Olivia Dunne Shuts Down Troll Accusing Her of Clinging to Paul Skenes’ Fame After Gymnastics Career Ended

How does Olivia Dunne’s life look now? On a sunlit Saturday, April 6, Olivia Dunne twirled through the white sands of Hutchinson Beach South, not with a gymnast’s focus but with a young woman’s carefree stride. She had just wrapped up her first semester of grad school and shared the update in a breezy TikTok, walking toward a beach bar with the promise of a piña colada. “First semester grad school done, house hunting at the beach, bought a nyc apt, and walking to get a pina colada life is sweet like cinnamon,” she wrote, a nod to Lana Del Rey and the sweet simplicity of her new chapter.

No more chalk dust, no more beam routines—just ocean air, open dreams, and a little real estate sprinkled in. The girl once seen rocking up in leotards and LSU purple was now trading flips for floorplans and making moves—literally. Yet, while Olivia seemed to be living a life curated with equal parts ambition and aesthetic, not everyone was cheering from the sidelines.

Fast forward to May 9. Olivia posted a playful TikTok, impersonating her boyfriend, MLB pitcher Paul Skenes. She mimicked his windup, capped it with her signature hand-folding flair, and wore his baseball cap like a crown. ““You’re so dramatic” literally him pitching,” the on-screen text joked. In the caption, she added with a wink, “Straight gas. #foryou #baseball #mlb #pitcher.” The clip, lighthearted and clearly affectionate, was met with laughs, likes—and, as always, a few hecklers.

One troll slithered into the comments with a sharp jab: “Now that gymnastics and college is over, she will live through her “boyfriends” success.” But Livvy Dunne wasn’t about to let that narrative take root. Her clapback was swift, sharp, and laced with the same confidence she once brought to every tumbling pass: “And you’re definitely chronically on Reddit so who’s rlly winning.” It was classic Dunne—poised, witty, and unbothered.

The report is developing…
