Olivia Jade has gained more traction online after becoming embroiled in the Varsity Blues Admission Scandal. A conspiracy was unearthed by the FBI, where several high-profile celebrities had paid their way to get their children into prestigious universities. Jade’s parents Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli were a few amongst many who were caught.

As news of Olivia Jade’s latest project flooded the internet, many netizens took to Twitter to criticize the California-native. Some tweets regarding Olivia Jade included:

“her mom will pay producers to keep her in the show”

Another tweet read:

“This is literally just promoting what she did”

As the news of her parents paying $500,000 as “donation” and them making false promises of their children being rowers to get them into the University of Southern California surfaced online, Jade immediately stepped away from her social media platforms. Olivia Jade now holds over 1.84 million subscribers on her YouTube channel. Brands including Sephora and TRESemme revoked their partnership with the famous influencer following news of the scandal.

Olivia Jade returned to the internet this year, appearing on Red Table Talk with Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith and Adrienne Banfield-Norris. Jade publicly apologized and spoke in detail about not being aware of her own privileges when the scandal took place.

Jade’s parents Loughlin and Giannulli, both served time in prison after pleading guilty. Loughlin spent two months in federal prison before being released in December, while Giannulli spent five months in prison until he was released in early April.

As Olivia Jade continues to post 'Day In The Life’ vlogs on her YouTube channel, her parents are yet to make a cameo appearance.
