Social media exploded on Friday when LSU gymnast and internet star Livvy Dunne posted a sexually suggestive comment in reply to a post comparing her to actress Madelyn Cline. The post went instantly viral, setting off a storm of responses, many of which indicated surprise and bewilderment.
The buzz started when an X (ex-Twitter) user joked about the next College World Series game between Coastal Carolina and LSU, saying it was the “Madelyn Cline vs Livvy Dunne Bowl.” The joke alluded to how briefly Cline attended Coastal Carolina and how popular Dunne is at LSU.
Livvy Dunne’s response, though, was a surprise twist. “Goer World Series,”** she wrote an expression most found disconcerting from the usually neat and brand-aware Dunne.
What Does ‘Goer’ Mean?
The term “gooner” is a colloquialism for a specialized sexual act of prolonged arousal without orgasm, a description many were surprised to apply to Dunne. With her squeaky-clean, positive social media presence and as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, the remark was unexpected.
Fans were quick to respond:
“Had to double check three times that this wasn’t a parody account,” one user posted. Another wondered, “She get hacked???
A harsher comment read, “Ew you’re not hot anymore.” One person clarified, “You realize this means M@sturbating P0rn Addict World Series.? Weird post.”
The tweet quickly gained traction, racking up over 186,000 views on X.
Silence from Madelyn Cline
As the web swirled, Madelyn Cline remained silent to the viral statement. Cline, who is most famous for playing a character in Netflix’s Outer Banks, is from South Carolina and briefly went to Coastal Carolina University before joining the acting industry in Los Angeles.
Public Persona of Dunne
Livvy Dunne has amassed a huge fan base online based on gymnastics and modeling, most recently catching eyes with a bikini-clad splits routine during a May 31 Miami Beach runway display. She is also currently dating Paul Skenes, a Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher and fellow LSU graduate.
Even though Dunne is famous for combining glamour with sports, the dramatic shift to risqué humor has left a lot of people wondering if the post was a deliberate move or just an occasional mistake. Either way, the incident has provided yet another layer to her already celebrity profile.
