Dunne, a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit featured, kept things light, polished and playful on social media, yet.
However, it all started when an X (formerly Twitter) user made a joke comparing the upcoming College World Series matchup between LSU and Coastal Carolina to a showdown: 'Madelyn Cline vs Livvy Dunne Bowl', a nod to Cline's brief time at Coastal Carolina and Dunne's athletic fame at LSU.

But Dunne's reply turned heads. 'Go**er World Series,' she responded. What does 'Go**er' mean?
The term 'gooner' is a slang reference tied to a niche sexual practice involving prolonged arousal without climax. For someone with Dunne's typically wholesome brand, the reply was shocking. Some fans were in disbelief.
One commented, 'Had to check three times that this wasn't a parody account,' while someone else questioned, 'She get hacked???'
'Ew you're not hot anymore,' another commented.
'You realize this means M@sturbating P0rn Addict World Series…? Weird post,' one clarified it more.
The tweet quickly went viral, with over 186,000 on X alone. What about Madelyn Cline
Madelyn Cline, for her part, hasn't responded to the viral post. The actress is best known for her role on the hit Netflix series Outer Banks. Originally from South Carolina, she briefly attended Coastal Carolina University before leaving to pursue acting in Los Angeles.
