Lori Loughlin pleads not guilty in college admissions scam
Actress Lori Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli are charged with paying $500,000 in bribes to get their daughters admitted to the University of Southern California as crew recruits.
Embattled star, and daughter of Lori Loughlin, Olivia Jade Giannulli was spotted partying with fellow YouTube celebrities in California.
Jade hasn’t had much of a public presence since being implicated in the ongoing college admissions scandal that’s shown the lengths status-seeking parents will go to in order to secure their children a spot at coveted universities. Her parents, Loughlin and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, are accused of spending $500,000 on each of their daughters to make them look like recruits on the USC crew team despite never actually rowing in the sport.
According to TMZ, Jade was spotted at the home of YouTube star David Dobrik Thursday night in Studio City, CA. The outlet reports that Jade was having fun, but being careful not to give more ammunition for public scrutiny by reportedly asking the group to avoid using cell phones.
