Sister goes public over issues with star gymnast’s costume

The sister of star gymnast Olivia Dunne has caused a stir with a public comment about the Insta queen’s costume.

College gymnast Olivia Dunne becomes teenage millionaire

Olivia Dunne’s older sister has called out the Instagram queen’s Halloween costume, and it has caused quite a stir.

The American gymnast — who is the NCAA’s highest-earning female athlete — channelled Khaleesi from “Game of Thrones” for Halloween this year, and Julz Dunne questioned her sister’s costume.

The 21-year-old New Jersey native has a NIL valuation of $3.4 million, according to On3 Sports — becoming a millionaire at the age of 19.

That profile is the exact reason it was complete mayhem in the comments section of the post, The New York Post reports.

“Have you even watched GOT?” Julz commented under Olivia’s Instagram post, which included a collage of costume photos.

Olivia replied: “Wouldn’t you like to know weather boy”.

Some of her 4.4 million followers sounded off in the comments.

“@julzdunner asking the real questions,” one Instagram user wrote, while another added, “@julzdunne you’re funny af.”

One fan said the sisters’ “back and forth … on commercials social etc is everything.”

The Accelerator ambassador recently teamed up with Julz for a video project with the energy drink.

Olivia and Julz’s relationship goes beyond family.

Julz, who graduated from LSU this past spring, works with Olivia when it comes to her dominant social media presence.

The gymnast, who’s in her senior year at LSU, said Julz is “sometimes the brains behind the operation,” in a profile piece with Elle magazine in July.

Olivia and Julz develop ideas for videos together and film the content, with Julz often doing the edits when her sister is at practice.

Julz works as a paid employee, according to Elle, while building her own social media business to help other student athletes maximise their NIL.

Olivia signed with WME Sports agency less than two months after the NIL rule change in 2021.

She made her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit debut in the 2023 issue, and has partnerships with Motorola cell phone company, Vuori clothing, EA Sports, Body Armor, Grubhub, Linktree, Forever 21, American Eagle Outfitters and Bartleby, which is a growing study app.

Dunne is devoted to remaining at the top of her game as a gymnast, and won’t be distracted by her social media side hustle.

The talented teen was a member of the USA gymnastics team in 2017 before competing at the National Championships the following year.

She was subsequently offered a full scholarship to Louisiana State University and is set to start her junior year there this fall.
