Sources say Olivia, 19, had begged her parents to let her focus on her career as a YouTube vlogger and Instagram influencer, but they pushed her to go to school.

Now, after being dropped by major brands including Sephora and TRESemme, Olivia believes 'they have ruined everything'.

Olivia has been well-known in the world of YouTube and beauty blogging for years. But last week she saw her name in national headlines for all the wrong reasons.

Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli were arrested for allegedly paying a $500,000 bribe to get Olivia and her older sister Isabella, 20, into USC.

'Bella and Olivia are suffering in their own ways from the fallout of their parents' decisions,' a source told Entertainment Tonight this week.

While Bella was 'far more invested in college and would have love to have completed USC', Olivia is devastated over the damage that has been done to her brand.

'[Olivia] is really angry with her parents because she told them she did not want to go to college and she was pushed,' the source added.

'She has been passionate about her career and wanted to work and was doing well, but that wasn't enough. Her parents said she would have to juggle college and her career.'

'Now she's devastated because everything she built imploded before her eyes. She feels they ruined everything.'

The source said that Olivia is so embarrassed by the scandal that she 'doesn't even want to go out'.

'Bella and Olivia have a very tight-knit group of friends who have been there to support them,' they continued. 'They've needed that support because they're being attacked at every turn.'

Since the scandal came to light, a number of Olivia's past YouTube videos have resurfaced.

In one video filmed on her last day of high school, Olivia admitted that she rarely attended classes.

'I'm, like, excited to go prank my, like, do the school prank, but I'm also literally never at school that I think my class doesn't even — and maybe they forget I go there!' the teen said, before claiming she was 'just kidding!'

Olivia also previously came under fire for admitting in her vlogs that she didn't really care about college 'but wanted to experience game days and partying'.

If she had nothing to do with her parents' actions, this is really sad to hear.

How did she not know her grade point average?

[–] BigAl (161) 5 years ago

because she is too hot and too sexy to give two shits about a grade point average. that lame stuff is for the nerds to care about

What did she think the photos on the rowing machine were for?

Idk i think this is good publicity for Olivia. i never knew about her until this scandal so that has to mean something. hopefully her brand isnt ruined or whatever. school is a waste of time and money these days its a shame her parents made her go

Her parents ruined her "influencer" and youtube "career"?
But would she have the ability to create a career in social media without the parents that she has?

Much easier to get ahead as a rich little girl with celebrity (despite Moms low grade status) status..without that she would've actually had to work much harder to work her way up..

She didn't need to go to college ..she has rich connected parents..She was born into the right privileged family and could do whatever she wanted.

You're attacking Olivia Jade, but it's her parents who wanted her to go to college, not her.

Olivia Jade, to her credit, wanted to pursue a career that wouldn't have deprived a poorer and more deserving young person of a position.

Personally, I don't begrudge spoiled little rich kids who simply want to parlay a career out of being spoiled little rich kids, and nor do I, for that matter, begrudge members of the royal family who simply want to be princes and princesses. The people I begrudge are the born-to-the-manor one-percenters, like Richard Branson's daughter for instance, who think they're doing the world any good by becoming doctors, lawyers, engineers, and so on, because ultimately they don't need those careers, but in pursuing them, they're actually depriving the rest of us, who do need those careers, of those spots.

They're the true baddies here IMHO. Not lovely, stupid, silly little rich girl Olivia Jade in her cossetted and pampered fairy-tale world. She, for all her silliness, hasn't wittingly taken anything from people like me.

[–] bohemianroxie (2471) 5 years ago

You're making too much of this.
It's just a fact that blaming her parents for ruining her career is ironic because her parents are the very reason she was able to have that so called career.

[–] cyberbob (3488) 5 years ago

As an influencer she is still taking spots from more talented make-up artists, photographers, fashion designers, other Youtubers, etc.

You have a naive view of the world. I cannot begrudge her for choosing whatever career she wants, she didn't choose to be born super-wealthy and spoiled, although she did choose to parlay that status into a career in the arts/entertainment, where there are TONS of unemployed, yet talented, artists

Either way, the outcome would have been similar. Ultimately, her family will most likely not go broke for this, so I don't pity her one bit. She will be able to live a very comfortable life even if she never holds a single job

The entertainment industry is a tough nut to crack, so less sympathy for those whose job she stole.

[–] chilone (17251) 4 years ago

You're a complete moron. She wants to be a doctor and the world needs doctors. No one in being deprived.

[–] Barbarajayne (4) 5 years ago

This whole deal is nauseating. I hope Lori Loughlin gets her comeuppance, and quickly.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

It annoys me when the parents of spoiled rich kids who simply want to have fun and become nothing more than celebrities, are pushed by their parents to go to college, and thus deprive someone, most likely from a poorer family, who genuinely wants to go, and is serious about academia, of that place.

I don't begrudge Olivia Jade for her lifestyle and her interests. I do begrudge her parents for trying to push her into pursuing a life she wasn't interested in or suited to.

I can't believe "influencer" is now considered a career, along with 'vlogger'. WOW

[–] strntz (10779) 4 years ago

Cripes.. I can't believe I agree with you on anything - yet here we are..

Isn't a career as an "influencer" sort of like making a career out of being a carnival barker?

[–] chilone (17251) 4 years ago

Meanwhile that thing you're agreeing with spends it's life TRYING to be an influencer, meanwhile depriving much more deserving people of oxygen.

[–] strntz (10779) 4 years ago

The way I look at it is that rape was illegal in Hitler's Germany (at least rape of anyone not Jewish or Slav), so there's usually something everyone can agree on, even if it's that we all agree that pizza is fucking awesome!

And no, I was NOT comparing Doggiedaddy to Hitler...

Lol!
