Panicked ESPN star issues urgent message to her social media followers
Anyone receiving monetary requests from someone claiming to be ESPN's Erin Dolan should disregard the message because it's bogus, the glamorous sports betting analyst said on Thursday. Social media users have complained about being solicited by someone claiming to be Dolan, who has now released a statement in an attempt to thwart the apparent phishing schemes. 'Alright. Enough is enough,' Dolan wrote on Instagram. 'I have TikTok, Instagram and Twitter @erinkatedolan. All verified. That's it. 'I would never reach out to anyone for money. I would never sell photos or videos. I would never speak to strangers on the phone. Despite turning off my DMs to not intake this nonsense, people still find a way to reach out letting me know these things are happening. I assure you, it's not me. It's called AI. Welcome to 2025.' Dolan has around 600,000 social media followers across multiple platforms. Yet, outside of some selfies, work-related post and her bombshell February revelation that she's dating a MLB star, she's never solicited money from followers. And she's not the first sports media personality to deal with impersonators. Golfer and social media influencer Paige Spirant has also warned her followers to avoid anyone soliciting money under her name. Dolan has enjoyed a meteoric rise at ESPN since coming over from FanDuel in 2022. Since then, the 28-year-old Penn State alum has signed a multiyear deal to serve as a gambling analyst and podcaster for the Worldwide Leader. These days she's a regular on both 'ESPN BET Live' as well as ESPN's NFL pre-game show, 'Sunday NFL Countdown,' Impressively, she is the first woman to receive the Philadelphia Broadcasters Foundation's Harry Kalas Award after coming up in the city's local media scene with PHL17. Dolan also revealed earlier this year that she's dating Philadelphia Phillies slugger Alec Bohm.
