Olivia Dunne attempted to purchase Babe Ruth's former apartment for approximately $1.6 million. Her offer was rejected by the building board, which led to considerable disappointment for her. She had started the process by hiring an interior designer to transform the historic space, emphasizing her excitement over the purchase. Dunne made a light-hearted comment suggesting that her history with LSU might have influenced the decision against her, hinting at a possible bias among the co-op board members.
'Guys, I'm so upset. So a few months ago, I decided I was going to make my first real estate purchase, which is so exciting. And I was going to get an apartment in New York City. But the gag was, it was Babe Ruth's apartment.'
'It got to the point where the realtor was so confident, Paul and I went, I got an interior designer because I didn't want to bring my college furniture to Babe Ruth's apartment, that would be like, criminal.'
'Then the week that I'm supposed to get my keys to my brand new apartment, I get a call: The co-op board denied me. So pretty much the people in the building voted to not have me live there, which is fine. Like, honestly, it wasn't financial.'
