LSU gymnast and social media star Olivia Dunne is used to turning heads-but her latest GQ photoshoot with boyfriend Paul Skenes sent the internet into full-on roast mode. From shady Reddit threads to fashion critiques sharper than a leotard wedgie, the haters came out swinging. But Dunne? She didn’t flinch.

Instead of firing back with words, Livvy let her TikTok game do the talking. In a recent video that’s already racked up tens of thousands of likes, Dunne is seen lying on a couch, wide-eyed and smirking as the text reads, “the internet after seeing me and Paul’s GQ photoshoot.”

Her caption? A simple but cheeky: “I like them .” Classic Dunne-playful, unbothered, and 100% in control of the narrative.

The GQ spread, which dropped in April 2025, featured the NCAA power couple in a series of sleek shots-Olivia perched on a piano, lounging on Skenes’ lap, and even posing poolside in a swimsuit.

Their dog, Roux, even made an appearance. Dunne posted all six photos on Instagram herself, clearly proud of the high-fashion moment. But while fans swooned, critics were quick to pounce.

Haters are gonna hate

On Reddit, a thread titled “Let’s talk about Livvy Dunne’s tacky GQ photoshoot w Paul Skenes blew up. “Not one good outfit in sight,” one commenter ranted, while another sniped, “Skenes looks like he hates her or does not want to be there.”

Others accused the shoot of looking “staged” and “awkward,” even claiming it was more about hyping up the MLB pitcher than spotlighting Dunne.

Some took aim at Olivia’s fashion choices in general, labeling her TikTok style “basic and/or bad.” And of course, the classic accusation reappeared: that she’s focusing more on modeling than her athletic career.

Livvy doesn’t let anyone stop her

But the LSU star didn’t waste a second defending herself. Her silent-but-deadly TikTok response made one thing crystal clear: she’s not here for the drama-she’s too busy living her best life.

And with millions of fans, a thriving gymnastics career, and a GQ spread to her name, Olivia Dunne is proving once again that the only opinions she really cares about? Her own.

2025 NFL Draft winners and losers: Shedeur Sanders falls into both categories, Tom Brady makes the list

Getty Images After 257 picks, the 2025 NFL Draft is officially in the books. The draft started on Thursday with the Browns doing something crazy, and it ended on Saturday with the Browns also doing something crazy, so in a way, the draft truly came full circle. The first round started with a blockbuster trade between Cleveland and Jacksonville that saw the Jaguars move up from the fifth pick to the second overall spot so they could take Travis Hunter. Although Hunter went second overall, one player who had to wait longer than expected to get drafted was Hunter's college teammate at Colorado, Shedeur Sanders. Not only did he fall out of the first round, but he ended up falling all the way to the fifth round before the Browns took him with the 144th overall pick. For this draft, Sanders was both […]

Broncos 2025 NFL Draft takeaways: Building around Bo Nix with new targets, defensive depth

The Broncos closed the draft Saturday by acquiring a developmental pass rusher in the fourth round, a punter with the last pick in the sixth round and former basketball standout and converted tight end in the seventh round.Those moves punctuated a three-day event that was more substance than flash for the Broncos. After landing their franchise quarterback in 2024 and making the playoffs during Bo Nix’s encouraging rookie season, this offseason has been about careful upgrades designed to help Denver take another step forward in their quest to become real contenders — and not just in 2025.Advertisement“We did a good job in free agency to put ourselves in a position to really look at, three years out, how do we like this player?” Broncos coach Sean Payton said in the days leading up that draft.Only time will reveal whether this […]

El Clasico: What wild Copa del Rey final win means for FC Barcelona, and what loss means for Real Madrid

Getty Images After FC Barcelona won 3-2 against Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final, in what was a wild 120 minutes of play, it's now time to think about what's next at both clubs, especially at Real Madrid, where there will be even more doubts about the future of Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti, who looks increasingly likely to end his successful spell at the Spanish club after winning 15 trophies. Despite the success, Real Madrid are facing the risk of ending the current 2024-25 season with no trophies, and this might lead the club's president, Florentino Perez, to look for another coach in the summer. Here's what we learned from the final of the Copa del Rey: Hansi Flick continues hot start On the other side, FC Barcelona are more than happy with the decision they made in the summer […]
