College Admissions Scandal Update: Lori Loughlin Worried Trial Could Be 'Hurt' By Decision
New reports continue to emerge as Lori Loughlin moves closer to her upcoming trial. This time, a source has indicated that the "Fuller House" actress may be considering an unexpected step in order to prevent her daughter, Olivia Jade, from appearing on her YouTube channel.
In 2019, Loughlin and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, allegedly paid William "Rick" Singer $500,000 so that Olivia Jade, along with her sister Isabella Rose, could attend the University of Southern California (USC). After the allegations, they were each charged with mail and wire fraud, honest services mail and wire fraud, money laundering, and conspiracy to commit federal programs bribery.
According to Celebrity Insider, the March 23 issue of Star magazine states that the "When Calls the Heart" actress was "infuriated" by her daughter's decision to return to the streaming platform. An insider then added that it was not the right time to resurface in the public eye, as Loughlin felt doing so could potentially "hurt" her future court dates.
Additionally, the source said that after Olivia attended a recent party both Loughlin and Giannulli told her that she needed to reduce the amount of information that she was sharing online.
"Lori’s been texting and emailing Olivia daily, ordering her to stop posting and to think about her parents for once in her life. But Olivia refuses to listen. Lori hasn’t sent her a cease-and-desist letter yet, but she’s getting so desperate, she just might!” the source told the outlet.
This is not the first time that reports have surfaced that indicated a rift emerged due to Olivia's YouTube account. Previously, it was said that the Hallmark star was angered by her daughter's activity on the streaming site due to the fact that she saw it as a "big betrayal." Additionally, it was also said that the short clip she posted after her hiatus was both scripted and that the content was dictated.
