Make no mistake, she is super talented, as any D1 athlete is. But if you can't admit she's making 7 figures primarily because of her looks, you're delusional. I'm fine with it, but she is 100% objectifying herself (as many people do on social media).
Unless she's inviting men to stalk her then she's not doing anything different than any other beautiful woman on social media just living their life. Just because a hot guy walks around shirtless and posts it on social media doesn't give me the ok to be creepy?
You are 100% responsible for the image you curate on social media. If you post images objectifying yourself, expect that others will also see you as a sexual object. A lot of athletes that are just as pretty and talented don't have these sorts of issues because they don't post content of this nature. She needs to decide whether she's ok with it, and if she's isn't....change her online image to focus on something other than her looks and body.
some people just post themselves for the sake of posting themselves. but that doesnt mean that they want to be harrassed. yes, the image she posts is her fault. but its not her fault that her "fans" come to the meet and harrass other athletes, thats completly beyond her power. There are other athletes that post their body online, but some get harrassed cause they dont fit the feminine petite body type, cause they have more muscles and buffer arms.
this is not true lol. a lot of attractive women in sports, media,etc get objectified by men regardless of the content they post. She just has it to an extreme since she got all this sudden hype around her.

Theres no denying that Olivia Dunne is very talented and deserves much respect for her skill as a gymnast, but let's keep it 1000, that's not the main reason she's as popular as she is, and thats fine, theres nothing wrong with that either
This is a tough one that kind of goes both ways in my view. It's true that women shouldn't be made responsible for how others act. Just because they dress a certain way doesn't mean they should be subjected to creeps, stalkers etc online. That being said, she posts provocative pics in various skimpy outfits with the knowledge that these sorts of people exist and are watching. That sort of content will draw, not just wanted attention, but unwanted as well. In a perfect world, that wouldn't matter. The problem is we don't live in that world, we live in this one. There are a lot of sick people out there. My point is she's not new to this. She knows the kinds of pics she posts will get attention, both good and bad, and she still does it. She wants more followers and those pics are a way to get them. Those same pics bring out the creeps etc. In the end, if it was too much, she would stop posting them and eventually, I imagine it would die off. But she continues to do it. I'm not saying she shouldn't, I'm simply saying she feels the pros outweigh the cons. But if you complain about it while you are doing things you know simultaneously attract it, then I have very little sympathy for you. This is just my opinion.
I have to disagree with you, constantly posting pictures, including the “provocative” ones you speak of is how she makes her income and a living. Guy tiktokers post shirtless pics and thirst traps all the time and they don’t get mobbed and threatened or put in danger
The fact that she refuses to take ANY responsibility for being objectified despite ACTIVELY objectifying herself is everything that it just amazing about modern women. Have your cake and eat it.
funny how men are able to post revealing pics and not worry about their safety/image, but as soon as a woman does it she's responsible for men acting like pigs publicly. Also, she's at most sexualizing herself, it's impossible to objectify herself. and men have the ultimate choice in how they choose to interact with her, unless you're saying they can't control themselves and are provoked by women dressing in skimpy clothing.
This is a double standard. This is exactly the way a whole crowd of girls acted during the boy band craziness. (also back then, the girls would grab and try to rip off the clothing of the boy band members. (& the media just portrayed them, as “normal” cute little girls hormones going wild over their crushed/heroes) - (I don’t think that’s ever gonna happen here, in the reverse situation)
This girl just loves attention! She complains about receiving so much attention but she's constantly doing everything possible to receive more and more attention.
It amazes me how little one has to do to be famous. She dresses in barely anything, and Now she's becoming concerned with all the male attention she's receiving. This is not the America I grew up in.
"There are some people, occasionally, that do reach and it is a bit concerning," she said on the "Today" show in January. "As a woman, you’re not responsible for how a man looks at you and objectifies you. That’s not a woman’s responsibility." The reality is she makes millions from people "objectifying" her. If she didn't work out, over ate, had 0 talent, wasn't an attractive female, and didn't post any social media her life would be completely different that's 100% certain.
exactly what you said? if she wasn't attractive she wouldn't get this type of attention. meaning attractive women aren't allowed to exist in the presence of men without you objectifying them.
She's pretty, but in a way where you could find a lot of other girls looking like,- at school. It's crazy how people will mount people up on pedestals and revere their para-social relationship. And Livy is wrong about girls not being responsible for what they post on social media. IF you're posting thirst traps and acting provocatively, then don't be surprised when viewers imagine you sexually.
It is not so common among athletes of her caliber. She got both the pretty face, the toned healthy body, and knows how to act all charming and innocent, plus she knows how to put it out. There is a reason she gets so many viewers, it's not by random chance. I do not myself know anyone female of this caliber, and I know hundreds of women. Of course, I may pass some on the street, still, those are one in a hundred.
I think the thing that gets overlooked, particularly about Olivia, is that she is a high level athlete.While some may watch/follow her for her looks, she is a starter at one of the top gymnasts programs in the country
Let's be real, she hit the genetic lottery. If she was really famous for her exceptional athletics, then Simone Biles would've been a multi-millionaire, before she even became an Olympian. She knows she is using her looks to get the marketing out there.
Yes Olivia, it is your responsibility on how you portray yourself on social media. Pictures will get mens attention. If you don't like it, stay off of social media. Simple as that.
Dress the way you want to be addressed. That's on social media or in real life.. I bodybuild, and when I wear a tangtop, I expect the extra attention that comes with it. She marketed herself like this. Don't be shocked by the outcome. You can't clame to be empowered and the victim simutainuously. This is how she's cutting checks. Can't have your cake (pun intended)and eat it, too.
Women STILL need to take responsibility for how they present themselves to the public. The world is not a nice place. It never will be. People will not behave as you want them to (elementary). Therefore, it is not a good idea to publicly "expose" yourselves in a such a manner. For your own security, for your dignity and respect.
To be honest, she doesn't need to be in college still because she already has a full time career in being social media influencer. Look how much attention and money she makes. She's financially set. I do think she does need to take accountability for how she uses social media because she knows that it makes her a lot of money and marketable. Her choice in terms of what she does but take responsibility of what comes along with it and the things she has control over.
A great interview! She's a lovely individual who clearly has the tenacity to exceed as an athlete. I hope this rise to fame doesn't impact her negatively. Can't wait to see how she competes in the SEC moving forward.
As deeply rooted physical attraction is in human nature, you cannot possibly claim that "as a woman you're not responsible for how a man looks at you" - that's merely an attempt to continue what she is doing while dodging and deflecting any and all responsibility for negative consequences. She's also fully aware that she can control how men percieve her because she's been able to amass such a large following and a 7-figure income

