Olivia Dunne's sister Julz questions gymnast's Halloween costume choice: 'Have you even watched GOT?'
BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA: Olivia Dunne, the accomplished American gymnast and the NCAA's highest-earning female athlete, recently found herself at the centre of social media attention because of her Halloween costume. The costume was inspired by the popular 'Game of Thrones' charcter, Khaleesi.
However, her sister Julz Dunne questioned the authenticity of the costume. This led to a flurry of comments and discussions on the post's comment section.
Olivia Dunne's sister fuels discussion on costume selection
The 21-year-old gymnast, hailing from New Jersey, boasts of an NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) valuation of $3.4 million, becoming a millionaire at the young age of 19, as reported by On3 Sports. Her high profile and social media presence were evident in the lively comments' section of her Halloween costume post.
Julz Dunne, Olivia's older sister, couldn't help but voice her skepticism about the costume. She said, "Have you even watched 'GOT'?" Her comment ignited a response from Olivia, who cheekily replied, "Wouldn't you like to know, weather boy."
Julz recently teamed up with the Accelerator ambassador for a video project.
Julz Dunne assists Olivia with her social media presence
Olivia and Julz have a collaborative relationship that extends to their professional lives. Julz, a recent graduate from LSU, actively assists Olivia with her social media presence. In a profile piece with Elle magazine in July, Olivia described her sister as "sometimes the brains behind the operation".
The two siblings brainstorm video ideas, create content, and often, Julz handles the editing process while Olivia is occupied with her gymnastics practice. Julz's work for Olivia is paid, as per Elle's report, and she is also in the process of establishing her own social media business to support other student athletes in maximizing their NIL opportunities.
Olivia made significant strides in her career by signing with the WME Sports agency less than two months after the NIL rule change in 2021. Her influence extends to various brand partnerships, including Motorola, Vuori, EA Sports, Body Armor, Grubhub, Linktree, Forever 21, American Eagle Outfitters, and Bartleby, a growing study app.
Despite her thriving social media presence, Olivia remains committed to excelling in gymnastics and will not allow her side hustle to distract her from her athletic career. The talented gymnast was a member of the USA gymnastics team in 2017, later competing at the National Championships the following year. She was granted a full scholarship to Louisiana State University, where she continues to excel in her junior year, balancing both her athletic pursuits and her influential presence on social media.
