REVEALED: The fake resume Lori Loughlin's daughter Olivia Jade used to get into USC which falsely claims she was a gold medal winning crew rower at her high school

  • Federal prosecutors release evidence against Full House actor and her husband 
  • Among the evidence is a fake resume said to have been used by Olivia Jade, 20  
  • Resume lists Olivia Jade as a coxswain, the lead position on a crew rowing team 
  • It also claims Olivia Jade took part in prestigious races like Head of the Charles
  • Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli have pleaded not guilty to federal charges
  • They allegedly paid $500,000 in bribes to get kids into U of Southern California
  • The couple claims payments were good-faith donations to university entities 

Federal prosecutors who allege Lori Loughlin and her husband paid $500,000 to get their two children admitted to the University of Southern California as crew recruits have released a fake resume used by daughter Olivia Jade Giannulli.

Loughlin, the 55-year-old actor from the hit 90s sitcom Full House, and her fashion designer spouse, Mossimo Giannulli, 56, are two of dozens of wealthy parents who were indicted last year in the ‘Varsity Blues’ college admissions scandal.

Prosecutors on Monday revealed evidence that they say bolsters their case, including a falsified resume listing Olivia Jade’s supposed athletic achievements even though she never did organized sports in high school.

The fake resume was revealed in response to a legal motion by the Giannullis' lawyers seeking telephone, text messages and interview transcripts between investigators and Rick Singer, the alleged mastermind of the college admissions scam. 

While the resume is redacted to conceal the name of the child, it lists the high school graduation year as 2018, the year that Olivia Jade completed her studies at Marymount High School in the trendy Bel-Air section of Los Angeles.

Among the accomplishments listed on the resume include gold, silver, and bronze medals in various rowing competitions as well as participation in prestigious events like the Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston and the Head of the American in Lake Natoma

Olivia Jade, 20, is the younger sister of 21-year-old Isabella Rose Giannulli.

Loughlin and her husband allegedly arranged payments to try to get both of their daughters into USC.

In the fake resume, Olivia Jade claims to have been a coxswain.

In rowing crew, a coxswain is the team member who sits in the stern facing the bow of the boat.

The coxswain is responsible for steering the boat and instructing the other rowers on how much power to use as well as dictating the pace of the rowing.

The resume also lists several ‘skill sets’ including ‘awareness, organization, direction, and steering.’

The fake resume claims that Olivia Jade was a coxswain, or lead rower, on her high school crew team and that she competed in prestigious races, like the annual Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston (seen above on the Cambridge side of the Charles River near Boston last October)

It also lists several rowing competitions that Olivia Jade is purported to have participated in as a coxswain, including the prestigious Head of the Charles in Boston and the Head of the American in Lake Natoma.

The Head of the Charles Regatta’s website for the years mentioned in the fake resume do not include any results for a 'Giannulli.' 

The resume claims that Olivia Jade earned two gold medals, two silvers, and two bronzes as a coxswain for her high school team. 

The document claims that Olivia Jade’s team finished in 11th place in the 2016 Head of the Charles and in 14th place the next year.

It also claims Olivia Jade’s crew won the bronze and silver medals at the USRowing Southwest Regional Junior Championships as well as gold and silver medal finishes at the San Diego Crew Classic.

Federal prosecutors in Boston say Loughlin conspired to bribe USC employees to secure the admission of her two daughters.

She and her husband were previously charged with conspiring to commit honest services fraud and money laundering.

They also face a charge of conspiring to commit federal programs bribery.

If convicted, they each face up to 45 years in prison. 

Loughlin and her husband allegedly had their girls pose on rowing machines for their recruitment profiles.

Olivia Jade's profile claimed she was a coxswain for the LA Marina Club team, which does not appear to exist.

The Giannullis, who have pleaded not guilty, recently filed new court documents alleging that federal prosecutors concealed evidence that shows that they believed they were making a legitimate donation to the college.

However, on Friday, retaliatory documents filed by the prosecution include a sarcastic statement that ridicules both Loughlin and Giannuli. 

It asserts that the 'exculpatory evidence' to which the couple are referring to does not exist. 

They accuse Loughlin and Giannuli of referring to a recent witness interview with college mastermind Rick Singer, which was conducted after their arrest. 

The prosecution document states: 'The government has broad powers, but they do not include mental telepathy or time travel'.

According to TMZ, the document sarcastically adds:  'The government cannot disclose witness statements before the witnesses make them'.

The prosecutors go on to assert that 'the absence of such [legitimate exculpatory] evidence is a result of Loughlin and Giannnulli's criminal conduct, not any government disclosure violations'. 

The documents are said to state that the prosecution didn't provide exculpatory evidence showing that their payment was not a bribe given to then-USC Senior Associate Athletic Director Donna Heinel.

The couple claim it took prosecutors months to hand over the evidence, as well as Singer's testimony which indicate that Loughlin and Giannulli were unaware that any bribes had been offered to the school.  

'Rick Singer has advised the government, in sum and in substance, that ... the families that do the side door ...typically do not know that Heinel is involved until the time of the first payment,' the document stated, according to TMZ.   

The couple are arguing prosecutors should have revealed this news back in May following his testimony.  

In not revealing Singer's statements, the couple claimed in the legal document that the government had used the supposed lack of evidence as to 'pressure defendants into pleading guilty.' 

The document stated that the couple thought that the $50,000 payment they made 'went directly to USC's program' and that prosecutors 'clearly acknowledges that Giannulli and Loughlin's alleged "bribe payments" did not go to any USC official personally, but rather went to USC itself.' 

The additional $200,000 they gave Singer, the couple apparently believed had been given to Singer's charity, with some of the funds 'going to a USC program.'

It's unclear which USC program Loughlin and husband believed their money was benefiting, however. 

The couple's court document also states that prosecutors are in possession of internet USC emails that offered to 'flag' on of the couple's daughter's applications and offered up a special tour of the campus for the purpose of discussing 'the impact of [Giannulli's] philanthropy.'

The couple's contention that they believed their money was being donated to the school - and not an individual at the school as a bribe - is believed to be a key point. 

It is not illegal to donate money to the university.  

The document also stated that USC 'has an institutional practice of tightly intertwining admissions and fundraising' and noted that the school's athletic director at the time, Pat Hayden, reportedly said that the couple was 'good for a million plus' in donations in connection with Bella and Olivia Jade's admissions. 

Loughlin and Giannulli's criminal trial for their part in the college admissions scandal has now been set for October. 

They have pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to commit fraud, money laundering and bribery.

The couple have put their 12,000 square-foot, Bel Air, California, home on the market for $28million. It was used as collateral for their $2million bail after the college admissions scandal broke.
