Olivia Jade Giannulli, the 21 year-old daughter of former “Fuller House” star Lori Loughlin and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, spoke out on Tuesday to give her side of the story of the college admissions scandal in a bombshell interview.

Loughlin and Giannulli are both currently in prison on charges related to them allegedly paying $500,000 in bribe money to have Olivia Jade and her older sister Isabella admitted to the University of Southern California as members of the crew team, even though neither girl had ever rowed before. In an interview on Red Table Talk with actress Jada Pinkett Smith, Olivia Jade shockingly admitted that she initially was shocked that people were mad about what her parents had done because she did not see anything wrong with it.

“When all of this first happened and it became public, I remember thinking — which, my thoughts are completely different now — but I remember thinking, ‘How are people mad about this?'” Olivia Jade recalled. “I know that sounds so silly but in the bubble I grew up in, I didn’t know so much outside of it, and a lot of kids in that bubble, their kids were donating to schools and doing stuff …. so many advantages, it’s not fair and its not right, but it was happening. And so when this first came out I was like, ‘I don’t really understand, what is wrong with this?'”

She went on to try and explain her parents’ mindset by suggesting that they had a similar way of thinking.

“I just want people to know, they were just, like, in their heads,” she explained. “It was like, ‘Everybody has a college counselor and I will just donate to a school like all my friends did with their kids,’ and I think what is crazier is how so many people in our area don’t recognize that it’s wrong. I think although it took a crazy experience for me and my family to realize that, I am happy that we do. That will never happen when I have kids — that will never happen.”

Though Olivia Jade went on to acknowledge that her parents did something wrong, she also wants the public to understand where she feels that they are coming from.

“I can understand how wrong it is and we had the means to do something and we completely took it and ran with it and it’s something that was wrong,” the social media influencer said. “It really can’t be excused, like on paper it’s bad, it’s really bad. But I think what a lot of people don’t know is my parents came from a place of, ‘I love my kids, I just want to help my kids, whatever is best for them. I have worked my whole life to provide for my family.”

“I think they thought it was normal,” Olivia Jade added. “And I think that there was a college counselor involved who seemed legitimate and ended up not being legitimate, and in that community, it was not out of the ordinary, and it’s embarrassing to say that I didn’t know.”

Olivia Jade admitted that she never went back to USC because she “was too embarrassed. I shouldn’t have been there in the first place, clearly, so there was no point in me trying to go back.” These days, she’s just trying to look to the future.
