he YouTube star daughter of actress Lori Loughlin admitted just last week that her parents forced her to go to college and that her father 'faked his way' through school by using tuition money to start his design business.

Olivia Jade Giannulli has been slammed ever since her parents were charged Tuesday for paying $500,000 to get her and her 20-year-old sister Isabella into the University of Southern California.

Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli allegedly paid to have their two daughters labeled as USC crew team recruits, even though neither of them are rowers.

Olivia has since come under fire for 'ignorant' comments she has made about college, including an interview just last week in which she admitted that she only went to college because her parents forced her.

“Sad all around, and for a person like me who worked through college “

Really. Those years working in the college kitchen as a dishwasher when my parents could’ve bought my education. Oh, wait ... they couldn’t; they had no money. (Actually, we had a blast working in the kitchen. Still, it would’ve been nice not to HAVE to have done it.)

“I question why this is a federal matter. “

I think “mail fraud” was in the text. Federal.

Methinks that just like the Kardashian “porn video” - what we view as shameful, this young woman, who is already yearning to be a modern social media star, will parlay into increased fame.

This scandal could be the best thing that ever happened to her.

” in a lot of these cases supposedly the kid wasn’t even made aware of the cheating “

It was reported that a “really smart” person went and took the tests for the kids. The kids HAD to know when/where the exams were, and that they themselves were somewhere else. I think they knew — and they didn’t care.

Yes, in those cases, of course. But they also had proctors correcting the exams after the dullards had completed and submitted them, with the recorded discussions with the parents saying that the kids didn’t even have to know about it.

Not in every case. If you read the transcript some parents were adamant they did not want tbe kid to know. Some spouses wanted nothing to do with it. One boy confused when advisor described him as an athlete. He said I didn’t apply as an athlete.others too lazy to do own applic.

“but an argument could be made that she was trying to better her children”


No, she was just stepping on other children to give her own children someone else’s seat.

Oh, look!

It’s the “Eat your heart out, Bozo!” twins.

/S

Reminds me of an old Mad Magazine back cover.

First illustration was a can of worms, fishing-type worms and was labeled

“BAIT”

Second was a young tramp dressed like these two and it was labeled

“JAIL-BAIT”

The last illustration was of a very large diamond ring. It was labeled

“JAIL-BAIT BAIT”

Her mother Lori never went to college and became a millionaire from full house and other things. She wanted her daughter to have the experience she didn’t.

They have too much money to spend so much as a night in jail. Send some untraceable cash to a dem politician around there and this will all go away soon enough.
