Livvy Dunne reveals Andrew Tate slid into her DMs — and her horrified reaction

It was one and Dunne for her.

Former college gymnast and social media star Livvy Dunne has revealed her horrified reaction when the now-caged accused rapist and manosphere influencer Andrew Tate once slid into her DMs.

The 23-year-old was asked at Fanatics Fest in New York last weekend about the funniest private message she had ever received on social media and said it was from “certain people that just get me weak.”

“I know this is controversial,” the former LSU Tigers artistic gymnast spilled. “Andrew Tate one time messaged me and I was like, I need to like delete Instagram forever.

“And then his account got deactivated and that was that.”

The interviewer was left stunned and told Dunne, “Oh my god, I would delete my own Instagram too after that point.”

Dunne didn’t say when the message from Tate arrived in her inbox. But the bro-world influencer and former kickboxer was banned from Instagram and other social media sites in the summer of 2022 for hate speech.

That would mean Tate shot his shot about a year before it became known Dunne was dating her current beau, Pittsburgh Pirates pitching phenom Paul Skenes, a former LSU classmate.

Dunne didn’t elaborate on what Tate told her as she appeared at Fanatics Fest in the Jacob K. Javits Center in Hell’s Kitchen last Saturday. But in an earlier interview about the message, she said Tate told her, “Come to Europe, dear,” with a rose emoji.

The same day Dunne spoke, Tate, 39, and his brother Tristan, 38, were arrested by US Marshals at a bare-knuckle boxing event in Miami.

The brothers are facing extradition to the UK, where they are now charged with a combined total of 59 counts, including rape, sex trafficking, possession of indecent images of a child and assault.

Prosecutors there said Saturday that new charges were brought forward after British police investigated claims made by an additional four victims.

Following the Tates’ arrest in Florida, UK attorney Matt Jury –– who represents four alleged victims of Andrew Tate in a civil case there –– told The Post that it had come after years of campaigning by the British women.

“They have spent years fighting for action to be taken, and I now urge the authorities to ensure this case proceeds as quickly as possible,” Jury said.

The Tate brothers deny the allegations against them.

“We are confident that once a competent judge sees the facts, and once the Department of Justice confronts this egregious abuse of its own authority, Andrew and Tristan Tate will walk free,” their lawyer, Joseph McBride, said in a statement after their arrest.

Tate took to X Thursday to claim he was being held at the special housing unit (SHU) in federal detention in Miami and complain that his neighbor was a “cannibal who screams throughout the night.”

“This is punitive housing for people who murder their cellmates,” he wrote on X Friday, after six days in custody. “No commissary, no phone calls, no yard time.”

“The worst possible conditions the US gov provides to terrorists and psychopaths. I am an innocent until proven guilty extradition detainee. I’m wanted by a foreign state. I am an American citizen. WHY AM I HERE?”
