I hope all of you who have been sanctimoniously attacking this family are proud of yourselves.
No, theyd been embarrassed out if college.
Do try to keep up.
Embarrassed/bullied...
what's the difference?
The difference is they weren't picked on for not fitting the mold (bullied), they were so ridiculous as being part of these shenanigans, they and their parents made them a target for ridicule. Maybe they will spend their lives as wealthy, un-schooled shut ins. Who cares?

shareWhatever the reasons, bullying is uncalled for.
I used to think it was okay to bully people with more power and privilege than me. Now I realise that bullying is wrong whatever the circumstances, even where the victim is a rich, cis, straight white man. Bullying by its definition is cruel and mean-spirited.
You can certainly criticise a person who has acted unreasonably and unfairly, but hounding them and belittling them is never on.
Oh those crazy sorority sisters
shareDoes Olivia Jade deserve sympathy, considering she lost a lucrative career over something her parents forced her to do?

I never said I sympathised with Olivia Jade. I don't. She's clearly a very spoiled young woman.
But I don't approve of the bullying.
Really?
You don’t know?
Spend less time posting and more time learning.
Hey, that was uncalled for.
I was just sharing a joke with you on another thread, and now I see you're attacking me apropos of nothing.
And yes, embarrassing someone is a form of bullying.
Olivia Jade is a public figure with 1.5 million followers on instagram who openly bragged about how she didn't care about school aside from partying. She should be embarrassed and she should have to leave the institution she did nothing to earn a spot in. If she cares in anyway about getting an education, there would be other avenues available to her. I suspect instead she'll get a reality show on the E network where she gets to share her experience of this fall from grace.
shareThis is sanctimonious bullshit.
People who consider themselves to be unimpeachable moral arbiters, now seem to believe it is a badge of honour to criticise and shame others who don't live by their standards, and if sanctimony and self-righteousness are admirable qualities.
We all need to start giving one another a break, focus on improving ourselves instead of picking on others, and take a more generous-spirited approach to life.

