LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne is speaking out on how golf influencer Paige Spiranac helped her when she sought her help after her rise to fame. Becoming famous isn’t a joke and Olivia needed someone who’s already famous to guide her on the DOs and DON’TS of being famous.
The Sun got more;
LOUISIANA State University gymnast Olivia Dunne has sought the advice of another social media influencer to help her deal with the not-so-glamorous side of fame.
The New Jersey native and collegiate gymnast, 20, has shot to notoriety in recent years, but with this fame and fortune came the haters and trolls.
Announced as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model on Thursday, in the accompanying article, Dunne discussed how she has learned to deal with the bullying, with thanks to golf influencer Paige Spiranac.
She said: “People always comment stuff that they would never say to your face, so part of it is just having developed tough skin.
“Social media is hard. That’s something that Paige Spiranac helped me with, just keeping certain parts of your life private.
“Making sure not to post things that, you know, maybe you don’t want people’s feedback on.”
And it’s not just trolling that Dunne has to deal with, but also those who take a stance against her content altogether.
But in her interview with SI, Dunne stood up for herself and her content.
She explained: “I think it’s important to stand up for yourself.
“Maybe it’s the Jersey girl in me, but I think girls needed to know it wasn’t O.K., especially posting things that any other college kid would post in—a leotard—which is the required uniform for being a gymnast. It’s ridiculous.”
While some may question Dunne’s career choices, the simple fact is that they have led her to the Swimsuit edition, something she described as “a dream come true.”
A millionaire by the age of 18 thanks to NIL deals, Dunne now has over 11million followers online and an annual value of $3.5million, per On3.
