Former LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne in tears over stalking fears: 'I don't know what to do'
Former LSU gymnast Olivia "Livvy" Dunne says she's fearful she's being "stalked" by apparent superfans that seem to know the social media influencer's every move. Dunne, who boasts over 13 million followers across several social media platforms, posted a video on TikTok Friday explaining uncomfortable encounters she continues to have with "middle-aged men" at airports. "I fear that I'm being stalked, and I don't know what to do. It's gotten to the point that every single time I go to the airport there's a group of at least 10 middle-aged men waiting for me, and they harass me," she explained in the video with over a million views. "It's these men that want my autograph," she continued. "They have a stack of like 40 pictures of me or my magazines, and they will run after me down the TSA pre-check line and yell at me if I don't give them my autograph. It's insane." Dunne included a video from her most recent trip to the airport that left her in tears after she claimed they "circled me at the baggage claim and were like in my face." "It's something with the airline, and it's weird," she speculated before adding, "It needs to stop, because it's scary for girls. It's weird." Just last month, Dunne announced the end of her gymnastics career after LSU failed to successfully defend the NCAA championship title. The fifth-year senior did not compete in the competition after she was sidelined in March by an "avulsion fracture" in her patella. Dunne, who is dating Pittsburgh Pirates pitching sensation Paul Skenes, was one of the NCAA's top NIL earners and boasted millions of followers across several social media platforms. She played a role in helping LSU win its first NCAA title last year. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Missed Call Costs Pirates Late; Keller's Quality Start Not Enough in Loss to Padres
This article originally appeared on Henry Davis appeared to have drawn a game-tying walk with the bases loaded in the top of the eighth, but home plate umpire Edwin Jimenez didn't see it that way. Advertisement Jimenez called strike three to end the eighth inning and prevent the Pittsburgh Pirates from tying that game with a chance to do more. Ultimately, the Pirates fell 3-2 to the San Diego Padres at Petco Park on Friday night. How We Got There Mitch Keller retired the first 11 batters he faced before Manny Machado doubled to right with two outs in the fourth. Following the double, Jackson Merrill was credited with an RBI infield single on a ball that shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa couldn't handle.

Dodgers Trade Idea Lands Former Yankees Veteran Isiah Kiner-Falefa
The Los Angeles Dodgers are in first place in the National League West, a promising sign for the team after the injuries they've dealt with. However, after being swept by their cross-town rival, the Los Angeles Angels, the Dodgers hope to turn things around over the next few weeks. It won't be much easier, as they have a series against the Arizona Diamondbacks, New York Mets, Cleveland Guardians, New York Yankees, and the Mets again over the next month. Advertisement Still, Los Angeles is good enough to compete with anybody. Despite being in first place, and the Dodgers looking good on paper, they'll likely make a trade at the deadline. Jason Fray of Dodgers Nation pitched the idea of them trading for Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who used to play for the New York Yankees and is currently with the brutal Pittsburgh Pirates. Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts (30) looks on against the Arizona Diamondbacks during the fifth inning at Chase Camporeale-Imagn Images 'Kiner-Falefa would be an example of the Dodgers working on the fringes. Having said that, he does fit the archetype in what Friedman looks for in a player. 'For one, Kiner-Falefa has immense positional versatility — seemingly a prerequisite for any L.A. position player. He's currently the Pirates' starting shortstop, though the 2020 Gold Glove winner can also play third base, second base, and the outfield. Traditionally, Kiner-Falefa is also a guy who rarely strikes out,' he wrote. Advertisement The Pirates are expected to be sellers at the deadline, and Kiner-Falefa could make sense. He's had parts throughout his career where he looks to be a decent big league player, especially on the defensive side of the baseball. He's never going to impress much with his offensive production, but if he can give the Dodgers a 90-plus OPS+, there could be value in trading for him on the margins.
