Olivia Dunne Claps Back at Troll Who Made Fun of Her Armpit Sweat During Pirates-Reds Game
The girlfriend of Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes, went viral over the weekend as she was shown looking tense and sweaty as she cheered him on as the Pirates visited Cincinnati. It was a close game, going for 11 innings with the Pirates escaping Cincinnati with a 3-4 victory over the Reds, and cameras repeatedly panned to the tense-looking Olivia Dunne as she looked worried for her boyfriend’s team.
Dunne was sweating so much because of worrying over the Pirates that she had some armpit stains, with some photos of her at the VIP booth not looking flattering at all. This led to some trolls poking fun at her expense on social media, with some even commenting about it on her TikTok page. Here is that unflattering image:

Some fans would not let go of this, invading her TikTok, with one fan writing:
“You pit the ‘pit’ in Pittsburgh,” said the fan.
However, Olivia Dunne replied and clapped back, saying:
“You’d break a sweat too being a Pirates fan,” she said.
Unfortunately for Dunne and her boyfriend, Paul Skenes, the Pirates, who have been chasing that wild card spot in the playoffs, did not make it to contention and have effectively been eliminated. They are currently 70-90 this season and have not yet made the playoffs since 2015.
