Lori Loughlin College Scandal: All About Her Daughter Olivia Jade
Olivia Giannulli made a name for herself online as Olivia Jade before her parents, Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli, made headlines for their role in a nationwide college admissions scam.
According to ABC News, the Fuller House star, 54, and the fashion designer, 55, were indicted on Tuesday, March 12, after they allegedly “agreed to pay bribes totaling $500,000 in exchange for having their two daughters designated as recruits to the USC crew team — despite the fact that they did not participate in crew — thereby facilitating their admission to USC.”
Us Weekly confirmed on Tuesday that Mossimo has been arrested, but Loughlin has yet to be taken into custody. A warrant has been issued for her arrest. Fellow actress Felicity Huffman, who shares two daughters with husband William H. Macy, has also been arrested for her alleged role in the scandal.
In addition to Olivia, Loughlin and Mossimo are parents of 20-year-old Bella, an aspiring actress who is also studying at USC.

5. She’s Faced Backlash
Olivia has come under fire twice in recent years for her YouTube videos. Back in August 2017, the teenager promised to never vlog and drive again after she filmed herself in the car moments before she was rear-ended at a red light. Loughlin defended her daughter to TMZ at the time. “She was not on her phone. That was all absolute BS,” the actress said.
More recently, Olivia was criticized for saying she went to college for “game days” and “partying” in August 2018. She later apologized in a second video for her “super ignorant and stupid” remarks.
