Livvy Dunne puts stalker hell behind her for jaw-dropping catwalk move at Miami Sports Illustrated show
Livvy Dunne made her runway debut on Saturday night - and stunned attendees of a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Party with a big move to finish her walk. Dunne, who became a cover star for this year's edition of SI Swimsuit - was given the honor of opening the fashion show and graced the catwalk in two different looks And the former gymnast left the crowd in shock at one point when she effortlessly performed a split. The move earned massive cheers from those in attendance at the Miami party before Dunne raised her arms and twirled around. Dunne, the NIL star at LSU who announced her retirement from gymnastics earlier this year, re-posted several moments from the show to her Instagram story, and also revealed she had only found out about her opening spot just hours before the show. Dunne's sister, Julz, posted a photo of a stunned Livvy with her hand over her mouth after finding out the news. 'the face of a girl who just found out... she's opening the show!,' Julz captioned the Instagram story. Dunne, who recently attended an SI Swimsuit Party in New York as well, called being a cover girl a 'dream come true' when her cover was released last month. On Saturday, she walked for the show in two different looks, first pairing a zebra print pair of bottoms with a white cut-off t-shirt, before she performed her stunning split in a black polka dot bathing suit. However, her success with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit comes amid her disturbing claim that she is being stalked by a group of middle-aged men at airports across America. The 22-year-old made the shock allegations in a TikTok video posted on Friday night. Dunne said the group of men harass her for an autograph, and even claimed they 'run after me' through security and will 'yell at me' if she doesn't sign their items. Speaking directly to the camera, Dunne said: 'I think I'm being stalked and I don't know what to do. It's got to the point 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. 'It's these men that want my autograph. They have a stack of 40 pictures of me or my magazines and they will run after me down the TSA PreCheck line and yell at me if I don't give them my autograph, it's insane. A tearful Dunne claimed she is being stalked by a group of middle-aged men at airports 'But they will yell at me and make a scene and the people around me are scared. It's crazy. Even this morning was a terrible experience.' Dunne then showed a video of her crying in what looked to be the back of a taxi leaving an airport. She continued: 'This is me literally crying, fresh off a red eye at 6am. They circled me at the baggage claim and were in my face. It's not only when I'm going to big events, it's if I'm going on family vacation, they're waiting there. 'It's something with the airline and it's weird and my parents are like "what the f***?" 'The worst part is, it's not only me. I remember Gabby Thomas made a video about this and it needs to stop because it's scary for girls. It's weird.
