After more than a year of radio silence on YouTube, Olivia Jade Giannulli is back on the vlog, but she doesn’t want to “remember” the scandal that sent her parents to prison.

Mossimo’s daughter Giannulli and Lori Loughlin vaguely mentioned her parents’ college admission scandal when talking to her 1.86 million subscribers on January 21, her first YouTube video since December 2019.
“I wanted to film this little intro part just because I didn’t want to, like, just start the vlog and I didn’t go into anything,” she said. “Obviously I did my ‘Red Table Talk’ interview and I think if you have any questions for me or have anything to say or if you think, ‘Why did you come back?’ you can watch this interview. I think I kind of revealed what I felt I needed to say there.

In March 2019, “Fuller House” star Lori and her husband were accused of paying an intermediary $ 500,000 to take Olivia and her older sister, Bella, to the University of Southern California through her team. , although none of the women have any experience in rowing. Coincidentally, after being accepted at USC, Olivia said she had no interest in the school.
“I don’t know how long I will be attending school, but I will come and talk to my principals and everyone and I hope I can try to balance everything,” she said in a video that was excluded from the fall of 2018. “But I want the experience of the day the game and the party, I really don’t care about school. As you all know. “
In the middle of the scandal, Olivia went missing on YouTube and her parents finally pleaded guilty. Both were sentenced to prison for the admission coup.

While both parents were in prison, Olivia gave an interview on “Red Table Talk”.
“I don’t mean it in a disdainful or pretentious way,” she said in her new YouTube broadcast. “I think what I was trying to convey is that I felt that the thing I most wanted to do was to apologize for so long and I felt that I had to do that at the ‘Red Table’. And although I cannot change the past, I can change how I act and what I do going forward. I just didn’t want anyone to misunderstand me and it looked like I was thinking: ‘I continued’ Red Table ‘and now my name is clear. ‘How not, that’s not it. “
“But just for my own sanity, I don’t want to go over things again,” she continued in the new video. “I just want to move on and do better and move on and go back and do what I love, which is YouTube. So you don’t have to watch it. Nobody is forcing you. But I didn’t want this to be misinterpreted, ok? Enjoy it. “
Lori was released from prison on December 28. Mossimo is currently in prison, but he is begging a judge to let him serve the rest of his five-month sentence at home. His team is arguing that conditions in prison are “much more extreme than what the court has recommended”.