Yo props to this young woman, she works hard and takes advantage of the opportunities that opened up for her. But, I have to admit, hearing that someone ten years younger than me is doing WAY better than I can imagine for myself is a perfect example of how social media can make one feel like garbage. I can only imagine what that means for America on a mass scale of social media users of all ages. Comparison is the thief of joy.
@@tanglecash127depends on circumstances actually. If you are beautiful like this young lady, life will be easier. If you are rich, life will be easier. If you live in a country where you have rights your life will be easier. If you are healthy, your life will be easier, etc
I get your point, that's not all true though. Several Middle Eastern countries, where women dress in very loose clothing and even cover their hair, have been reported to have the highest amount of SA cases. It isn't always about how a woman dresses.
What's wrong with "objectifying"? Let's not pretend it's not part of life. What matters is, how you treat people you interact with, there is nothing wrong with admiring and displaying beauty.
Lots of people blaming a 20-year old for the social media culture. Her content is playful and flirty, but otherwise not in bad taste, and she is probably just as surprised by the response as anyone. With fame comes certain risks and she has obviously chosen to accept that, as is her absolute right. (By the way, if she were an LGBT+ athlete, she would be celebrated as a trailblazer and a role model.)
She is using what she has ,to make money in this time frame ! Years from now , her looks might have changed and no one will care about her Gymnastic Accomplishments 30 years ago ! 200, 000 in a bank account with compounding interest in 30 years will be worth a lot ! Hopefully, she doesn't get drawn into the Playboy world !
There’s no blame haha, but she knows what she’s doing. Built up a massive following which will only continue to grow, then start only fans once she graduates where she’ll make a killing
She's gorgeous and smart enough to leverage that into money and opportunity. If people are so offended or whatever they don't have to look at her content. She's also a talented athlete so it's not like she is just riding on her looks alone but even if she was, there would be nothing wrong with that. People can do whatever they want, it's called freedom. As long as it's not hurting anyone it's okay and should be applauded.
She has net worth of over $2 million- if her investments earn 5% per year she can have a $100,000 per year income for the rest of her life if she retires right now- she obviously won't do that, but it is amazing what a person can do with the smart use of social media- obviously being very attractive and charming and likeable is a big part of this- pretty amazing.
@@jasonbitter1 Exactly, I wonder if she'll share her $$$ with the male gymnasts. Like the male soccer players had to with the lame female soccer players

