Internet-famous LSU gymnast Olivia ‘Livvy’ Dunne is convinced TikTok has shadow-banned her after her views on the platform tanked.
Livvy Dunneis one of the most prominent athletes on social media. Aside from her status as a D1 athlete for Louisiana State University, she’s a big deal online, boastingmillions of followersacross multiple platforms.
In fact, Dunne is so popular thatLSU had to step up securityat its gymnastics competitions last year… but it looks like her current views onTikTokaren’t living up to the hype.
Despite Dunne’s nearly8 million followers,her views have tanked over the last 24 hours. Generally, Dunne’s videos garner at least one million views each, with her lowest over the last week being 1.3 and her highest being racking up 7 million.
Livvy Dunne convinced TikTok has shadowbanned her
On March 13, Dunneuploaded a videoshowing the creative way she literally ‘flips’ into bed at night… and a day later, it’s only garnered over 200K views.
The situation clearly baffled Dunne, who asked in a comment: “What in the shadowban is going on here?”
‘Shadow bans’ refer to instances where platforms suppress an account’s reach without outright nuking their profile… something Dunne believes is currently happening to her, although it’s unclear why, or if it’s actually taking place.
After asking why she was shadow banned, viewers confirmed that they weren’t seeing her on their timelines anymore — comments that are also being left on her latest remark about her possible shadow ban.
For now, there’s no explanation for Dunne’s low views, but it’s clear she’s convinced she’s being punished by the platform for an unknown reason.
