"I get really bad backlash"- Olivia Dunne opens up about sharing negative content on social media

Olivia Dunne recently shed light on her thoughts behind posting negative content on social media. Speaking in an interview, Dunne said that she refrains from posting such content because she feels it's out of her domain.

Additionally, Dunne also remarked that she faces a lot of trolling and backlash whenever she posts such content on her social media handles. She said (via What's Your Story? With Steph McMahon, 43:25 onwards):

"I usually don't share negative content, like that's not my avenue. I know some people do that and they share more vulerable staff, which I am learning. I did share a vulnerable moment about people coming to the airport and stalking me down for autographs, and at every single airport, I would go to these people waiting for me and that was like a vulnerable thing for me because every time I try to be vulnerable online, I get really bad backlash."

Further in the conversation, Olivia Dunne remarked that the airport incident she posted about earlier this year was a necessary one for her because the fans were crossing the boundary.
