Olivia Dunne goes on a rant after an intrusive fan attacks her senior year decision

Olivia Dunne is usually the fan favorite across social media, but as with anything in this twisted world, there's always someone trying to bring down a powerful woman like Livvy.

Normally, we see Livvy glowing with positivity, always upbeat and bubbly on her platforms. But when the comments on her senior year decisions started hitting a new low, they really tested her patience, eventually pushing her to speak out. And when she did, she didn't hold back.

Livvy finally hits back after being pushed too far

Dunne left no stone unturned, clearly frustrated by the unwarranted attacks. Once again, a female athlete found herself having to defend her success in public from people who just can't stand to see women thrive in their chosen fields.

Livvy knows she's a target for those who believe she doesn't deserve her place at LSU. Many have criticized her for choosing to spend another year in college and even more have questioned why she's coming back if she's just dealing with an injury. But here's the reality: anyone who truly understands the sacrifice it takes to dedicate your life to a sport-one that may not carry you into a professional career-knows that you hold on to that dream for as long as you can. Especially when a global pandemic cost you a precious year of your athletic journey.

More than just an injury

The injury that's sidelined Dunne has kept her out of competitions she never wanted to miss, but injuries are an unfortunate part of the sport. They're often beyond an athlete's control, and when it's no longer in their hands, all that's left is to sit on the sidelines and heal.

And that's exactly what Olivia made clear-she's tired of the endless, unfortunate comments she's had to endure simply for being a successful female athlete. She's asking for the respect to live her life on her , with full awareness of the consequences those decisions bring, and a call for others to let her be.
