Former artistic gymnast for the LSU Tigers, Olivia Dunne, recently had a day out with her friend Lily Chee. Dunne, who boasts over 5.4 million followers on Instagram alone, often puts up her life updates on social media.
This time, Dunne went to a beach in New Jersey with Chee. She posted multiple pictures from her day out at Monmouth Beach on her Instagram story, and can be seen wearing a cheetah print bikini.
In the first picture, Dunne and Chee posed with their backs facing the camera as a wave hit them. In the second picture, which was originally uploaded on Chee’s IG story, and Dunne reposted it, they can be seen smiling at each other. The pictures can be seen below:
Chee is a New York-based actress, model, and social media influencer. As seen on Dunne’s third IG story, they went on a road trip. Sitting in the back of a car, Chee posed for the picture with a bag of Popup Bagels in her hands.
There were other boxes from the same place kept on their seat as well. Dunne captioned her story:
“road trip essentials:”
Chee later reposted the image on her profile with a comment:
“too good @popupbagels [fire emoji]”
In the most recent picture on Chee’s Instagram, the two friends can be seen posing for a picture inside what appeared to be a club.
Olivia Dunne is one of the most popular gymnasts who made millions of dollars during her college stint through NIL deals. After college, she transitioned toward modeling and has already graced several magazine covers.
Dunne is also a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model. Despite all her success, the 22-year-old also faced some harsh trolling and name-calling on the internet.
Olivia Dunne opened up about her struggles
During an appearance on Stephanie McMahon’s “What’s Your Story” podcast, Dunne revealed how she struggled with body image issues due to social media. She said:
“I did have a very big male audience at the beginning of my college career. And that was hard. It was hard to feel like people were watching me, judging me. I’ve definitely have had some problems with some body issues.” (34:48)
Dunne explained that gymnastics is one of the sports where the athlete ends up developing a lot of muscles. Notably, she received a lot of disheartening comments from her male audience.
“When I first started posting, men were like, ‘I do not like those muscles.’ They were calling me a linebacker, they were calling me a football player.”
Dunne struggled to understand why someone would comment on her if they claim to not like what she does. Eventually, she got a grip on how social media works and started ignoring those people. Dunne has been in a long-term relationship with Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes.
