Lori Loughlin’s daughter Olivia Jade Giannulli has deleted an Instagram photo that shows her flipping off the media just days after Felicity Huffman was sentenced to jail in the college admissions scandal, according to Insider.
The Deseret News reviewed Olivia Jade’s Instagram page and did not see the photo.
What happened: Olivia Jade deleted the controversial photo within 72 hours of Huffman being sentenced to two weeks in prison for the scandal.
- Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, pleaded not guilty after they were accused of paying $500,000 in bribes so that their daughters, Olivia Jade and Isabella Giannulli, would be team crew recruits for the University of Southern California.
Flashback: “As dozens of stories circulated about how the Giannulli family was reacting to the scandal, Olivia Jade posted a photo on Instagram showing herself giving the camera two middle fingers,” according to Insider.
- As the Deseret News previously reported, Olivia Jade’s photo included a caption that read, “@dailymail @starmagazine @people @perezhilton @everyothermediaoutlet #close #source #says.”
Reasons: Did she delete the photo because of the scandal? An unnamed source told Us Weekly that lawyers had asked Olivia Jade to not post the photo in the first place.
The story: Olivia Jade had disappeared from social media until that point. But she returned with the photo, calling out the media for reports that include unnamed sources talking about Loughlin and the scandal.
- The photo came after Us Weekly reported that Olivia Jade had been kicked out of her sorority, Kappa Kappa Gamma. But the sorority confirmed to People magazine that she was never a member.
