Olivia Jade to break silence on college admissions scandal on ‘Red Table Talk’

Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli’s daughter Olivia Jade is finally discussing her experience being caught in the middle of the college admissions scandal.

Jade, 21, sat down with Jada Pinkett Smith and Willow Smith for Tuesday’s episode of “Red Table Talk.”

She explained her decision to participate in the show in a promo clip on Instagram, saying, “I’ve watched the show and I think you guys are all amazing and it feels really safe. But it also feels honest and feels like we’re really going to lay it all out here and it’s going to be an open conversation.”

Jade has remained tight-lipped since her parents were both sentenced to time in prison for their role in the scandal that swept the nation by storm.

Loughlin, 56, is currently serving a two-month prison sentence at California’s Dublin FCI and is expected to be out of the slammer in time for Christmas.

Meanwhile, 57-year-old Giannulli, who prepped for jail by shaving his head, reported to FCI Lompoc in November for his five-month sentence.

The couple paid $500,000 to William “Rick” Singer to secure Jade and her sister, Isabella Rose Giannulli’s admission to the University of Southern California. The girls were accepted as rowing recruits despite never participating in the sport.

Actress Felicity Huffman was also caught up in the scandal and served 11 days of a two-week jail sentence in 2019. It was recently revealed that the “Desperate Housewives” alum has landed her first acting role since her release.
