A gymnast from Louisiana State University has become a self-made millionaire by posting provocative pictures of her toned body online.
Olivia Dunne, a 20-year-old gymnast from Louisiana State University, has been making a considerable amount of money by posting provocative pictures of her toned body online. She has also signed name, image, and likeness deals that have earned her enough money to be considered a self-made millionaire. Although some people are happy with her success, others feel that Dunne is taking a “step back” by selling images of her body for profit, perpetuating sexism in sports.
College athletes, including female athletes, have been allowed to set up NIL deals this year. Female athletes, in particular, are expected to show some skin in order to obtain these lucrative deals as they continue to post candid and racy shots of themselves on various social media platforms while raking in tens of thousands of dollars – and even millions of dollars – in some cases.
Dunne has attracted criticism from some quarters. Tara VanDerveer, Stanford University’s top coach, believes that posting provocative pictures is a step back for women’s sports.
“I guess sometimes we have this swinging pendulum, where we maybe take two steps forward, and then we take a step back,” VanDerveer said. “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.”
Despite the backlash, Dunne is happy with her lucrative side gig. She explains that posting sexy pictures and getting sponsorship deals has helped supplement her income in such a way as to become an official millionaire.
“Seven figures,” she told the Times. “That is something I’m proud of. Especially since I’m a woman in college sports. There are no professional leagues for most women’s sports after college.”
Haley Jones, an All-American guard at Stanford, believes that young college athletes need to take advantage of social media or lose out on perhaps the most lucrative endorsement opportunities of their sports careers.
“You can go outside wearing sweatpants and a puffer jacket, and you’ll be sexualized,” Jones told the Times. “I could be on a podcast, and it could just be my voice, and I’ll face the same thing. So, I think it will be there, no matter what you do or how you present yourself.”
The controversy surrounding Dunne’s provocative pictures highlights the ongoing debate about the role of sexuality in sports. While some argue that it is an important part of self-expression and financial success, others feel that it perpetuates sexist stereotypes and undermines the progress made towards equality in sports.
Regardless of where one falls on the spectrum, Dunne’s success in obtaining sponsorship deals and making money from her provocative pictures is a reminder that athletes have the right to express themselves in the ways that they see fit. However, it is also important to consider the potential impact on the wider community and to continue to strive towards equality and respect for all athletes.
