Sydney Smith's beef with Olivia Dunne

The origin of the beef between Sydney Smith and Olivia Dunne started months ago in an apparently innocent manner.

Smith took the side of another perceived rival to Olivia Dunne, Breckie Hill. Hill was referenced by the LSU athlete when she claimed that women with big breasts were not likely to be successful gymnasts.

"I don't know why this was brought up in the first place, but it kinda made me laugh, because that's just not true at all, It’s been kind of toxic because girls have felt like they need to look a certain way to be good at the sport,” Smith said.

Smith went on to gain notoriety due to her racy pictures on social media and also due to her simmering beef with LSU superstar Olivia Dunne.

In August when Dunne did a backflip at a beach captioning it #Beachnastics, Smith immediately accused her of plagiarism.

"This is like the second, third time you've copied me. I mean I love my fans and all don't get me wrong. I don't care when people copy me. But I feel like I should get some credit for my creativity," Smith said on a TikTok video.

With 2.2 million followers on TikTok and 483,000 followers on Instagram, Smith has a considerable social media presence, which fuels the stan wars against Olivia Dunne who has almost 13 million combined followers.

Their unique relationship seems to benefit them both, as it amplifies their profiles on social media and gains the pair even more followers, which is a win-win situation.
