Olivia Jade & Bella Giannulli say 'hatred' for mom Lori Loughlin has been 'horrible'

Olivia Jade Giannulli and her sister, Bella Giannulli, are, for the first time together, discussing the college admission scandal that embroiled their family. Although neither exactly called it that, referring to it at one point as the "thingy thing with our family," the siblings talked about how their mental health was impacted by the controversy.

Bella, 23, was a guest on Monday's Conversations With Olivia Jade podcast in which they opened up about how hard it was to see negative media coverage about their mom, Lori Loughlin. But first, they prefaced that they aren't trying to garner sympathy.

Olivia noted they can't talk about certain legal aspects of the case — "I don't feel like messing with the government" — so they touched on their own experience about their world changing in 2019. The YouTube star asked Bella how it felt to go through it when the story was "heavily focused on mom and I."

Actress Felicity Huffman was among the parents convicted for participating in the nationwide bribery scheme. She was one of the first people to plead guilty and only spent two weeks in prison compared to Loughlin's two months.

Olivia said she'll "drag" and "roast myself and I won't forgive myself forever probably," but that it's hard to watch media coverage of her mom calling the press "extremely hypocritical."

It seems the Loughlin-Giannullis' time-out in Hollywood is up. Olivia competed on the current season of Dancing With the Stars while Loughlin has returned to acting for the first time since everything unfolded. She will guest star in GAC Family's When Hope Calls out next month.

I have no sympathy for this family. These women posed for faked photos of themselves so they could get into the university of their choice, then complained about their schooling on social media. Their interviews clearly show they still don't get why what they did was no messed up. Here they are, yet again, playing the victims. ""I think just the hardest part of this entire thing was watching how horrible, or reading or seeing, how horrible the media was to both you and mom." Yes, the media was horrible to Lori Laughlin. That was the problem.

According the Lori's IMDB profile, she will be in a new Christmas film.

God bless you and Lori and her family always!!!

P.S. To me, she served the given prison sentence and in my opinion, that right there should be sufficient enough for everyone else considering the fact that there are worse things out there that a person can be guilty of. Would people rather her be like Bill Cosby?

I do wonder if people were especially angry with Lori because they saw it as some sort of "betrayal" her public image. I think that most people saw her through Rebecca Donaldson, as a good female role model and surrogate mother for Danny's daughters. I mean Becky on the show was basically, the woman that you always aspired to be around. She was beautiful, classy, bold, intelligent, and compassionate, so you kind of see why somebody like a one-time "man-whore" like Jesse would want to settle down with her.

Well, she was certainly able to act like a moral person on camera, but actors and actresses are chameleons: they embrace a role which is not reality.

I don't believe the public is angry because she betrayed her public image; I think they are angry because the members of this family continue to portray themselves as victims after they committed fraud.
