Social media personality and former LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne has publicly voiced her fear and discomfort regarding individuals who have allegedly stalked her at airports. Dunne shared videos on her TikTok account showcasing groups of men holding pictures of her and waiting for her arrival in airport terminals, stating that these encounters made her feel unsafe.
In one video posted Monday, Dunne questioned whether women should have to alter their behavior because men do not respect the word "no." She recounted an incident where individuals attempted to follow her into the women's restroom after a flight, an encounter that was reportedly stopped by her family members.
Dunne, who has a significant following on TikTok and was part of LSU's national championship-winning gymnastics team in 2024, stated that she does not wish to identify individuals but aims to share her experience. She clarified that while she has security and the option to fly privately, she believes she should not have to change her routine or travel arrangements simply to feel secure in public spaces, particularly when returning from family vacations.
Dunne suggested that the individuals encountered at airports are primarily seeking autographs with the intention of selling them. One of the men depicted in her video was reportedly wearing a Pittsburgh Pirates jersey, a team associated with her partner, Paul Skenes, who previously played for LSU. Dunne initially gained widespread attention in 2020 through her TikTok content and has since expanded her presence as a model and social media influencer.
