However, an Instagrammer named John Dorsey has re-released a video in which he critiques Dunne's supposed Photoshopping.
He claims that "In nearly every single photograph she squeezes her waist in from the back of the front."
This is accompanied by five sets of photos which he breaks down one by one.
For example, in a shot of Dunne posing on a balcony, Dorsey highlights what he says is an example of her 'crunching' her waist with the siding in the background supposedly left crooked.

Other examples included what he claimed was a warped door in the back of shot, a bent chair, and crooked crown moldings.
"You have millions of young women following you," Dorsey said.
"It's kind of your duty to not do this. These young women will want to look like you and you can't even look like you without Photoshop.
"So where does that leave them? If you were just a small time account the responsibility doesn't really lie on you, but in this case, millions of people are watching. You should act like it."

Dunne has yet to respond to his bold claims, however, plenty of his followers have shared their thoughts.
"I'm glad you covered this," one follower commented.
"She is the highest earner on the NCAA circuit and obviously has a huge reach.
"In a sport fraught with body image issues and eating disorders, having someone like this playing edited photos to look even more unattainable is reprehensible IMO.
"Women in gymnastics have been pulling together to combat abuses, with the exception of this girl. What a poor role model."
A second added: "Gymnastics coach here. Young girls can be so insecure, this doesn't help at all."
By comparison, a third said: "Stay away from that queen, you've gone too far."
While one hit out even harder at Dorsey: "The gymnastics and cheer culture have a great negative impact on the mindset of young girls, almost like grooming.
"She worked hard to get where she is. She doesn't owe anyone an unedited photo. Gymnasts often feel "big" or "muscular," and what Liv is doing is not with bad intention.
"She isn't pushing any program to buy. It is a parents' job to teach their kids that not everything on the internet is real because it isn't.
"Frankly, what she's doing isn't harming anyone, as long as they have their priorities straight.
"Stop caring about society and their expectation, then you will be a lot happier, and you won't care about people editing their photos (Unless they are genuinely trying to scam people)."
