Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, are accused of paying William "Rick" Singer $250,000 for each daughter to be falsely portrayed as athletic recruits to get them into the university.
Singer had pleaded guilty to orchestrating the nationwide scheme, with 50 people indicted in total, including parents and athletic coaches.
Neither the girls, nor their parents, have spoken publicly since Loughlin and Giannulli were charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud on March 12. None of the children of parents who were involved in the scheme have been charged, including those authorities who had knowledge of what was happening, and it wasn't clear to what extent Olivia Jade and Bella were aware of what happened.
Bella "was far more invested in college and would loved to have completed USC," the source said, while Olivia Jade is "so embarrassed she doesn't even want to go out."
The popular vlogger is "really angry with her parents because she told them she did not want to go to college and she was pushed," the source added.
"She has been passionate about her career and wanted to work and was doing well but that wasn't enough," the source continues. "Her parents said she would have to juggle college and her career. Now she's devastated because everything she built implode before her eyes."
“In [Lori’s] mind, the end result made everything she had to do worth it,” the unnamed source said. “And she really didn’t even see it as being a huge deal.”
Loughlin and Giannulli were arrested earlier in March and released on bond, with court appearances scheduled later in March in a federal courtroom in Boston. They each face up to five years in prison if convicted.