Where did I say that Olivia Jade deserves to stay in college?
My argument is simply that she shouldn't be subject to online cruelty and mockery. Nor should you and nor should I.
Olivia Jade's parents made a serious, but entirely resolvable and non-fatal, mistake and now she's a laughing stock. Yes, she's an extremely privileged, even spoiled, young woman, and she does not deserve to occupy an unearned, and apparently unwanted, college space, but that doesn't warrant smug, high-minded attacks from people who are no more perfect than she is, and, to be fair, are more responsible than Olivia Jade is for their own mistakes (seeing as it is her parents, and not Olivia Jade, who cheated the system).
Where did I say that Olivia Jade deserves to stay in college?
Not always and not in this case.
Your posts here are embarrassing.
Because of your posts, we are bullying you.
See the difference?
If I've embarrassed myself, as you claim, that's my own business.
If you're bullying me, as you also claim, that's something you need to reassess, because bullying is NEVER acceptable.
It's kind of hard to feel sorry for Olivia Jade because you don't have to be much of a genius to assume that she obviously knew what was going on. She at the very least, knew that she didn’t have the work ethic or smarts to be at USC on her own merits. SHE LITERALLY ADMITTED in her own YouTube video she does NOT want to go to school, she hates school and would only want to go to university parties. The bottom-line is that she took the place of a hard-working, underprivileged kid that earned that spot and she knew it and didn't give it a second thought. She could've dropped out and distanced herself from this mess but she didn't.
shareI disagree. I can see her not understanding how she was accepted to the college on, in your words, her own merits. Yes, she could have felt like an idiot who wasn't worthy of getting in. But perhaps her mother kept it from her knowing for that very reason. She wanted her daughter to attend college and she knew she was too stupid to get in so she paid the school off. Her daughter easily could have been shocked that she was accepted. I don't consider myself a scholar of any kind, but even I'm surprised I was accepted into two colleges.
shareDid she even take her own SAT's? That alone would be an obvious indicator that she was in on it.
shareAlso, she got in on a sports scholarship. She knew she wasn't athletic or on a sports team prior to college.
shareFrom what I heard, some professors were helping out the students on the SAT's. Can you confirm that she knew she got in from the scholarship? From what I've heard, she just knew she got accepted and had no idea about the scholarship. It seemed more like a front from the college so no one would question how she got in.
shareShe got into USC on a sports scholarship, despite the fact she had zero experience lol. Wasn't she curious why she never had to participate in Crew?
shareShe wasn't on scholarship. She was admitted as someone who would be a walk on with the crew team, but a scholar athlete. But of course since she never rowed before and definitely never went to practice, she would just would never make it on to the regular team, or earn a scholarship, but her name would probably always be listed on the walk ons list.
She may not have known the full extent of what her parents were doing, but she had to find it odd that her parents made her take pictures at rowing training center, especially when it was making it look like she was doing a sport she had never done before. And I'm sure she was always getting emails and messages about the crew team. Either she knew what was going on, or she is just completely in her own little world.
Yeah, most people admitted on as an athlete in a sport they have never participated in have no clue that anything strange is happening. She was in on it, and if dear old mom and dad don't plead guilty you'll see her doing a perp walk as the prosecutor goes after her as well. The fact is the prosecutor has enough to nail most of the kids involved and is only holding off as they are leverage to force the parents to plead guilty. I'll guarantee that if a parent doesn't accept a plea bargain that their kids will quickly get arrested, that's the way the prosecutors work in a case like this.
shareI think the evidence was in the emails. It's possible that in the email, Lori Loughlin told the administrators not to bring it up to her daughters. The face that she had to pay for her daughters to get in shows me that they were too stupid to realize what was going on.
shareHard to make that claim when those daughters were posing on rowing machines that had never been on before simply to create faked photo of them doing training for crew. Those photographs pretty much guarantee that they are were in on it from the start. Felicity's kid is the only one of the three that might be able to claim ignorance since it is unclear if they saw the paid test proctor change the answers or if it was done to their SAT after they had turned it in.... but even that begs the question of how someone would ever think they magically got a 400 point jump in their scores from a previous test.
shareI wasn't aware the photos actually existed. I thought they had yet to happen.
shareNo they were mentioned in the original indictment, so while they haven't been posted online they are evidence that will likely come out at the trial and at that point it will not be long until they are on the internet.
shareI hope they do go on the internet. It's going to be hilarious seeing a fake smile on her face.
shareI agree, TMC.
This says a lot about Lori though. She put her daughter in a risky position. She probably thought it would never be found out and assured her daughter it would be fine.
This.
She’s not a victim.
She’s a participant in a scam who got caught.
They didn't belong there in the first place since they cheated, lied and bribed their way into the school. Now, they'll both have plenty of time to party which is what they really wanted to do while two deserving students are admitted. Win win for all!
shareIt says they were afraid of being bullied not that they actually were. I don't think they even stepped foot on campus after the yacht thing. They might have been advised to withdraw quickly to avoid getting expelled so it doesn't look bad on their record. The school would've eventually said their admission was void because they got in fraudulently and weren't athletes. They most likely didn't want to deal with the image problem or their names being linked to explusion on Google search results.
shareWhat yacht thing?
shareWhen the scandal broke, Lori's daughter was found on a yacht that belonged to the USC Board of Trustees chairman. It was pretty funny. I think she went straight home after that.

Awwww poor cewebritwies kids have to compete tit for tat with us "normies" to get into school... GOOD.
shareSo how many people constitute the incoming class? Who are the two people who get in instead? Do they deserve it? There is a whole spectrum of people who have advantages large and small, and I hope it's not a news flash that rich people have perks the rest of us don't. They don't have to fly commercial, they don't have to go through TSA, etc. Did Lori Loughlin have to work hard to get where she got? I don't know, but if she wanted her kids to succeed in some dumb fashion, I won't blame her. My parents sent me to college despite my high school performance, god bless 'em. They didn't know much about college, but they figured it was a good idea for me. Thanks to my caring parents.
shareActually I give them a little credit for doing the right thing here. Just quietly leave school. Don't make a big scene about it, or call for a press conference or do an interview. Everyone knew now that she didn't belong there, and she didn't want to be there anyways. The worst thing they could have done would have been if she insisted that she stay in school and prove everyone wrong and that she belonged there on her own merits. And they avoid even more public shame when the school kicked her out.
shareSounds like they got what they deserved
shareThey didn’t want to be there anyway. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
Sanctimony is never a good look. I don't understand why some people think it is.
shareNeither is a holier-than-thou moralizing pseudo minister.
Not being sanctimonious. Just don’t care that rich entitled brats are leaving the party. They’ll land on their entitled feet. I don’t wish them ill will. Just don’t feel sorry for them.
