Fury at ‘influencer’ Olivia Giannulli, face of US college bribery scam and daughter of Full House’s Lori Loughlin, who says she didn’t even care about school
- Olivia Giannulli and sister Isabella are the daughters of Full House actress Lori Loughlin, who allegedly paid US$500,000 in bribes to get them into USC
- But Olivia Giannulli, who has social media deals with Amazon and Sephora, says she’d ‘way rather be filming 24/7 than sitting in six hours of classes’
The daughters of Full House actress Lori Loughlin became targets of scorn on social media on Tuesday after their mother was charged in an alleged scheme to help privileged Americans get their children into elite universities by fraudulent means.
“What a slap in the face for people who are wait-listed, or people who are academically smart but can’t afford college,” wrote one Instagram user, @tyleranny. “Rich privilege truly is a thing. U didn’t even have to go to college, u can afford not to.”
Loughlin and her husband, designer Mossimo Giannulli, paid bribes of US$$500,000 in a scheme that involved cheating on college entrance exams to help their daughters, Isabella and Olivia Giannulli, get into the University of Southern California, according to court documents.
Representatives for Loughlin and Giannulli, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The daughters could not immediately be reached for comment.
