Olivia Dunne recalled a controversial article about her that was published in the New York Times in 2022. The article was titled, "New Endorsements for College Athletes Resurface an Old Concern: Sex Sells."

In a recent conversation with Fox News, the former LSU gymnast addressed this issue as she remarked,

"They came to our gymnastics facility at LSU, took pictures of me. They said, ‘Wear your team-issued attire, put on a leotard,' and they took a picture of me standing in front of the beam, like any gymnast would, and then they blew it up on the screen and put the headline, ‘Sex Sells.'

However, Olivia Dunne didn't take this lying down. She further added,

"I decided I was going to put that same picture that they posted and captioned ‘sex sells’ on my Instagram story and write, ‘At The New York Times, is this too much?’ Because, come on, you know what you're doing. You just put a picture of me in a leotard for clicks and then caption it 'sex sells.'

Olivia Dunne represented the LSU Tigers as a gymnast from 2020 to the 2025 season. She had led her team to its first-ever NCAA Championship title the previous year.
