Sometimes, even when you’re the star of the show, things don’t go quite as planned.
That was the case for former LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne, who had a wild day in New York City while attending the second edition of Fanatics Fest on Friday.
A Sticky Welcome at Fanatics Fest
Livvy, now 22, was greeted with more than just cheers when she stepped into the event.
She ended up soaked in Sprite after a funny mishap during a hug.
As she embraced someone holding a can of the soda, it slipped from his hand and crashed to the floor—unleashing a fizzy explosion of Sprite that doused Livvy’s jeans and white sleeveless top.
Despite the mess, Livvy kept her cool and laughed it off.
Ever the good sport, she even apologized to the guy, showing she wasn’t taking the soda shower too seriously.
A Star-Studded Line-Up
The fest wasn’t short on famous faces either.
The crowd was packed with high-profile athletes and media personalities like Tom Brady, Russell Wilson, Peyton Manning, Stephen A. Smith, and Jaxson Dart.
But it’s safe to say Livvy’s unexpected shower ended up stealing the spotlight.
Twitter Goes Wild After Surprising Comment
Livvy didn’t just make headlines for her Sprite moment—she also stirred up a social media storm earlier in the day.
When someone on X (formerly Twitter) jokingly referred to the upcoming College World Series between LSU and Coastal Carolina as the “Madelyn Cline vs Livvy Dunne Bowl,” Livvy responded with a comment that no one saw coming.
Her reply? A cryptic but provocative two-word phrase: “Gooner World Series.”
Fans React With Shock and Confusion
The internet immediately lit up.
Many fans were puzzled—and some a bit shocked—by the term.
For those unfamiliar, “gooner” is often associated with a specific sexual reference involving prolonged self-stimulation.
One follower posted, “This can’t be real,” while another said they had to check multiple times to make sure it wasn’t a parody account.
Some even speculated whether her account had been hacked.
But the post remained up, suggesting it was, in fact, Livvy’s doing.
From Gymnastics Fame to Viral Moments
Livvy Dunne, who built a massive following during her LSU gymnastics career, has become known just as much for her social media presence as her athletic achievements.
And whether it’s a soda accident or a wild tweet, she sure knows how to keep people talking.
