College Admissions Scandal Update: Lori Loughlin, Olivia Jade 'At Odds' After 'Big Betrayal'

In the past month, Lori Loughlin's daughter Olivia Jade has returned to social media. Previously, the influencer had remained silent due to her parents' involvement in the ongoing college admissions scandal. Both Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli have been accused of paying Rick Singer $500,000 so that both Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose could attend the University of Southern California (USC).

Since then, they have faced charges of mail and wire fraud, honest services mail and wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit federal programs bribery, but have pleaded not guilty.

The YouTuber's first public appearance following the admissions scam came on Dec. 1 when she posted a short video called "hi again." In it, she shared that she had missed being on the streaming platform and had debated when was the right time to come back. However, not everyone was pleased to learn of her return.

Shortly thereafter, she also began posting selfies on her Instagram page, which can be seen below.

According to Us Weekly, Loughlin is not pleased with her daughter's decision to return to the public eye. A source recently revealed to the publication that the "Fuller House" actress had "explicitly instructed her daughter to stay off social media until well after she and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, learn their fate at their upcoming trial."

Continuing, the insider revealed that she had been "very clear in telling Olivia to remain quiet and not do anything controversial." Eventually, the YouTuber had reportedly "had enough" of not being able to discuss her side of the story, which is what prompted her return.

Now, the family is said to be "at odds" over the decision. "Olivia's YouTube video was a big betrayal, and cracks in the family are starting to show." The sentiment expressed in these comments mimicked those that were expressed in an October report. At that time, it was said that the entire family was in "chaos."

As for what the future holds for Olivia Jade, reputation and brand management expert Eric Schiffer previously shared that he believed that Olivia's "defiant" attitude could have "catastrophic effects" on her career down the road. It also remains unclear whether or not both she and her sister will formally be charged as defendants.
