Olivia Dunne during her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Debut
Olivia Dunne made her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit debut in 2023 as the highest-paid NCAA female athlete. During her debut year, she became one of the most famous collegiate athletes worldwide due to her huge social media following.
While being a part of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Magazine 2023, she spoke about being judged by people on social media and how she deals with it.
“People always comment stuff that they would never say to your face, so part of it is just having developed tough skin. Social media is hard. That’s something that Paige Spiranac helped me with, just keeping certain parts of your life private. Making sure not to post things that, you know, maybe you don’t want people’s feedback on,” she said.
Moreover, she opened up about being trolled and criticized on social media.
“I think it’s important to stand up for yourself. Maybe it’s the Jersey girl in me, but I think girls needed to know it wasn’t O.K., especially posting things that any other college kid would post in a leotard which is the required uniform for being a gymnast. It’s ridiculous,” Dunne added.
With uncertainties about her return to LSU for a fifth year, fans await an official confirmation from Olivia Dunne.
