Paul Skenes won the Rookie of the Year Award in the National League after a dominant rookie campaign on the mound for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Skenes was a star pitcher at Lousiana State University before being drafted by the Pirates, and that is where he met his girlfriend, Olivia Dunne. She is a star gymnast at LSU, and she will be competing in her final season for the Tigers in 2025.
Paul Skenes has turned into a huge professional sports star and is also in the social media spotlight thanks to Dunne, who has a massive following on social media, and is one of the most recognizable female athletes in the United States. She posted a Tiktok video on January 6th, and it was one of her responses to a comment that attracted a lot of attention.
In the video, Olivia Dunne is trying to promote one of the companies that she represents, and does so by saying,
"I've never told anyone this before but.... I'm addicted to Accelerators." @livvy on TikTok
As expected, that brought more than 100 comments from fans, but one in particular caught Dunne's attention.
After a fan commented, "I am addicted to you," Dunne had a no-nonsense response, following up with:
"I hope you get help soon."
