Olivia Jade Addresses “Big Misconception” About Admissions Scandal

Olivia Jade wants to set the record straight about the “rumors” she’s read all over the Internet in the wake of the 2019 college admissions scandal.
 
During the latest episode of her podcast, Conversations with Olivia Jade, the 22-year-old opened up about what she describes as being “big misconceptions” surrounding her work ethic, while also explaining that she recognizes her privilege and upbringing.
 
Olivia’s parents, Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli, made headlines in 2019 after the couple was indicted for allegedly paying $500,000 in bribes to have Olivia and her younger sister Bella admitted to the University of Southern California as recruits to the school’s rowing team, even though they are not athletes.

“I am super aware that I’ve been given opportunities because of my parents and that I live a very blessed and fortunate and privileged life,” she shared during the Jan. 3 episode. “But then there’s also a part of me that feels… it’s tricky. It’s hard to speak on because I know that to the average human, I have it easy.”
