Although Olivia Dunne is followed by millions on her TikTok and Instagram accounts, she also has to face the dark side of being a celebrity. The 20-year-old often comes under heavy criticism for her pictures and gymnastics abilities.

However, the young gymnast has a way to smartly deal with the negativity on her social media. In her recent interview with Elle, Dunne revealed that she believes that people will always throw shade at women doing well in their lives. She revealed how she utilizes criticism in her path to success.

“I don’t want to say ‘F you', but the best way to get that to stop is to keep being successful at what you’re doing, because your success and love for what you do will outshine any of that,” Dunne said.
