Dunne added that they "run after her" and "yell" at her if she doesn't give them her autograph. She also spoke in the video about other athletes sharing similar experiences, and said it was "scary for girls".

"I think I'm being stalked and I don't know what to do. It's got to the point every single time I go to the airport, there's a group of at least 10 middle-aged men waiting for me, and they harass me."

"It's these men that want my autograph. They have a stack of 40 pictures of me or my magazines and they will run after me down the TSA PreCheck line and yell at me if I don't give them my autograph, it's insane," she said in the video.

She continued:

"My life has revolved around gymnastics. So, honestly, to be able to say yes to more things and potentially maybe do some more performing art stuff on screen — and I'm very excited."
