It’s the meet season for LSU Tigers women’s gymnastics, featuring star athlete Olivia Dunne in her senior year. The 21-year-old enjoys the support of her mother, Katherine, and sister, social media influencer Julz Dunne, who were present at Monday’s meet in Baton Rouge at the PMAC.
Julz, capturing her pre-event moments on TikTok with a sizable following of 462,000, showcased her lighthearted antics, including enjoying a few drinks while her mother preferred an early arrival.
Blaming Her ‘Psychotic’ Mother
“Alright, because my psychotic mother likes to get to meets an hour and a half early, I’m gonna vlog how many beers I can finish before the meet is over,” the 22-year-old humorously narrated in the short clip, clinking her Michelob Ultra against her phone’s camera.
“So I sipped on beer number two before the girls finished warms,” Julz added while holding another Michelob Ultra. “Before I could grab a third, the girls were running out of the tunnels, and they were doing the introductions yadda, yadda, yadda. I really couldn’t give a f–k because all I wanted to do was go to the concessions.”
On To Another Beer
Continuing her lighthearted documentation, Julz reappeared, this time showcasing a tall boy of Miller Lite.
“I grabbed beer number three [and] watched my sister get ready,” she said. “And I thought, what better time than now to then grab beer number four, so I did that, drank that.”
When Julz mentioned that it was Dunne’s turn on the mat, she said, “And then I lost my ever-loving s–t watching my sister compete,” adding, “If you know me, I sound like a 45-year-old divorced man at a bar watching his favorite NFL team on a Sunday screaming at the TV.”
Being A Supportive Sister
“After all that yelling, I felt pretty parched, so I threw back beer number five, and I celebrated that Tiger dub with a mojito,” Julz concluded the video, closing with a final shot of the sisters enjoying a meal after the Tigers’ victory.

In a July 2023 Elle interview, the SI Swimsuit model affectionately referred to Julz as “sometimes the brains behind the operation” regarding her social media presence. The duo collaborates on video concepts, filming together, with her older sister often handling the editing while Dunne is at gymnastics practice.
Having recently graduated from LSU with a degree in kinesiology, Julz is currently employed by Dunne while simultaneously establishing her own social media business — a role that seemingly comes with some liquid perks.
Gaining Fame
Dunne gained fame primarily through her exceptional talent and achievements in gymnastics. As a highly skilled gymnast, she has competed at elite levels, representing the United States in various competitions.
Dunne’s rise to prominence escalated when she joined the LSU Tigers women’s gymnastics team for her collegiate career. Additionally, her active presence on social media platforms, where she shares glimpses of her gymnastics routines, training sessions, and personal life, has contributed to her growing popularity. Her engaging content, combined with her gymnastic prowess, has attracted a substantial following and solidified her status as a well-known figure in the gymnastics community.