@@JomerTB im not saying her body is not attractive... im just saying that Denise Richards was stacked... she had a womans body, big boobs etc...Olivia has a nice body but her body is more on the teenager side body
Don't pose in skimpy outfits and then claim you don't want to be objectified. She is using her body for attention which is fine, just don't claim it is not your responsibility on how people perceive you.
I hope her well but if she's going to continue to think that a woman has 0 responsibility for a man's perception of them she's got a lot to learn about life.
She is lucky to be very beautiful, I hope that she will continue to improve her skills so that she can be famous for her skillset just as much as her beauty.
2:31, "As a woman, you are not responsible for how a man looks at you and objectifies you, that's not a woman's responsibility". I don't fully agree with that view, everyone is responsible for how they are viewed by society to a certain extent, and by that I mean that they have a certain level of control over it. In her case, she clearly isn't just posting pictures of herself in gymnastics outfits, she has pictures of herself in bikinis, swimsuits, and other outfits that are very revealing. She clearly could have not posted such pictures, but she chose to, which I would think it's safe to assume that that's one of the main reasons for her rise in fame and objectification.
What backwards way to look at it for her. If you put yourself out there on social media you have to take the good with the bad. They are all consequences of her decisions. If you can't handle all the hate and unwanted attention, don't post half naked selfies and tik toks.
Why do you also have to take the bad? She obviously knows it’s common for famous attractive people to be harassed, but that doesn’t mean she has to be. I think it is exactly how she says. She posts her stuff and is not responsible for the way people respond to it. The people who can’t behave are the problem here, even if she could have foreseen it. And to be honest, for me this has nothing to do with her. She is just another person who found succes by using what she has. I just hate it when people (especially my fellow men) try to justify harassment.
So she's relying on her looks to get her through life at 20. I guess going to college is just a way for her to focus on that versus some who wants to go, for free, and get an education.
Man or woman you are somewhat responsible for how someone looks at you.....if you portray yourself is a manner that asks for THAT attention you have to acknowledge creeps will come out the woodwork. I could go outside in a suit made of 100 dollar bills and its might right to do so 100 percent...but I wouldn't be surprised if I was robbed...doesnt give anyone the right to rob me but that is the world we live in. Nothing wrong with what she is doing but just accept the risks and plan for them.
When you're saying " look at me this way" .. people will look at you that way. Some people that are mentally compromised are going to listen to you also... You are directly responsible for how people view you.
The Bible talks about a woman dressing modestly. As a woman we have a responsibility to be aware and respectful of others' potential areas of weakness. We've been blessed with beautiful bodies as a gender, but it comes with responsibility.
So she doesn't want to accept the responsibility for men turning into creeps because of her provocative social media posts but she'll accept the responsibility of the 7 figures that come along with it. Got it
If the lady with the glasses and black hair all of a sudden transformed into that gymnastic girl, and someone offered her seven figures and all she had to do was make silly videos on the internet, I bet she'd take it. :D
I’m pretty sure that’s not the reason why the boys follow her. She looks like she would be pretty easy. This is the girl that Travis is in a relationship with
"Your not responsible for how a man looks at you and objectifies you" don't act dumb, if you dress provacatively and post pictures of yourself on social media for attention then expect to be treated like that kind of woman.
As a woman, you are absolutely responsible for how a man objectifies you. Ladies from the past knew this and they behaved and dressed properly accordingly. Crazy how this girl doesn't know these basic things.

