I read the article. How awesome the she is making $3.5M/year but how awful that creeps rob her of a lot of her freedom. The best and worst of the Internet age. She seems to be handling it well.
The reason she is making that kind of money is the same reason she has lost a lot of her freedom. Gotta take the good with the bad. Had no idea both her parents were RU grads

Yea I read somewhere that her classes are mostly, if not all, online.

She's basically a cupcake in dental floss doing pornothenics for a close camera.
Allison Stokke was higher on the beauty scale than Dunne and she didn't go the cupcake route.

Stokke didn’t get paid though. Dunne is a top ranked gymnast, it’s not like she is just a good looking face. Kudos to her for taking advantage of the opportunity presented

Maybe she can get sodomized on video and "leak it" like Kim K - really roll in the bucks.
Dunne is a good not great gymnast - made AA but no titles
Stokke is pretty much same class
National HS records and title, Freshman records at Cal and made AA.
Her fame inducing photo came at 17 (2007) and photogs started crowding her meets while major papers had blogs about her.
She was freaked-out by it all and retreated from it - still a good vaulter but the progress leveled off

And Stokke is now Mrs Rickie Fowler.

Just like when people complain about playing 3 Top 10 teams every year:

That's what the money is for.

Sorry. What's the connection between the OP (Dunne) and the pole vaulter? I'm confused.

It's still a shame there has to be a "bad" side of this, where she gets stalked and threatened by psychos.

When you put your goods pretty much “all out there,” for a world of whacko teenage boys to “see,” - if you catch my drift - this is a very unfortunate circumstance. Hopefully other collegiate athletes learn a lesson from Livvy moving forward. Social media, as much as I use it, can be pure evil far too often.

Of course but it’s a double edged sword as is any celebrity status. The world is filled with weird people and social media makes it easier for them to fulfill their obsessions

Can't hide from the tiny portion of the public that are weirdos when you are a public figure. Just the consequences of everyone knowing you.

If she posed in nothing but sweatshirts and sweat pants she wouldn’t be making a dime. If her parents didn’t teach her dressing and acting provocatively brings out the undesirables then shame on them. But they’re both well educated, so poor little Livy knew exactly what she is doing and chose the money.

Don't see the attraction to the point someone would stalk. 🤷‍♂️

LSU can have a strange crowd.
Kids there go crazy for the lil chippy.
Ever hear LSU fans chant the "Neck" song with LSU band?
Wonder how media would treat RU if they chanted "Suck that knight's d***k b***h!"

We all know media stars like this will get privately ogled, but I'm talking about the stalkers and psychos who scare the crap out of famous people - these folks don't "deserve" this for being famous (even if some of that fame is from dressing provocatively), which is how you and others are coming across.

Dunne was on front page of NY Post several months ago but when I posted a link to the NY Post cover story, the thread was deleted.

She is from Hillsdale NJ in Bergen County. Didnt know her parents were RU grads either, wish she went here instead of LSU. So many of their meets are on ESPN because of her.

She doesnt necessarily post anything more “modelish” than any other womens sports figure that also has deals with modeling agencies. College girls posting pics at the beach or gynmasts doing tumbles and moves at the beach in their bathing suits means that they should “expect” to be stalked at their games is not something we should be normalizing.

I think what others and myself feel are that, with cases like this and the accompanying fame, the good and the bad are all part of the package. I'm guessing there are very few which believe she deserves to be tormented by stalkers. She is shaking her booty and wearing skimpy outfits to attract attention. The result is the masses will look and interact. Unfortunately, the creepos are part of that. In general (and a little veering from the topic), celebs seeking fame and fortune can't scream out "look at me, look at me", then when things don't go the way they want, beg for privacy. They created their own frenzy and the media/paparazzi and fans will eat it up...good or bad.
