One name that has risen in the gymnastics world recently is Olivia Dunne. The 21-year-old sensation has set the world on fire with her impressive skills. Also known as “Livvy,” she has been one of LSU’s biggest names in the past few years. The gymnast also has a huge fan following on social media, further raising her stardom.

On top of all this, she is the highest-paid female athlete in the NCAA due to the Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) policy. All of this has resulted in her rising fame, which has also raised security concerns regarding her. She has also stopped attending classes on campus and later revealed her reason for doing so.

I had a scare once with a message that I got about a class I was going to, and I was like, you know what, it’s not worth it. It was a threat. It seemed like they knew where I was... and I just decided better safe than sorry.

The major reason for this has been the death threats she has received on her social media handles. While being stalked, one stalker of her threatened to “shoot up” the LSU campus. The organization has taken this threat seriously and has initiated measures to prevent anything from happening.

After the incident in Utah that happened last year, we now have a security guard that travels with the LSU gymnastics team.
