Olivia Jade Giannulli compared her luxurious kitchen to a prison after her mom, Lori Loughlin, served time over the infamous college admissions scandal.
The influencer gave a look inside her Los Angeles home in a vlog uploaded to her YouTube Channel Tuesday where she discussed her plans to spruce up her home decor.
“Back in the kitchen. Sorry for the mess that’s behind me — the kitchen needs a clean,” she said in the video. “I’m so excited, you guys, I finally ordered wallpaper for the kitchen so it’s not going to feel so sterile.”
“It’s not going to feel like … a prison,” the 24-year-old continued before pausing for a second and staring at the camera, realizing the irony of her comment.
“Save the jokes. I don’t want to hear it. I set you up and I don’t want you to tee off. OK?”
In 2019, Loughlin and husband Mossimo Gianulli were exposed for paying $500,000 to get Olivia and her sister, Isabella Rose, admitted to the University of Southern California under the pretense that they were row recruits.
A year later, the couple had pleaded guilty and Loughlin was sentenced to serve two months in prison, while Mossimo was sentenced to five.
They were also forced to pay a total of $400,000 as part of their sentencing.
At the time, the bribery scandal led Olivia — who has been active on YouTube since 2014 — to go radio silent as her parents appeared in court.
She later broke her silence on Facebook Watch’s “Red Table Talk,” telling host Jada Pinkett Smith that she wasn’t fully aware of the scheme.
“I felt so ashamed and embarrassed … although I didn’t really 100 percent understand what had just happened because there was a lot that, when I was applying, I was not fully aware of what was going on,” she said in December 2020.
“When I got home [from spring break], I just felt so ashamed.”
Olivia furthered she was “too embarrassed” to go back to school and confirmed she had never participated in rowing.
Another high-profile case in the college admission scandal included “Desperate Housewives” star Felicity Huffman.
