Olivia “Livvy” Dunne revealed she was reduced to tears when she was hounded by a group of rabid autograph hunters who track her down at airports around the country.

“I fear that I’m being stalked and I don’t know what to do,” the LSU gymnast alum said in a TikTok video on Friday, captioned “They know time, place, airport, everything!!!”

Dunne, who landed one of the four Sports Illustrated Swimsuit covers for the 2025 issue, recalled that she often sees a group of “at least 10 middle-aged men” demanding her to sign “a stack of 40 pictures or magazines.”

“They will run after me down the TSA precheck line and yell at me if I don’t give them my autograph,” she told her eight million followers. “It’s insane. They will yell at me and make a scene and the people around me are scared.”

Dunne claims her “stalkers” know her every trip and will be waiting for her regardless of her plans, including a business trip or a family vacation.

“They’re waiting there,” she said. “It’s something with the airline, and it’s weird.”

She prefaced her situation that the men would find her in odd locations around the country.

“Yes I know I’m chronically online and I post my life, but I’m talking about like a 20-minute connecting flight through Omaha, Nebraska, they would be waiting there,” she said. “I’m not making content on a connecting flight. I’m talking about the most random cities.”

Dunne included a clip of herself from earlier in the day inside a car, crying after an unsettling event she faced after a red-eye flight.

Dunne says the group had “circled” the MLB WAG as she waited at baggage claim at the undisclosed airport.

On Thursday, she shared a picture of herself and Pittsburgh Pirates boyfriend Paul Skenes sitting together on a private jet.

Dunne said she wasn’t the only one to experience the traumatic celebrity treatment while out in public, referring to Olympic sprinter Gabby Thomas’ recent problems with the autograph hounds.

“It’s not only me, I remember Gabby Thomas made a video about this and it needs to stop because it’s scary for girls, it’s weird,” Dunne said.

Thomas praised Dunne for speaking out over the frightening encounters.

“Girl!! So sad that because we’re good at what we do people feel like they should have constant access to us and give us travel anxiety. glad you’re speaking up too,” Thomas commented.

The Olympic gold medalist said she has a group of up to six middle-aged men hounding her for autographs while she’s in public, saying one time they got aggressive with her after she denied them access.

“At this point, every time I travel I’m afraid that these men, it’s three to six of them, middle-aged, are going to show up and harass me. And it doesn’t matter what city — they’ve come when I was traveling to and from Chicago, they’ve come when I was traveling to and from Miami and they have my flight information,” Thomas said in a TikTok video posted in January.

“What scares me is that they have my flight information, even when I don’t even know what time I’m flying out sometimes. I don’t tell anyone my flight information. I’ve changed all my email passwords. I don’t know if they’re hacking me. But they get really aggressive and hostile if I say no and when I’m by myself, it’s really scary,” Thomas added.
