Olivia Jade Giannulli was seen leaving a building in Beverly Hills on Wednesday, May 1 while looking at her phone
Olivia Jade Giannulli has finally emerged after her parents Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli pleaded not guilty for their alleged participation in the college admission scandal.
On Wednesday, the 19-year-old YouTube personality was photographed while exiting an office building in Beverly Hills as she held onto her iPhone and a bottle of water.
She was wearing a brown, oversized hooded sweatshirt and white tennis shoes and had her dark hair pulled back in a low bun.
Accompanying Olivia Jade on her outing was a bodyguard.
Loughlin and Mossimo “agreed to pay bribes totaling $500,000 in exchange for having their two daughters designated as recruits to the USC crew team — despite the fact that they did not participate in crew — thereby facilitating their admission to USC.” (It is unclear whether or not Olivia Jade and her sister Isabella Rose knew about the scandal.)
Loughlin, 54, and Giannulli, 55, face charges of mail fraud and money laundering conspiracy. If convicted, they face up to 20 years in prison for each charge. Attorneys for the couple were in court on Monday, entering formal pleas of not guilty of the charges against them.
A source close to Loughlin’s family told PEOPLE that USC became the Fuller House star’s “obsession,” adding that it “was the school she wanted her girls to attend.”
“Lori was always very impressed when she met a parent who got their child into a prestigious school,” the insider admitted.
Just one day after her mother and father pleaded not guilty in a court filing, Olivia Jade’s sister Isabella “Bella” Giannulli, 20, deleted her Instagram account on April 16.
And while Olivia Jade’s Instagram account, which boasts 1.4 million followers, remains active, she has deactivated comments on the social media site and on her YouTube account.
Since the scandal broke, Olivia Jade has been maintaining a low public profile and is spending time with close friends.
“Olivia is hanging out with longtime friends, but that’s it,” a source previously told PEOPLE. “She doesn’t want to go out in public.”
“Her boyfriend lives in Malibu, so she is spending time there, too,” the source added of Jackson Guthy, a model.
“She is definitely upset with her parents,” the source added. “This wasn’t her idea.”
