Here are some of the answers from Dunne's Q&A.
Olivia Dunne is now protected by security after University of Utah incident
Being a famous internet personality comes with its pros and cons, and when Olivia Dunne traveled to Utah to compete, she got first-hand experience of the cons.
According to a report from Sports Illustrated, many young men showed up outside the University of Utah building, shouting, “We want Livvy! Give us Livvy!” during other gymnasts’ routines.
Police were called in, and the LSU team bus was eventually forced to move "so they wouldn't run into the group of boys." There were police stationed in front to prevent them from entering.
After that incident, Dunne upgraded her security with the help of LSU.
"Actually, we've got it settled down a bit," Dunne said to People. "We haven't competed since last season, so we'll see what this season holds. But after the incident in Utah that happened last year, we now have a security guard that travels with the LSU gymnastics team."
Olivia Dunne, who is in her senior year, is preparing for the upcoming NCAA season, where she would like to win it all for LSU.
She is dating Paul Skenes, who was picked first overall by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 2023 MLB draft.
