Livvy Dunne brushes off brutal NYC apartment rejection as she's handed iconic award
Livvy Dunne might have been brutally denied her dream apartment earlier this week but, in typical fashion, the former LSU gymnast has managed to bounce back. It emerged earlier this week that Dunne, 22, had tried to spend big on a three-bedroom co-op in New York City, that was once owned by baseball icon Babe Ruth. Incredibly, though, her $1.59m cash offer was rejected by the building's management, amid reports that current residents were unhappy that she had overshared about the potential purchase. Despite the brutal blow, which went viral on social media, Dunne has landed back on her feet after being named on the prestigious 2025 TIME100 Creators list. Along with the likes of Joe Rogan, Alix Earle and Alex Cooper, Dunne was named in the 'Titans' category of the list. Being named on the list marks a move into the mainstream for Dunne, who's romance with MLB star Paul Skenes has also elevated her public image. The former college gymnast has soared in popularity in recent years over social media and now boasts 5.4 million followers on Instagram alone. Speaking to the outlet, she said: 'It was always a goal of mine to get that blue check mark on Instagram. 'I actually drew it on a piece of paper, cut it out, and stuck it on my mirror.' She added: 'Breaking down barriers and beating everyone's expectations was very fun. The legacy that I'm leaving, I hope it's bigger than me.' Meanwhile, Dunne made headlines this week after sharing the story of how she was brutally denied a New York apartment which she had set her sights on. The ex-LSU gymnastics star told people about her exciting plans and even hired an interior designer because she 'didn't want to bring college furniture to Babe Ruth's apartment'. 'That would be criminal,' she admitted. However, just as she appeared to have landed the historic space, Dunne and boyfriend Paul Skenes were dealt a major blow. 'The week that I'm supposed to get my keys to my brand new apartment, I get a call... the co-op board denied me,' she recalled. 'So pretty much the people in the building voted to not have me live there. Which is fine. 'Honestly, it wasn't financial. For all I know, they could've been Alabama fans and I went to LSU. Like, I have no clue. 'Maybe they didn't want a public figure living there, but I was literally supposed to get the keys, and that week they denied me. 'It was just iconic, it was so cool that it was Babe Ruth's apartment. But long story short, don't try to live in a co-op. You might get denied and you won't get Babe Ruth's apartment.' Ruth's former home, located at 345 W.88th St. in New York City, went back on the market earlier this year.
