In 2020, Olivia Jade Giannulli made her big return to social media after months of silence with a short YouTube video plainly titled “hi again” that didn’t address much aside from saying that she can’t address anything. The influencer makes a point to avoid the onslaught of hate comments and questions she receives regarding the topic; however, she did address it candidly once. Still, this has people wondering whether Olivia Jade is afraid of being canceled again.

Jada Pinkett Smith’s “Red Table Talk” has now grown infamous for addressing scandals with an exclusive insight. For example, it provided the only exclusive look at Jordyn Woods’ side of the story behind her affair with Tristan Thompson, per Facebook. This is why it came as no surprise when Olivia Jade joined Pinkett Smith in an interview to discuss her role in the college admissions scandal. In the interview, Olivia Jade acknowledged herself being the “poster child for white privilege” and explained how “ashamed” she was, per Facebook.  As for whether she was aware of her parents’ actions or not, everyone has their theories. An insider source shared with Us Weekly that Olivia Jade “fully knew what her parents did to get her into USC, but didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.” On “Red Table Talk,” Olivia Jade vehemently denied this and claimed that she was “not fully aware of what was going on.” However, she did confess that when she found out, she did not see it as a big deal, and rather didn’t understand why people were so upset.

While everyone got roped up in the drama as it unfolded, and as her parents served jail time, not much was said for what Olivia Jade was actually studying at school.
