Gymnast Olivia Dunne's Fans Force LSU to Up Security
Olivia Dunne is the most popular gymnast in America. The LSU star is a TikTok influencer with 6.8 million followers and is the highest-earning woman in collegiate athletics. So when the Tigers compete, meets have a tendency to turn into madhouses. Her fans have repeatedly disrupted events. As a result LSU is increasing security at its events.
Dunne responded to the repeated disruptions by asking her fans to be respectful of other gymnasts.
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❤️

The 20-year-old is a junior at LSU and is incredibly active on all her social media accounts. She currently has 3 million Instagram followers and posts about once a week. Some are gymnastics-related, others are the typical shots you'd expect from a 20-something college student.
Dunne has gotten so popular she was even at the ESPYs in 2022.
Dunne is currently injured and out of LSU's lineup but her fans are showing up regardless. Hopefully they calm down a bit and don't disrupt any more meets.
