LSU will have new security measures to protect student-athletes following disruptive fans heckling gymnast Olivia Dunne at a road meet.

"We've always allowed them to go up there post-meet with their families and interact with them. LSU will also make a change to home meets. The new measures will be implemented following an incident involving junior all-round gymnast Olivia Dunne last Friday.

Dunne, a famous TikTok influencer, has developed a massive fan base on social media.

"We are going to change some of the policies of allowing the girls to go into the stands immediately following a meet," Clark said. When it comes to security changes in Baton Rouge, Clark said new team rules will now prohibit the gymnasts from going into the stands right after a meet. That disrupted the routines of other gymnasts, and it prompted LSU coach Jay Clark to make some security changes.

Olympic gymnast Samantha Peszek, who attended the meet, called the fan behavior "scary and disturbing."

She said she appreciated the support but exhorted fans to "be respectful of the other gymnasts and the gymnastics community." She's one of the most visible and high-profile collegiate athletes, with thousands of fans commenting on her every post. "Very disturbing," she wrote.

There was a, there was a mob sense to that scene that that was very disconcerting to me and that’s what I hope is not going to become the norm.” “It’s not about Olivia or NIL or social media, it’s just I guess sort of the sense of entitlement that some people feel they can behave a certain way and that what we saw go on out there was a behavior that I didn’t think was appropriate,” Clark said. “So it was a little bit disconcerting, I think, the level of intensity that went with it.

A throng of boys disrupted a recent NCAA meet to catcall the athlete they call “mommy.” Then, sigh, their supporters logged on.

So it’s not just that Dunne is dressing and posting selfies on social media as if she were any other peer of hers: It’s also that posting selfies on social media is allowing her to have more freedom than athletes like her would have had before—and yes, a lot more money. But I fear that what could otherwise be the sport’s most enchanting season in years might, instead, be overshadowed by yet another ugly chapter in the infinity-long saga of a ruthless misogynistic cliché: terrorize the young woman—and then blame her. She looks cute in them, and if you have never visited social media, I must inform you that most people on it post selfies that are meant to showcase themselves looking cute, regardless of compensation. According to [eyewitnesses](https://twitter.com/samuelsski27/status/1611562806452846593) and [video](https://twitter.com/T_star94/status/1612210674037407748), the boys [were so rowdy](https://twitter.com/JFurKSL/status/1611551334758748162) during the meet—brandishing enormous signs, disrupting other gymnasts’ treacherous balance beam routines, chanting “Put Livvy in!”—that security had to be dispatched to their section. The fact that she’s gotten rich by doing so with cute photos is not—as even the Times story points out—the only way for college athletes to make money online. It’s the notion uniting those linked reactions to the incident above: whether somehow, Dunne’s TikTok and Instagram activity means she “deserves” this borderline-violent mobbing—that simply by being famous, young, fashionable, and conventionally attractive, she (and everyone in her vicinity) is asking for it. [New York Times](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/08/sports/ncaabasketball/olivia-dunne-haley-jones-endorsements.html) wonder if NIL rights are the real villain here—the ultimate cause of this inevitable effect. Is this new money-making reality compelling these women to sell sex and thus also somehow “inviting” this kind of terrifying attention?