She has made Gymnastics much more interesting and vastly increased attendance at the meets she is in! . . . The NCAA should love that!!!! Have you ever wondered why the women are required to wear the uniforms they wear. Hhhhhhhmmmmmm!!!!!
I disagree with the girl. A beautiful young girl like her especially in the public is responsible for how she looks, dresses and how she portrays herself. Her attitude falls short of all the women that parade around in the gym half naked while getting upset at men for looking at them. A large portion of her Fortune comes from how she looks and how she displays herself online. Some people on here have considered, and called anyone who is drawn to her to be a "creep". You cannot prejudge a person who is drawn to, temporarily or otherwise, an attractive person and not judge them as well. She brings a strong sexuality to her product in which affords her a power that she is indeed responsible for. This is the way it has been since the beginning. This is not hate. This is fact.
Don’t put the blame of others people’s actions on Olivia. Guys post shirtless pics and thirst traps all the time, yet they don’t get mobbed, threaten or put at risk. Olivia is not the problem, it’s people(mainly men’s) who think they have a right to meet or know her just because she has an online following that are the problem

Uh, no. While I dont excuse the 'fans' behavior, she is clearly enjoying the attention. She is posting thirst traps and then wonders why she's in this position? I don't buy it.
I think Dunne was doing her thing, got famous (mostly for her looks and talent), and simply played into it to further her passion and become as successful as she can with the exposure. While I'm sure she's enjoying the attention to an extent I'm also sure there's days where she would rather be invisible.
She's obviously talented, an effective communicator, confident, and gorgeous! Those are the things you need to make 7 figures! You can factor in race as well, but that's optional.

Those same pics bring out the creeps etc. In the end, if it was too much, she would stop posting them and eventually, I imagine it would die off. But she continues to do it. I'm not saying she shouldn't, I'm simply saying she feels the pros outweigh the cons. But if you complain about it while you are doing things you know simultaneously attract it, then I have very little sympathy for you. This is just my opinion.
I have to disagree with you, constantly posting pictures, including the “provocative” ones you speak of is how she makes her income and a living.
Guy tiktokers post shirtless pics and thirst traps all the time and they don’t get mobbed and threatened or put in danger
If I dress like a cop, don’t u dare approach when u need help right?
U say it shouldn't t but then explain why it should, u r blaming her
She's like a commercial advertising.
*This is simple promiscuity and a huge "narcisismo"*
The fact that she refuses to take ANY responsibility for being objectified despite ACTIVELY objectifying herself is everything that it just amazing about modern women. Have your cake and eat it.
if shes making 7 figues by objectifying herself can u really blame her?
@@ovoj5631 I'm sure when the money runs out she'll find a high profile man to 'me too'
funny how men are able to post revealing pics and not worry about their safety/image, but as soon as a woman does it she's responsible for men acting like pigs publicly. Also, she's at most sexualizing herself, it's impossible to objectify herself. and men have the ultimate choice in how they choose to interact with her, unless you're saying they can't control themselves and are provoked by women dressing in skimpy clothing.
tell me how tf someone can ‘objectify’ themselves. by being hot?
what a well rounded athlete.
She has a beautiful future behind her.
Uff😂
I agree with you
Her greatest asset is based on those gifts that are behind her as well as her future which will grow in front of her😂😂😂😂.
Can only imagine the narcissism off camera. I'm sure she's a real peach to be around.
You wouldn't kick her out of your bed would you?
This is a double standard. This is exactly the way a whole crowd of girls acted during the boy band craziness.
(also back then, the girls would grab and try to rip off the clothing of the boy band members. (& the media just portrayed them, as “normal” cute little girls hormones going wild over their crushed/heroes)

