ivvy Dunne, the former LSU gymnast and social media sensation, revealed she was rejected from buying Babe Ruth's iconic New York City apartment. The co-op board voted against her purchase, despite her plan to pay cash for the $1.59 million Upper West Side pad.
Dunne, who made an estimated $9.5 million through NCAA name, image, and likeness rules, claimed she was set to close the deal but received a call from the realtor saying the co-op board had denied her application. The building's residents effectively vetoed her purchase, leaving Dunne puzzled as to why.
The apartment, located at 345 W. 88th St, is a historic prewar residence that once belonged to Ruth and his family. It features high ceilings, oak floors, and modern amenities. Dunne had planned to decorate the space with an interior designer, but her plans were dashed when the co-op board rejected her.
Dunne joked about possible reasons for the rejection, including being an LSU fan or a public figure, but admitted she has no idea why residents in the building voted against her. The apartment's history and significance as Babe Ruth's former home likely played a role in the decision.
