Justin had one arm around Dunne?s shoulders and the other held up in a ?L? sign. Dunne had also made the same ?L? sign to signify their support for the LSU Tigers.

This could have been avoided had social media taken stock of the truth. After all, this isn’t the first time that Dunne has come out in support of her alma mater.
Recently, she posted a snap of herself cheering the tigers at a competition wearing a jacket with the same phrase, “Geaux Tigers!” Hope this rumor has not affected any of the victims caught up in it.