(I don’t think that’s ever gonna happen here, in the reverse situation)
The difference is that there is a high percentage of violence against women solely by men.
Exactly
Great to see the coach take their safety seriously, seems like he really cares about the athletes.
God bless young Agreed
You***
Coach is sus. I would never trust him around my daughter.
I bet he does
He's probable already smashed her and half the team. Barbara Walter's just ain't around to crack the case no more..
This girl just loves attention! She complains about receiving so much attention but she's constantly doing everything possible to receive more and more attention.
I agree 100%.
The guys are having a laugh, it’s a joke. But a minority could be creepy
Yup. Silly.
It amazes me how little one has to do to be famous. She dresses in barely anything, and Now she's becoming concerned with all the male attention she's receiving. This is not the America I grew up in.
Women*. How little women have to do.
Iran is looking for more people like you...
She’s not going to be youthful forever, she is lucky to have this opportunity. I grew up with no social media but l was stunning by all accounts
"There are some people, occasionally, that do reach and it is a bit concerning," she said on the "Today" show in January. "As a woman, you’re not responsible for how a man looks at you and objectifies you. That’s not a woman’s responsibility."
The reality is she makes millions from people "objectifying" her. If she didn't work out, over ate, had 0 talent, wasn't an attractive female, and didn't post any social media her life would be completely different that's 100% certain.
exactly what you said? if she wasn't attractive she wouldn't get this type of attention. meaning attractive women aren't allowed to exist in the presence of men without you objectifying them.
She's pretty, but in a way where you could find a lot of other girls looking like,- at school. It's crazy how people will mount people up on pedestals and revere their para-social relationship. And Livy is wrong about girls not being responsible for what they post on social media. IF you're posting thirst traps and acting provocatively, then don't be surprised when viewers imagine you sexually.
She knows what she’s doing. Building up her following to make an absolute killing on only fans once she graduates
It is not so common among athletes of her caliber. She got both the pretty face, the toned healthy body, and knows how to act all charming and innocent, plus she knows how to put it out. There is a reason she gets so many viewers, it's not by random chance. I do not myself know anyone female of this caliber, and I know hundreds of women. Of course, I may pass some on the street, still, those are one in a hundred.
u dont think men would look at her that way regardless? delusional
All of her fans are men of culture for sure
I think the thing that gets overlooked, particularly about Olivia, is that she is a high level athlete.While some may watch/follow her for her looks, she is a starter at one of the top gymnasts programs in the country
Men don't care about that lol

Let's be real, she hit the genetic lottery. If she was really famous for her exceptional athletics, then Simone Biles would've been a multi-millionaire, before she even became an Olympian. She knows she is using her looks to get the marketing out there.
That coach was more insightful than expected
Great to see young men supporting non revenue generating sports and showing support to female athletes. Good stuff

If you don't like it, stay off of social media.
Simple as that.

Dress the way you want to be addressed. That's on social media or in real life.. I bodybuild, and when I wear a tangtop, I expect the extra attention that comes with it. She marketed herself like this. Don't be shocked by the outcome. You can't clame to be empowered and the victim simutainuously. This is how she's cutting checks. Can't have your cake (pun intended)and eat it, too.

@@kennethteasley7454Indeed!!!!
She seems like a good person to date.
Another empty "down to earth" comment
Women STILL need to take responsibility for how they present themselves to the public. The world is not a nice place. It never will be. People will not behave as you want them to (elementary). Therefore, it is not a good idea to publicly "expose" yourselves in a such a manner. For your own security, for your dignity and respect.
yea and why are we acting like Instagram is an essential of life? Just stop using it if u feel like this
To be honest, she doesn't need to be in college still because she already has a full time career in being social media influencer. Look how much attention and money she makes. She's financially set. I do think she does need to take accountability for how she uses social media because she knows that it makes her a lot of money and marketable. Her choice in terms of what she does but take responsibility of what comes along with it and the things she has control over.
A great interview! She's a lovely individual who clearly has the tenacity to exceed as an athlete. I hope this rise to fame doesn't impact her negatively. Can't wait to see how she competes in the SEC moving forward.

