In the age of TikTok and viral drama, influencers find themselves mostly under the public spotlight. In that series, gymnast Olivia Dunne has been involved in an online rivalry with the influencer Breckie Hill since last year. What must have happened between these two?
The feud between gymnast Olivia Dunne and influencer Breckie Hill has been going on since 2013 (the exact reason is not clear). Hill once uploaded a video on TikTok using a filter that helped her to reach ‘Rizz level’ and get her ‘Rizz god’ status. She didn’t stop there and posted the same with the caption, “Proof of Rizz is better than Livvy’s.” Why the comparison with Dunne, you may ask?
People noticed that Dunne and Hill have many similarities, and when this comparison started happening, Hill started posting more like Dunne. Hill even posted her video in a Pittsburgh Pirates jersey and tagged Dunne’s boyfriend Paul Skenes, with a heart emoji. Talk about throwing it on your face! However, the feud between them simmered down when Dunne didn’t respond to the post that had Skenes tagged in it. But this is 2024—and how exactly is this relevant now?

The feud between Livvy and Hill has sparked up again, as Olivia Dunne posted a cryptic TikTok video of her nodding and smiling, with the text, “When her true colors are finally revealed in the national media.” One user even asked, “Is this about the TikToker he cheated with (that’s been reposting videos about it)?” and Dunne responded in affirmation. But what does this recent video of Dunne depict?
Though it is not clear or confirmed, it is somewhere related to the breakup of Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan. Is Livvy hinting that Hill just might be the one behind Sabrina Carpenter’s breakup? When award-winning actor Barry Keoghan and pop sensation Sabrina parted ways a few days ago, there were rumors of Keoghan cheating on Carpenter with Breckie, who has made quite the name for herself as the said “TikTok influencer.” To spice the rumors up, Hill has often posted videos that hint that it’s her with whom Keoghan has been cheating. However, there is no such confirmation about the same. And this is where Olivia Dunne comes into play.
Dunne’s ‘nemesis’ posted videos on TikTok that made netizens speculate that Keoghan is cheating on Carpenter with her, the reason being that the woman with Keoghan was with, identified as a blonde, LA-based influencer with a huge fan following on TikTok. Now, Dunne’s video, which coincided with rumors of Barry Keoghan’s alleged involvement outside his relationship with Sabrina Carpenter, so close to their time of breakup, has fans buzzing the rumor mill up high. As the whispers about betrayal, mimicry, and media manipulation got louder, the online world was very quick to pick sides, turning this into TikTok’s most talked-about feud.
‘Breckie is Tragic’: Olivia Dunne’s fans are critcizing Hill
The ongoing feud between Dunne and Hill has reached new heights with Dunne’s recent TikTok post related to the Keoghan-Carpenter breakup. Fans are backing Dunne, slamming Hill, and calling her an attention-seeker. One user remarked, “I thought that other girl was milking the rumor for attention, but now I’m starting to think it’s true.” According to People magazine, Keoghan and Carpenter parted ways as they both were busy with their careers.
Another chimed in, “Dookie Hill has been milking this for the publicity ever since it broke. She is an ‘influencer’ who will jump at any opportunity to get her name out there, and it seems to be working.” The sentiment suggests that Hill’s actions are more about gaining attention and less about genuine involvement in the drama. Hill started the online rivalry by taking Dunne’s name and trying to demean her. As she wrote, “Proof of Rizz is better than Livvy’s.”

Fans have also called out Hill’s alleged pattern of mimicking Dunne, which many see as a desperate attempt to stay relevant. Comments like, “Imagine being known as that kind of person. Breckie is tragic,” and “We need to stop talking about B. Hill; this is exactly what she wants. She’s nothing but a liar chasing relevance,” showing frustration over Hill’s actions. When Dunne didn’t react to Hill’s post on her boyfriend Paul Skenes, netizens thought that the feud was over. Hill again took the chance of publicity when Hill called Dunne a b***h on a podcast.

While some are even mocking Breckie Hill and taking jibes at her name. As one of them commented, “I’ve never heard of this person and I can’t make my mind process this as a name, it’s just slang for breakfast to me lol.” Clearly, netizens are trusting Olivia Dunne, and a lot of them don’t even know about Hill and her existence—she has 4.3 million followers on TikTok and counts in the top 1 percent of the app’s creators.
Hill’s rumored role in the Keoghan-Carpenter split only adds fuel to the fire, and some fans are urging others to stop giving importance to Hill. Only time will tell when this social media war will end.
