Livvy Dunne, the former LSU Tigers gymnast and social media superstar, has had enough. In a raw TikTok video, she called out fans who have crossed the line from enthusiastic to downright creepy.
Dunne, who's dating Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes and gearing up to star in the Baywatch remake, travels constantly — for work, family, and to catch Skenes on the road. But lately, her airport experiences have turned into a nightmare.
“To the people still selling my flight information, stalking me at the airports, and buying refundable plane tickets to go through security to meet me at my gate,” she said in the video. “Can you please stop?”
The 21-year-old influencer, who boasts millions of followers, shared clips of herself being swarmed by fans at an airport. In one, she can be heard pleading, “Can we line up? Can we line up? Come on, guys. One for each, please.”
Dunne didn't mince words about the motives behind the harassment. “You guys aren’t fans. You’re professionals,” she said. “You’re recording me on Meta glasses, getting my autograph, and you’re gonna sell it, which is fine, but last night I didn’t feel safe at the airport.”
The situation escalated when a group of men tried to follow her into the women's restroom. “And if I wasn’t coming back from family vacation and my sister didn’t stop these people from coming into the women’s bathroom, I don’t know what I would have done,” she added.
Dunne acknowledged she has the resources to fly private or hire security — but that's not the point. “I guess my point is, does a woman have to change her behavior because men can’t handle the word ‘no’? That’s my point.”
Her frustration echoes a broader conversation about fan behavior in sports and celebrity culture. Recently, Paige Spiranac sounded the alarm on a 'downright nasty' shift in golf fan behavior, while Stephen A. Smith blasted Knicks fans for 'disgusting' behavior after Game 3 arrests. Dunne's plea adds a personal, urgent voice to that conversation.
Despite the attention, Dunne remains focused on her career and relationship. Her unfiltered reaction to Paul Skenes' home run recently went viral, and she's set to bring her star power to the small screen in the Baywatch reboot, after being rejected by 'The White Lotus'.
For now, Dunne's message is clear: fans need to respect boundaries. She doesn't want to get anyone in trouble, but she's done staying silent.