As deeply rooted physical attraction is in human nature, you cannot possibly claim that "as a woman you're not responsible for how a man looks at you" - that's merely an attempt to continue what she is doing while dodging and deflecting any and all responsibility for negative consequences. She's also fully aware that she can control how men percieve her because she's been able to amass such a large following and a 7-figure income
Not even worth it bro…

Yo props to this young woman, she works hard and takes advantage of the opportunities that opened up for her. But, I have to admit, hearing that someone ten years younger than me is doing WAY better than I can imagine for myself is a perfect example of how social media can make one feel like garbage. I can only imagine what that means for America on a mass scale of social media users of all ages. Comparison is the thief of joy.

coach is clearly a man of culture
She is impressive for her beauty and her discipline. I could watch her all day long. Very proud of her too.
Message to olivia: men typically wont objectify you until you objectify yourself, which seems to be the case. Take responsibility of that lol
I get your point, that's not all true though. Several Middle Eastern countries, where women dress in very loose clothing and even cover their hair, have been reported to have the highest amount of SA cases. It isn't always about how a woman dresses.
What's wrong with "objectifying"? Let's not pretend it's not part of life. What matters is, how you treat people you interact with, there is nothing wrong with admiring and displaying beauty.
She’s so pretty!
Lots of people blaming a 20-year old for the social media culture. Her content is playful and flirty, but otherwise not in bad taste, and she is probably just as surprised by the response as anyone. With fame comes certain risks and she has obviously chosen to accept that, as is her absolute right. (By the way, if she were an LGBT+ athlete, she would be celebrated as a trailblazer and a role model.)
The people blaming her are absolutely pathetic
She is using what she has ,to make money in this time frame ! Years from now , her looks might have changed and no one will care about her Gymnastic Accomplishments 30 years ago ! 200, 000 in a bank account with compounding interest in 30 years will be worth a lot ! Hopefully, she doesn't get drawn into the Playboy world !
@@christianderefield7026 I agree on some stuff you said but their is nothing wrong with someone doing playboy if they want to.
Nothing deserves blame here. Its such a nothing burger
There’s no blame haha, but she knows what she’s doing. Built up a massive following which will only continue to grow, then start only fans once she graduates where she’ll make a killing
She's gorgeous and smart enough to leverage that into money and opportunity. If people are so offended or whatever they don't have to look at her content. She's also a talented athlete so it's not like she is just riding on her looks alone but even if she was, there would be nothing wrong with that. People can do whatever they want, it's called freedom. As long as it's not hurting anyone it's okay and should be applauded.
She has net worth of over $2 million- if her investments earn 5% per year she can have a $100,000 per year income for the rest of her life if she retires right now- she obviously won't do that, but it is amazing what a person can do with the smart use of social media- obviously being very attractive and charming and likeable is a big part of this- pretty amazing.

