Her reaction led to even more fans commenting on her TikTok post, according to The Sun. One wrote, as per the outlet, "Day 1 of saying hi until she responds." Another wrote, "If Livvy replies then I will be the happiest man alive." One more said, "Livvy replying to your comment gotta be the biggest flex ever."

However, it was in 2014, when she started competing as a gymnast and in 2017, became a member of the US National Gymnastics Team. She currently competes at the collegiate level in the NCAA.

VanDerveer stated that these deals are harmful to female athletes in conversation with the New York Times. The coach said, "I guess sometimes we have this swinging pendulum, where we maybe take two steps forward, and then we take a step back. We're fighting for all the opportunities to compete, to play, to have resources, to have facilities, to have coaches, and all the things that go with Olympic-caliber athletics. This is a step back."
