Olivia Dunne’s feud with New York Times
As Olivia Dunne climbed the ladder of success in 2022, she rose to immense stardom for her glamorous looks and gymnastics skills. Soon, she received the opportunity to attend a telephonic interview with the prestigious New York Times.
However, the experience did not go down as per Dunne’s expectations. When the interview was released by the publication in November 2022, it was titled, “New Endorsements for College Athletes Resurface an Old Concern: S*x Sells.” Moreover, the writer criticized Olivia Dunne for profiting from her good looks.
Disappointed by the outcome of the interview, Dunne hit back immediately by posting a leotard-clad picture on her Instagram and tagging the New York Times, asking sarcastically, "@Nytimes is this too much?"
In June this year, the gymnast revealed that there was a silver lining for her from all the drama with the New York Times. On the "Full Send Podcast" (h/t Marca), Livvy revealed that her courageous and strong stance against the publication impressed Sports Illustrated to a great extent. It made the magazine approach her as their new swimsuit model.
