Olivia “Livvy” Dunne has issued a tearful and urgent call for change after being relentlessly followed and harassed by a group of aggressive autograph seekers who’ve learned to track her movements through airports across the country.
In a TikTok video shared with her eight million followers on Friday, Dunne revealed she’s been brought to tears by the anxiety and fear caused by the group, whom she described as “rabid” and unrelenting.
The LSU gymnast alum didn’t mince words when describing the disturbing behavior she’s been subjected to during what should be routine travel.
“I fear that I’m being stalked and I don’t know what to do,” Dunne said in the emotional clip, which was captioned, “They know time, place, airport, everything!!!”
Dunne said the situation has gotten out of hand. The group reportedly chases her down in public, sometimes carrying stacks of 40 or more photos and magazines, demanding she sign them. These aren’t just fans-these are professional autograph hounds, and Dunne says they’ve gone far beyond what anyone should consider acceptable.
“They will run after me down the TSA precheck line and yell at me if I don’t give them my autograph,” she explained. “It’s insane. They will yell at me and make a scene and the people around me are scared.”
Dunne says she’s being tracked
While Dunne is no stranger to public attention, she insists the stalker-like nature of this particular group is more calculated and disturbing than your average celebrity run-in.
Despite her own awareness of being “chronically online,” Dunne said these men are somehow finding her even when she hasn’t shared her location.
“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 even suspects an insider leak from the airline industry may be helping these men pinpoint her arrival times.
“They’re waiting there. It’s something with the airline, and it’s weird,” she said, suggesting this could be more than a coincidence.
Included in her TikTok was footage of herself inside a car, visibly crying after a particularly jarring experience following a red-eye flight. She explained that the men had “circled” her at baggage claim, creating a threatening and uncomfortable environment while she waited to retrieve her luggage.
