Olivia Jade Has Returned To YouTube!

She’s back, y’all…

In a video published on Sunday and titled “hi again,” embattled former USC student and alleged college admissions scandal participant Olivia Jade is making her comeback on YouTube. She first popped up just hours ago, showing off a brand new two-minute video in which she (very briefly) addresses scandal itself, while avoiding any discussion about the allegations against her mother and father, Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli.

In the two-minute long video, the former college student opens things up by talking directly to the camera from what appears to be her bedroom, saying (below):

“Hi everybody, it’s Olivia Jade, welcome back to my YouTube channel. Obviously, I’ve been gone for a really long time, and as much as I wish I could talk about all of this, it’s really hard for me to say all of this, because I know that it’s something that needs to be addressed, unfortunately, which is also why I didn’t know exactly when I should come back to YouTube, but the reason for that is I’m just not legally allowed to speak on anything going on right now.”

Interesting. And to be expected!

She continues on, adding more about how much she’s missed the YouTube community in her months-long absence:

“A part of me is like, ‘should I come back to YouTube right now, because it’s been so long, and I actually really really miss it.’ I genuinely miss filming, I feel like a huge part of me is just not the same, because this is something that I’m really passionate about, and this is something I really like to do. But I also didn’t know, I debated for like seven or eight months, like, if I can’t talk about it, is there a point in coming back and not be able to say anything. I want to come back because I want to come back. There’s no point in me just talking for ten minutes to the camera about how I wish I could say something when I really can’t, so I’m gonna leave it at that. Thank you so much for your patience or if you’ve stuck around for nine months just waiting. I really appreciate it.”

And she finally wraps things up, summing up her return with a brief conclusion here:

“This is the best I can do and I want to move on with my life, not in a selfish way. It’s so hard because I’m not trying to make this about me or like, how I’ve been because that’s not the point of this. Though I’m terrified to make this video and to come back, I know that I also want to start taking smaller steps in the right direction for people that have been DMing and asking me. The moral of the story is, I’ve missed you guys so much and I’m just really excited to start filming again and to start uploading and I really hope you enjoy the vlog. Thanks.”

Well then!

Olivia Jade — who surprisingly also left the comments on below the video for fans and viewers to post their reactions — also included a final end card which seemed to suggest more videos were likely to be coming soon:
