Olivia Jade and Bella Giannulli finally addressed the college admission scandal during their first joint interview and shared how much their family went through over the last two years, especially their mother, actress Lori Loughlin.

During an episode of "Conversations with Olivia Jade," Olivia said, "Even though I was also getting dragged negatively, it didn’t nearly affect me as much as seeing mom having all this thrown at her. She took this whole thing on her back, solely. There are a lot of people that were in this case, and a lot of other parents, and I do not know the name of one other person".

Olivia Jade and Bella Giannulli called Lori Loughlin the most incredible mother in the world and shared that it was frustrating for the entire family after the admission scandal broke. The scandal did cause a lot of anger within them. Olivia Jade added, "It was frustrating. When I would read about her, it caused a lot of anger within me. And I just think it’s interesting that when I read stuff about myself, it affected me and I cared, but it didn’t nearly affect me the same way as if I read it about Mom. "

Olivia Jade further mentioned that she started her YouTube channel before all of this happened, and when the news of the admission scandal broke, she kind of signed up for it. She mentioned the video she made about things she deeply regrets and was candid about her life. In her video that was posted in 2018, Olivia Jade titled "I am sorry," and added, "It totally came across that I’m ungrateful for college—I’m going to a really nice school. And it just kind of made it seem like I didn’t care, I just wanted to brush it off. I’m just going to be successful on YouTube and not have to worry about school. I’m really disappointed in myself. "

Whereas Bella Giannulli shared that the scandal not only shook her family but also affected her personal life as her "first real love" broke up with her four days after the news broke out in public. Talking about the breakup, Bella shared, "It was really hard to go through a breakup and then also have something even bigger and, honestly, more important on top of it. Because all I wanted to do was cry and mourn my relationship, and I couldn’t. The only thing that helps you through, the healer, is time. "

Explaining more about how hard her breakup was on her, Bella Giannulli shared, "I remember I was like beating myself up about it at one point because I remember when it first happened, I was talking to him. So I was like, "Oh, did I put too much on him? Did I scare him? ’ Then I looked back at it and, no. I was doing what you do when you have a boyfriend, and you talk to them when you’re scared and sad, and you don’t know what’s going on. "

Bella Giannulli also shared that from March to December, there were at least three cars outside her house waiting for one of their family members to leave. "Anytime I leave the house, the second you pull out of that driveway, there’s a car literally at a** of your car. From bumper to bumper, They are right behind you. God forbid you to have to slam on your breaks. You’re done. You are getting into a car accident, "she added.

Before this podcast interview, Olivia Jade spoke at Red Table Talk for an open conversation about what exactly happened and said, "I feel like a huge part of having privilege is not knowing you have privilege, and so when it was happening, it didn’t feel wrong. I also felt very misunderstood. The picture that has been painted of me, I feel, is not who I am. I’m not this bratty girl that doesn’t want to change anything. Also, I understand why people are angry and why people say hurtful things, and I would too if I wasn’t in my boat... When you read it, you realize that there’s some truth there. I understood that people were upset and angry, and maybe it took me a little longer to understand why, but man, am I glad I did realize that. "

The influencer who was recently seen on Dancing With Stars shared during Red Table Talk that she is not making any excuses on her part, but added, "On paper, it’s bad—it’s awful. But I think what a lot of people don’t know is that my parents came from a place of just, ‘I love my kids. I just want to help my kids—whatever is best for them. I worked my whole life to provide for my family.’ I think they thought it was normal", she said at the time. "There is no justifying or excusing what happened, because what happened was wrong, and I think every single person in my family can be like, ‘That was messed up. That was a big mistake. "

Olivia Jade mentioned that after the scandal broke, she felt too embarrassed to return to college and thought that she shouldn’t have been there in the first place. The influencer shared that she is now worried about seeing her name in the media. "I’m so scared of looking at my name because something bad is happening, and I’m the face of it. It's going to be this big thing that blows up in my face again. You live your life a little differently in my opinion. You kind of start to believe what people are telling you, like, you don’t deserve a second chance, and there is no room for growth, and you feel like, not to sound super dark, but how do you bounce back? I want to be alive. I still want to grow up, "she added.
