Livvy Dunne's Viral 'Gross' Moment: Fans React to Sweaty Support at Skenes' Final Game

Ex-college gymnast Livvy Dunne was seen - literally - sweating out a start from her boyfriend, Pittsburgh Pirates starter Paul Skenes, as she accidentally showed off some armpit sweat

LIVVY DUNNE'S GAME FACE: Former Gymnast's Nervous Breakdown on Display as Boyfriend Paul Skenes Takes the Mound

In a drama-filled afternoon at Great American Ball Park, former college gymnast Livvy Dunne was spotted in distress as she watched her boyfriend, Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes, take on the Cincinnati Reds. The tension was palpable as Dunne anxiously cheered Skenes on from the suite, with cameras capturing her every nervous twitch.

As the game heated up in the third inning, Dunne's anxiety reached a boiling point. She was seen clutching her hands tightly together, her knuckles white with stress. "Come on!" she shouted to Skenes, her voice echoing through the stadium. But despite her efforts, Skenes struggled to contain the Reds' offense, and the game remained neck and neck throughout.

But it wasn't just Dunne's reactions that had fans buzzing - her own personal hygiene also came under scrutiny. Social media lit up with comments about the noticeable sweat stains on her grey shirt, with some creepily suggesting they'd like to purchase the unwashed garment. "Put your arms down, that's gross!" read one comment under a TMZ article about the incident.

Others took a more disgusting turn, seemingly judging Dunne for sweating in public. "Nasty," "Gross," and "Ewww wtf?" were just some of the comments that flooded the internet. But when asked about her reactions on social media, Dunne played it cool, reposting an ESPN article with the caption: "Can't blame a gal for being nervous."

Meanwhile, Skenes was busy putting on a show on the mound. Despite a tough season for the Pirates, he's solidified himself as one of the top pitchers in the majors. His impressive stats - 7.6 WAR, 1.97 ERA, and 216 strikeouts across 187.2 innings - have many fans predicting a Cy Young Award nod.

But will Skenes take home the coveted prize? It's likely he'll be a finalist at the very least, but his performance against the Reds in this final game of the season has left many wondering if it was enough to seal the deal. In the end, the Pirates emerged victorious, but Skenes' efforts went unrewarded - for now.

TheScholarlyNote.com caught up with a source close to the couple, who revealed: "Livvy's always been super supportive of Paul, and this game was no exception. She was worried sick that he'd struggle on the mound, but in the end, he came through." When asked about the sweat stains, the insider chuckled and said: "Hey, at least she wasn't too nervous to let herself get a little sweaty - right?"

As for Dunne, it seems she's taking the whole ordeal in stride. When reached for comment, she simply shrugged off the controversy, saying: "I'm just proud of Paul for an amazing season. And hey, at least my shirt was comfy, right?" TheScholarlyNote.com wishes Livvy and Paul all the best for their next adventure - may it be a little less sweat-inducing!
