There’s a big difference between “none of this was her idea” and not knowing about or going along with it.
From what I’ve read about this, she originally told her parents that she did not want to go to college, but they insisted.................
Very difficult to believe Olivia didn’t know about the scam. First, she posed for pictures while sitting on a rowing machine, and, from what I have read, she applied to USC as a rower. Did she ever ask Mom and Dad why the picture on the rowing machine was needed? Did she ever read her application and sign it? If she read it, did she see anything in the application stating she was applying as a rower? If she never asked questions, or never read her application, then she willfully blinded herself to the scam. If she knew why the picture was needed, or knew what the application said, then she played an active role in the scam. In either case, she deserved no sympathy. If she truly didn’t know enough to ask questions, or didn’t know she should read her application, then she truly is a dim bulb, but one with lots of money.
