Liu became a sensation following hergold medal-winning free skateto Donna Summer's "MacArthur Park" at the 2026Winter Olympics. While the figure skater has become known for her carefree and joyful persona, she has suddenly been thrust into the spotlight, which has brought some unwelcome attention.

Liu revealed that she was "chased" after getting off her flight on Wednesday. She asked the public for privacy after the stressful experience.

"So I land at the airport & there's a crowd waiting at the exit with cameras & things for me to sign," Liu shared in an Instagram Story on March 4. "All up in my personal space. Someone chased me to my car bruh. Please do not do that to me."

Liu, who is from Oakland, Calif., has been jetsetting across the country to discuss her skating career and Olympic wins. Her return from the Milan Cortina games has been quite a whirlwind. While disembarking her homecoming flight on Feb. 24 at the San Francisco International Airport, viral TikTok videos showedDelta employees givingher a shout-out andspectators waitingin the airport terminals for her arrival.

The 20-year-old Olympian became the first United States woman to claim the gold since Sarah Hughes won at the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City. She also won gold in the team figure skating event alongside teammates Ilia Malinin, Amber Glenn, Madison Chock, Evan Bates, Ellie Kam, and Danny O'Shea.

Luckily, Liu appears to be taking time for herself in spite of the madness. She toldTeen Voguethat she rested in the Bay Area immediately after the games.

"I went home and I literally did whatever I wanted for five days," she said. "I didn't have any media, and I had no commitments, so it was really great. I got to see a lot of my friends again, and just relax and catch up on sleep. I skated twice just because I wanted to."

RHOBH’s Amanda Frances Exposes Secrets Behind Selling Sunset; Calls Out Fake Scene

Amanda Francesjust manifested another headline. Before joining the cast ofReal Housewives of Beverly Hills, Amanda made a brief appearance onSelling Sunset. In this Netflix series, viewers saw Amanda sitting down with her then-real estate agent,Davina Potratz. They shared a tense conversation, which quickly went viral once Amanda made her debut on RHOBH. But this clip, according to Amanda, is fake.

Amanda Frances also threw some shade at Selling Sunset alum Davina Potratz

In a recent interview with Page Six's Virtual Reali-Tea podcast,Amanda opened upabout this clip. "Davina was my agent in real life. She helped me find my first Bel-Air house," Amanda said. Overall, "she was wonderful."

Davina next told Amanda that she'd love to help her sell her West Hollywood house "on the show." But this house was undergoing renovations. Amanda managed to complete these renovations, but only "six hours before the camera crew got there. So when I'm telling her I need more time before I'm ready to sell, it's because I haven't even enjoyed the house yet," Amanda explained.

But "in that final scene, where I fire Davina," well, that one's manufactured.As Amanda claimed, "I fired her over six months before that. She knew she was fired. When you see me sitting at my kitchen table, that house had already sold," she said.

"I did Selling Sunset a favor. They said, we need you to do one more scene. We have to wrap up the story for Davina. Why didn't you give her the listing?" But as Amanda reportedly answered, Davina "cared more about reality TV thanbeing an agent."

Amanda continued, "She cared more about getting the selfie in my house of her rented Chanel outfit than she cared about, like, actually helping me sell the house."

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hillsairs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock.Selling Sunsetis available to stream on Netflix.
