Jade is the daughter of actress Lori Loughlin and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli. Loughlin is best known for playing Aunt Becky on the classic sitcom Full House, while Giannulli is a fashion designer who created the popular Mossimo clothing brand.
What Was the ‘Varsity Blues’ College Admission Scandal?
The family was also at the center of controversy in 2019 when Jade’s parents were arrested and later pleaded guilty to their involvement in the high-profile Operation Varsity Blues college admissions scandal.
It was reported that they paid $500,000 in bribes to falsely designate Olivia Jade and her older sister, Isabella Rose, as recruits for the University of Southern California crew team in an effort to secure their admission.
Both parents subsequently served brief federal prison sentences for their involvement in the scheme. The 26-year-old later said that her family learned from the episode, calling the whole situation ‘messed up’.
“What happened was wrong and I think every single person in my family can look at it and be like that was messed up, that was a big mistake but I think what’s so important to me is to learn from the mistake. Not to be shamed and punished and never given a second chance… I’m 21. I feel like I deserve a second chance to redeem myself to show I’ve grown,” she had said.