Don't pose in skimpy outfits and then claim you don't want to be objectified. She is using her body for attention which is fine, just don't claim it is not your responsibility on how people perceive you.
I hope her well but if she's going to continue to think that a woman has 0 responsibility for a man's perception of them she's got a lot to learn about life.
Nah, creeps are responsible for their own perceptions and actions.
scary how men will stop respecting women just for wearing skimpy and cute clothing. women will truly never be free, y'all sick.
lmao the coach just used that let her express herself to see her in more scantly clad outfit lmao
She is lucky to be very beautiful, I hope that she will continue to improve her skills so that she can be famous for her skillset just as much as her beauty.
2:31, "As a woman, you are not responsible for how a man looks at you and objectifies you, that's not a woman's responsibility". I don't fully agree with that view, everyone is responsible for how they are viewed by society to a certain extent, and by that I mean that they have a certain level of control over it. In her case, she clearly isn't just posting pictures of herself in gymnastics outfits, she has pictures of herself in bikinis, swimsuits, and other outfits that are very revealing. She clearly could have not posted such pictures, but she chose to, which I would think it's safe to assume that that's one of the main reasons for her rise in fame and objectification.
What a great coach 👏
Gorgeous and talented! Go Livy!
I will say that the fans behavior is inappropriate at best. However, she's putting herself in this situation & she knows what she's doing.
Exactly. You can't have it both ways.
Sounds like a smart, grounded young person...she worked hard for it and well spoken and don't blame her for opportunity
Can’t be smart while simultaneously denying reality
@@prod.saiyan4863 Well said. The amount of simps in the comments is mind boggling.
What backwards way to look at it for her. If you put yourself out there on social media you have to take the good with the bad. They are all consequences of her decisions. If you can't handle all the hate and unwanted attention, don't post half naked selfies and tik toks.
Why do you also have to take the bad? She obviously knows it’s common for famous attractive people to be harassed, but that doesn’t mean she has to be. I think it is exactly how she says. She posts her stuff and is not responsible for the way people respond to it. The people who can’t behave are the problem here, even if she could have foreseen it.
And to be honest, for me this has nothing to do with her. She is just another person who found succes by using what she has. I just hate it when people (especially my fellow men) try to justify harassment.
So she's relying on her looks to get her through life at 20. I guess going to college is just a way for her to focus on that versus some who wants to go, for free, and get an education.
20 is when you have it. Those women who rely on looks at 30 or even worse, 40+ are the pathetic
It's not your responsibility in how a man acts but it is your responsibility to use good judgement in what you put out there.
Olivia Newton John was known as & is still remembered as Livvy.
Man or woman you are somewhat responsible for how someone looks at you.....if you portray yourself is a manner that asks for THAT attention you have to acknowledge creeps will come out the woodwork. I could go outside in a suit made of 100 dollar bills and its might right to do so 100 percent...but I wouldn't be surprised if I was robbed...doesnt give anyone the right to rob me but that is the world we live in. Nothing wrong with what she is doing but just accept the risks and plan for them.
I agree but its wrong on Gods eyes tho. Not that we're allowed to condemn
When you're saying " look at me this way" .. people will look at you that way. Some people that are mentally compromised are going to listen to you also... You are directly responsible for how people view you.
This is true, you are directly responsible for the perception people see you as.
@@michaelmichaelagnew8503is that sarcasm
The Bible talks about a woman dressing modestly. As a woman we have a responsibility to be aware and respectful of others' potential areas of weakness. We've been blessed with beautiful bodies as a gender, but it comes with responsibility.

Not really. Any woman who likes to post on social media is hardly down to earth but such "vanity" is normalized in todays society.
"She seems"
Ahhhhh Yah of Course She Is... When the Cameras On & Rolling.
Congratulate to Oliver 👏👏👏
So she doesn't want to accept the responsibility for men turning into creeps because of her provocative social media posts but she'll accept the responsibility of the 7 figures that come along with it. Got it

If the lady with the glasses and black hair all of a sudden transformed into that gymnastic girl, and someone offered her seven figures and all she had to do was make silly videos on the internet, I bet she'd take it. :D
I’m pretty sure that’s not the reason why the boys follow her. She looks like she would be pretty easy. This is the girl that Travis is in a relationship with
"Your not responsible for how a man looks at you and objectifies you" don't act dumb, if you dress provacatively and post pictures of yourself on social media for attention then expect to be treated like that kind of woman.
As a woman, you are absolutely responsible for how a man objectifies you. Ladies from the past knew this and they behaved and dressed properly accordingly. Crazy how this girl doesn't know these basic things.

"Flight attendant"? You mean "stewardess." Stewardesses need to be attractive again, so hiring a gymnast is a good idea.
wow she is a really great tennis player
She has made Gymnastics much more interesting and vastly increased attendance at the meets she is in! . . . The NCAA should love that!!!! Have you ever wondered why the women are required to wear the uniforms they wear. Hhhhhhhmmmmmm!!!!!
gymnasts are allowed to wear unitards. I believe since last year also shorts.
I disagree with the girl. A beautiful young girl like her especially in the public is responsible for how she looks, dresses and how she portrays herself.
Her attitude falls short of all the women that parade around in the gym half naked while getting upset at men for looking at them. A large portion of her Fortune comes from how she looks and how she displays herself online. Some people on here have considered, and called anyone who is drawn to her to be a "creep". You cannot prejudge a person who is drawn to, temporarily or otherwise, an attractive person and not judge them as well.
She brings a strong sexuality to her product in which affords her a power that she is indeed responsible for.

I think Dunne was doing her thing, got famous (mostly for her looks and talent), and simply played into it to further her passion and become as successful as she can with the exposure. While I'm sure she's enjoying the attention to an extent I'm also sure there's days where she would rather be invisible.
