Former LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne tearfully shares fears of being stalked by fans at airports, highlighting the challenges of fame.

Former LSU gymnast Olivia "Livvy" Dunne is grappling with fear and frustration as she faces persistent harassment from overzealous fans. The social media sensation, with over 13 million followers, recently shared a tearful TikTok video detailing unsettling encounters with groups of middle-aged men at airports.

"I’m scared I’m being stalked," Dunne said, describing how these fans, often wielding stacks of her photos or magazines, chase her through airport security lines demanding autographs. "They’ll yell at me if I don’t stop," she added, recounting a recent incident where a group surrounded her at baggage claim, leaving her shaken.

Dunne, who recently retired from gymnastics after an injury sidelined her from LSU’s NCAA championship run, called the behavior "scary" and urged for it to stop. "It’s weird, especially for girls," she said, hinting at possible issues with airline protocols that may enable such incidents.

Known for her role in LSU’s historic NCAA title win and as one of the top NIL earners, Dunne’s fame has brought both admiration and unwanted attention. Her story shines a light on the darker side of celebrity, where boundaries are too often crossed.

Editor's Comments

Livvy Dunne’s airport ordeal is no joke—unless you’re the kind of fan who thinks ‘autograph’ is code for ‘chase her like she’s the last plane out of LaGuardia.’ Fame’s a double-edged sword, but nobody signed up for a baggage claim ambush. Time for airports to tighten up security before these ‘superfans’ turn fandom into a full-contact sport.
