Olivia Dunne opened up about a concerning pattern of scary incidents she’s experienced lately, and her fans are coming together to support her.

The 22-year-old former gymnast and SI Swimsuit 2025 cover model took to her TikTok account on Friday to talk about a recent uptick she’s noticed in strangers waiting for her at the airport, demanding her autograph and causing distress to those around her if she refuses.

“I fear that I’m being stalked, and I don’t know what to do. It’s gotten to the point [that] every single time I go to the airport, there’s at least 10 middle-aged men waiting for me and they harass me,” Dunne told her fans. “It’s these men who want my autograph. They have a stack of 40 pictures of me—or my magazines—and they will run after me down the TSA pre-check line and yell at me if I don’t give them my autograph.”

She went on to detail more of the disturbing behavior these men exhibited, saying, “They will yell at me and make a scene, and the people around me are scared [...] Even this morning was a terrible experience.”

Dunne then inserted a video clip of herself in tears, visibly distressed while exiting an early morning flight and walking to the airport’s baggage claim, noting that the men were “getting in [her] face” and scaring those around her.

“And it’s not only when I’m going to big events,” she added. “It’s like if I’m going on a family vacation, they’re waiting there.”

The former gymnast also added that, sadly, this isn’t a new issue for women who live their lives in the public eye, referencing a similar story she recalled from a TikTok made by fellow athlete Gabby Thomas earlier this year. Dunne also clarified that this wasn’t simply a matter of happenstance, but one where these men show up and find her with purpose, even if she only has a 20-minute connecting flight in a “random” city.

“It needs to stop because it’s scary for girls,” she said to end the video. “It’s weird [...] Stay safe.”

Thomas herself took to Dunne’s comment section to offer support, having experienced the same airport harassment, writing, “girl!! so sad that because we’re good at what we do people feel like they should have constant access to us and give us travel anxiety. glad you’re speaking up too 🫶🏽.”
