Olivia Jade Talks 'Being Publicly Shamed': 'We're All Very Quick To Judge'

Olivia Jade Giannulli is speaking out about being publicly shamed and offered some words of wisdom to her fans.

Over the weekend, the daughter of Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli posted a video on TikTok that allowed fans to get some insight into where her head is at these days.

The popular beauty vlogger has been embroiled in controversy since her parents admitted last year to paying $500,000 to get her and her sister into the University of Southern California as crew recruits, despite neither being a rower. Her mother served two months in prison last year while her father is still serving his five-month sentence. Hes slated for release next month .

In her TikTok, Giannulli talked about advice she once got from a very inspirational woman.

We were talking about being in the public and being publicly shamed, and I was like, Well, my situation doesnt even compare. Im not going to even start to compare it to yours, she said. And she looked at me and she said, Olivia, it doesnt matter if Im drowning in 60 feet of water and youre drowning in 30. Were both still drowning.

The 21-year-old continued: I think about that quote every day because I think its so true and its such a bigger message to our world right now. I think were all very quick to judge. I think were all very quick to put people down. And I just want people to remember if your feelings are hurting, if theyre valid to you, theyre valid. And it doesnt matter if somebody is going through worse. Youre allowed to have a hard time in this world. But that doesnt take away from somebody else, and that shouldnt take away from you. Were all human beings.

Since her parents were exposed for their role in the college admissions scandal, the influencer has not shied away from speaking out about how its affected her.

In December, she sat down with co-hosts Jada Pinkett Smith, her daughter Willow Smith and mother Adrienne Banfield-Norris on Red Table Talk and apologized for her involvement in the scandal.

I think that what hasnt been super public is that there is no justifying or excusing what happened. What happened was wrong and I think every single person in my family can be like, That was messed up. That was a big mistake, she told them .

But what I think was so important to me is to learn from the mistake and not to now be shamed and punished and never be given a second chance. Because Im 21, I feel like I deserve a second chance to redeem myself, to show Ive grown, she continued.

Later in the interview, she said shes not trying to victimize myself.

I dont want pity. I dont deserve pity. We messed up, she said. I recognize that I messed up and for so long I wasnt able to talk abut this because of the legalities behind it. I never got to say that Im really sorry that this happened or I really own that this was a big mess up on everybodys part. I think everybody feels that way in my family right now.
