One of the weird things about the recent college admissions scandal that Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman are caught up in is that the parents who actually committed the crimes look like the good guys and their apathetic idiot trust fund children look like the villains.
For example, take Olivia Jade Giannulli, Lori Loughlin’s daughter. Her life’s goal is basically to be a Kardashian. And not one of the good, “becoming a lawyer to help poor people” Kardashians, one of the “screen printing your face on a Tupac concert shirt” Kardashians.
Olivia Jade’s latest move is to beg USC to let her back in, according to Us Weekly.
“Olivia Jade wants to go back to USC,” a source told Us. “She didn’t get officially kicked out and she is begging the school to let her back in.”
But of course, she doesn’t actually want to go back to USC. She didn’t want to go there in the first place. She wants to sell makeup on Instagram and make YouTube videos about how she likes drinking and hates knowing how to read.
Unfortunately for Giannulli, 19, she’s unlikely to get her wish anytime soon. “She knows they won’t let her in, so she’s hoping this info gets out,” a separate insider explained. “She wants to come out looking like she’s changed, learned life lessons and is growing as a person, so she for sure wants people to think she is interested in her education.”
See? She thinks maybe if she says what she thinks people want to hear, that she isn’t a spoiled brat who squandered her parents’ bribe that she’ll get her sponsorships back. If I were her I’d just lean into it, it’s not like being a terrible person has stopped any other minor celebrities.
