The former LSU gymnast shared the experience in a TikTok video on Monday, calling on those responsible to stop obtaining her flight information and confronting her while she travels.The incident has sparked concerns about the growing problem of celebrity stalking and aggressive autograph resellers. Dunne said the encounter happened after she returned from a family vacation and explained that, despite having security available, she should not have to alter how she travels simply because strangers refuse to respect personal boundaries.Olivia Dunne reveals scary details of men stalking her at airportDunne posted footage of the group, many of whom immediately shielded their faces after spotting the camera. Image via: Olivia Dunne/ TikTokOlivia Dunne addressed the situation directly in her video, describing what she says has become a recurring pattern involving people purchasing refundable airline tickets to pass through airport security and wait for her at arrival gates."To the people still selling my flight information, stalking me at the airports, and buying refundable plane tickets to go through security to meet me at my gate. Can you please stop?"I don't want to get anyone in trouble, but I want to share what it's like from my perspective."Later, she included footage showing groups of men waiting inside the terminal carrying photographs for her to sign. According to Dunne, the interactions are not driven by genuine fandom but by profit, with signed memorabilia later being resold.During one exchange captured on video, she questioned why the group continued following her despite her visible discomfort. She later explained what separated this encounter from previous autograph requests."You guys aren't fans, you're professionals, you're recording me on Meta glasses, getting my autograph, and you're gonna sell it, which is fine."But last night I didn't feel safe at the airport, and if I wasn't coming back from family vacation and my sister didn't stop these people from coming into the women's bathroom, then I don't know what I would have done."I do have security, and I could fly private, but I guess my point is, should a woman have to change her behavior because men can't handle the word no? That's my point."Her comments drew attention not only because of the seriousness of the allegations but also because she distinguished between legitimate supporters and organized autograph resellers. Dunne made clear that she is not objecting to signed memorabilia being sold. Instead, she said the issue is feeling unsafe while simply trying to travel with her family.Why Dunne says the airport incidents have become a safety issueOlivia Dunne.

She first built a massive audience on TikTok during the pandemic before helping LSU capture the NCAA gymnastics national championship in 2024. Since retiring from collegiate competition, she has transitioned into modeling and brand partnerships while remaining one of the most recognizable figures in women's sports.Her relationship with Skenes has also placed her in an even brighter spotlight. The Pirates right-hander became the No. 1 overall selection in the 2023 MLB Draft before quickly emerging as one of baseball's brightest young stars. In one clip from Dunne's video, one of the men waiting for her is seen wearing a Pirates jersey, highlighting the overlap between her public profile and Skenes' growing popularity.Despite acknowledging that she has access to private security and the financial ability to fly privately, Dunne questioned why those precautions should become necessary simply to avoid harassment.
