LSU star gymnast Olivia Dunne is no stranger to public attention, but a recent interview from Super Bowl weekend has sparked unexpected criticism.
Social media users began to mock the LSU gymnast and top NIL earner after her response to a question about her college coursework.
During an interview at Super Bowl LIX at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Dunne was asked, “What’s the hardest class you’re taking in college right now?”
Olivia Dunne, who is in her fifth year at LSU due to extended NCAA eligibility rules, hesitated briefly before responding: “Oh man, I’m taking two classes, ummmm, both in technology management.”
The interviewer then asked Dunne why she was taking only two courses. Dunne explained that she had already completed her bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies.
“I need to take them to be eligible to compete,” she stated.
Many fans mocked her, calling her answer “dumb” and questioning her academic commitments.
Olivia Dunne Does Not Attend Classes In Person Any Longer
LSU star gymnast Olivia Dunne is currently in the midst of her final year in college.
Do not expect to ever see her on campus because she has been taking online classes for quite some time.
Dunne may have the fame and fortune to last a lifetime, but that spotlight also comes with its struggles.
In 2023, during an interview with Elle’s Kayla Webley Adler, Dunne revealed she could not attend in-person classes on the LSU campus due to safety concerns.
“There were some scares in the past, and I just want to be as careful as possible,” Dunne, who takes classes online, said. “I don’t want people to know my daily schedule and where I am.”
One of the incidents that paved the way to make this decision occurred at LSU’s opening meet of the 2023 season at the University of Utah, where some gymnasts were allegedly harassed by a group of men who “demanded to see” Dunne.
According to Adler, a group of 100 to 200 men “chanted wildly during the competition, disrupting the performance of other gymnasts.”
VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”
Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts
During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.
The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.
This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.
One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.
He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.
He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
