LSU gymnastics star Livvy Dunne is calling for respect from her supporters ... after a group of them were seen in a disturbing video parked outside of one her meets wildly screaming for her.
"I will always appreciate and love the support from you guys," said Dunne, who has 6.7 million followers on TikTok,"but if you come to a meet, I want to ask you to please be respectful of the other gymnasts and the gymnastics community as we are just doing our job."
Dunne had interacted with some of the fans at the meet -- after they were seen inside of the stadium holding signs and chanting her name. She took selfies with them, and appeared to thank them for coming. She faced criticism, though, for acknowledging the mob at the arena -- backlash that Dunne's mother said in a tweet on Sunday was completely inappropriate.
"It is not ok to blame any athlete/celebrity when fan behavior crosses the line," Katherine Dunne said."In a sport where all the girls wear nothing but leotards stop suggesting that how Livvy dresses means she deserves this in any way. Stop shaming girls for the behavior of boys."
