Olivia Jade, the daughter of actress Lori Loughlin and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, has reportedly mended ties with her mother after initially giving her the cold shoulder over the college admissions scandal. According to an insider speaking to Us Weekly, the 19-year-old influencer is now back in communication with Loughlin, realising that her parents were 'just trying to do what’s best for her.'
The reconciliation comes after Loughlin and Giannulli pleaded not guilty on Monday to charges of paying $500,000 in bribes to secure their daughters' admission to the University of Southern California. The couple is among 50 individuals charged in a sweeping college admissions bribery scheme that has implicated elite universities across the United States.
Olivia Jade, who lost endorsement deals with Sephora and TRESemmé following her parents' arrest, is now focusing on rebuilding her career as a social media influencer. Insiders say she is 'hoping to be famous for the right reasons again.' Her younger sister, Isabella Rose, also reportedly benefited from the scheme.
Loughlin and Giannulli face charges of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud, each carrying a potential sentence of up to 20 years in prison. They have waived their right to appear at arraignment and are expected to fight the charges in court.
