Livvy crossed two of her milestones this year with Sports Illustrated’s ‘Swimsuit Issue’ and ‘The Money Issue’. Despite her illustrious gymnastic career and sensationalism, Dunne has faced several blows from people.

Not a good ending to the Swimsuit Issue

In May 2023, Olivia ditched her leotards for a couple of gorgeous bikinis. Turning heads and capturing hearts, Livvy transitioned from one pose to another, with sand all over. She expressed extreme delight along with the SI team after a successful shoot. But, the online trolls can’t say the same.
