal to her followers to “be respectful” to her other athletes.
She composed, ‘I will always appreciate and love the support from you guys, but if you come to a meet, I want to ask you to please be respectful of the other gymnasts and the gymnastics community as we are just doing our job.”
