Earlier this month, Loughlin, 54, and Giannulli, 55, were among dozens charged in an alleged college admissions cheating scam involving elite colleges and universities including Yale, Georgetown, the University of Southern California and Stanford.
TheFuller Housestar and the Mossimo clothing company founder allegedly gave $500,000 to say Olivia Jade was part of the USC rowing team when that was not true, the indictment states.
Since the scandal broke, Loughlin, Gianulli and Olivia Jade have faced intense backlash, and the 19-year-oldhas no intention of returning to school.
“She is definitely upset with her parents. This wasn’t her idea,” the source says.

“She didn’t care if she got into USC. She just wanted to focus on her business,” the source adds about Olivia Jade, who is a popular YouTube blogger. “She feels that she worked very hard for something that she loves, and she has no idea what will happen with her business in the future.”
Currently, “her life is still very much upside down and it’s difficult for her,” the source says.
