Overview

• Olivia “Livvy” Dunne said in a TikTok video that groups of at least ten middle-aged men have waited for her at various U.S. airports and harassed her for autographs, leaving her feeling stalked and unsafe.
• She reported that the incidents occur even at smaller connecting hubs such as Omaha, Nebraska, and speculated that someone at the airline level may be tipping off autograph seekers.
• Olympian Gabby Thomas and tennis star Coco Gauff have shared parallel experiences of being followed and pressured by men at airports, with Thomas recently detailing aggressive confrontations at multiple terminals.
• Dunne capped her May 31 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit runway walk in Miami with a perfect split, later admitting on X that she was “triple dog dared” to perform the move despite shooting her SI cover with a fractured kneecap.
• Since going public, Dunne and fellow athletes have called on airlines and event organizers to implement stricter travel safeguards to protect female athletes from harassment.
