Livvy Dunne stuns fans with three-word sexual reference about herself and Madelyn Cline

Livvy Dunne, sent social media into a frenzy on Friday with a risqué comment concerning herself and actress Madelyn Cline. The former LSU gymnast is known for her bikini snaps on social media - as well as dating Pittsburgh Pirates star Paul Skenes - but boasts a relatively clean-cut image.

Not this time however. While she may usually be reserved in her interactions with fans, one comment on Friday was quite a departure from the norm.

The interaction began when a Twitter user referred to the upcoming College World Series between LSU and Coastal Carolina as the 'Madelyn Cline vs Livvy Dunne Bowl' - due to the duo's affiliations with the rival schools.

The relatively innocent comment then took a turn into an unexpected direction when Dunne responded: 'Gooner World Series'.

Her followers were left stunned. One response declared: "Had to check three times this wasn't a parody account".

A second questioned the reference by the gymnastics star turned Sports Ilustrated cover model, declaring simply: "This can't be real."

A third asked: "She get hacked???" while a fourth said simply: "This is crazy work."

A fifth declared: "Ain’t no damn way the word gooner is being thrown around like this".

It went out to her 186k followers on the social media website and at the time of writing had been viewed 1.9million times, generating 21k likes in less than two hours.

Cline is best known for her role in the Netflix series Outer Banks. The South Carolina native briefly attended Coastal Carolina University before dropping out to pursue acting in LA.

Model Dunne recently made her runway debut in Miami Beach on May 31, leaving fans gobsmacked as she performed the splits. And she has shown herself more than adept at holding her own on social media when combatting trolls - as well as using humour when engaging with fans - as her fame grows as one part of America's fastest-growing power couple.

While Pirates pitcher Skenes was in action against Detroit Tigers this week, the Tigers mascot - appropriately a tiger - held up a cheeky sign behind home plate that was clearly visible to the pitcher. It read: 'Sup Livvy Dunne.'

"Sorry... not my type of tiger," she posted on X with an equally witty retort.
