Lori Loughlin‘s youngest daughter, Olivia Jade (19), allegedly did not fill out her own application to USC.
As we reported, the Fuller House star and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, were indicted for allegedly paying bribes totaling $500,000 to have both of their children — including 20-year-old Isabella Rose — recruited for the college’s crew team, despite not playing the sport.

According to a 204-page affidavit unsealed in federal court in Boston last Tuesday, authorities detail an alleged email that the 54-year-old actress sent to William Rick Singer, the alleged leader of the college admissions scheme who plead guilty to four felony counts of conspiracy to commit money laundering, conspiracy to defraud the United States, and obstruction of justice.
The affidavit, obtained by People, stated:
“On or about December 12, 2017, Laughlin e-mailed [Singer], copying Gianulli and their younger daughter, to request guidance on how to complete the formal USC application in the wake of her daughter’s provisional acceptance as a recruited athlete.”
It continued:
“Loughlin wrote, ‘[Our younger daughter] has not submitted all her colleges [sic] apps and is confused on how to do so. I want to make sure she gets those in. Can you tell us how to proceed?'”
Allegedly, someone else filled out Olivia’s application. The document read:
“[Singer] responded by directing an employee to submit the applications on behalf of the Giannulli’s younger daughter.”
When Olivia was admitted to the university in November 2017, Laughlin allegedly wrote to Singer:
“This is wonderful news.”
When he allegedly replied, “Please continue to keep hush hush till March,” Loughlin allegedly responded:
“Yes, of course.”
As we wrote on Thursday, Olivia and Isabella are reportedly not returning to USC in fear that they would be “viciously bullied” if they went back.
Apparently, Olivia “is a mess, despondent, and feeling like it’s the end of the world.”
For now, the YouTube star and her older sister will “lay low,” and will not enroll in another school anytime soon.
In addition to getting axed by Hallmark, Lori has been reportedly fired by Netflix, and will not return for the final season of the Full House sequel.
A well-placed production source told TMZ:
“Fuller House is not currently in production. Lori is a guest star and was during the previous 4 seasons and there are currently no plans for her to return to the 5th season.”
Yikes all around!
