Dunne, who has been called the most "influential college athlete" boasts 2 million Instagram followers and 6.7 million followers on TikTok. In her tweet last Friday night, she addresses the chaos her fans caused and pleaded with them to tone down their excitement at future events. 



If you're wondering why so many young men are foaming at the mouth to see a gymnastics competition, we have a simple answer, they're underwhelmingly under-socialized. Look at those faces and tell me these young boys are there for anything other than their own self-indulgence. 



Samantha Peszek, an Olympic medalist and former NCAA Champion, called the mob of young boys, "disturbing and cringey." 



The group of young men forced the LSU team bus to take a separate exit and allegedly accosted fellow gymnasts who weren't Olivia barking, "you aren't Livvy, but you will do" demanding they take pictures with them. Police were stationed outside the arena to ensure the mob of boys didn't make it inside, however, if your gymnast idol has to tweet about your lack of respect, it might be time to do some soul-searching.
