Lori Loughlin's daughter Olivia Jade speaks out for the first time in eight months in new video


Olivia Jade is speaking out for the first time in almost a year since her parents Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli were part of the college admissions scandal earlier this year.

In the video on Youtube, she starts off by saying, ‘Obviously I have been gone for a really long time.’

‘As much as I wish I could talk about all of this, it’s really hard for me to say this because I know that it’s something that needs to be addressed. It’s just unfortunately which is also why I didn’t know when I should come back to Youtube. The reason for that is because I’m legally not allowed to speak on anything going on right now.’

The 20-year-old former influencer addressed what she could while speaking out about operation varsity blues in which her parents have pled not guilty as their part in the crime. 

‘A part of me is like ‘Should I come back to Youtube right now?’ she continued while sitting in a new bedroom that appeared to be different than the chic mansion she grew up in.

‘It’s been so long and I actually really really miss it. I genuinely miss filming and I feel like a huge part of me is just not the same because it’s something I am really passionate about and something I really like to do.’

She continued: ‘But I also didn’t know and debated for seven or eight months like well if I can’t talk about it is there a point in coming back? And not being able to say anything. I want to come back because I want to come back. There is no point in me just talking for 10 minutes to the camera about how I wish I could say something when I really can’t. So, I’m going to leave it at that.’
