Summary

- She criticized name, image, and likeness deals she called 'paid to play'.
- Dunne established a fund to help female athletes with NIL endorsements.

Social media personality and former LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne has expressed a strong preference against being called an 'influencer.' In a recent interview, Dunne stated she would rather be recognized as a model, a career path she is actively pursuing with appearances on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit runway and cover. Her transition away from collegiate athletics has seen her amass a significant following across platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
Dunne also shared her strong opinions on name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals in collegiate sports, criticizing arrangements she described as 'paid to play,' particularly noting disparities she believes affect women's sports. To address this, she founded the Livvy Fund in 2023, an initiative designed to assist female student-athletes at LSU in securing and benefiting from NIL endorsements.
