Lori Loughlin’s daughter Olivia Jade feels her parents ‘ruined everything’ as the actress and her husband was charged in the college bribery scandal.
The 19-year-old had begged her parents to let her focus on her career as a YouTube vlogger and Instagram influencer, but they pushed her to go to school.
Now, after being dropped by major brands including Sephora and TRESemme, Olivia believes ‘they have ruined everything’.
Olivia is a well-known beauty blogger in the world of YouTube and last week she came into headlines for all wrong reasons as her parents were arrested for allegedly paying a $500,000 bribe to get Olivia and her older sister Isabella, 20, into USC.
‘’Bella and Olivia are suffering in their own ways from the fallout of their parents’’ decisions,’ a source told Entertainment Tonight this week.
While Bella was ‘far more invested in college and would have loved to have completed USC’, Olivia is devastated over the damage that has been done to her brand.
‘’[Olivia] is really angry with her parents because she told them she did not want to go to college and she was pushed,’’ the source added.
‘’She has been passionate about her career and wanted to work and was doing well, but that wasn’t enough. Her parents said she would have to juggle college and her career.’’
‘’Now she’s devastated because everything she built imploded before her eyes. She feels they ruined everything.’’
The source said that Olivia is so embarrassed by the scandal that she ‘doesn’t even want to go out’.
‘’Bella and Olivia have a very tight-knit group of friends who have been there to support them,’ they continued. ‘They’ve needed that support because they’re being attacked at every turn.’’
After this scandal, Olivia’s past YouTube videos have resurfaced.
In one video filmed on her last day of high school, Olivia admitted that she rarely attended classes.
‘’I’m, like, excited to go prank my, like, do the school prank, but I’m also literally never at school that I think my class doesn’t even and maybe they forget I go there!’ the teen said, before claiming she was ‘just kidding!’
Court documents released last week also alleged that Olivia hadn’t even written her own college applications.
The couple allegedly paid $500,000 total in bribes to have their daughters admitted to USC as crew recruits with the help of Singer and USC senior associate athletic director Dr Donna Heinel.
