a spoiled brat (whom THEY raised)

the admission office knew exactly what it was dealing with when they admitted her and thousands like her...they're only sorry they got caught...and...when the spotlight it off they will go back to business as usual

Hopefully they aren't forgotten in meting out punishment on a high profile actress's daughter.

not fair at all.

Girl is partying on a yacht all weekend with a member of USC's board of trustees because she's BFFs with the dude's daughter and she STILL needs all these strings pulled? She must literally be too dumb to breathe...

She's not rich because her mom was an extra on Full House.

Looks like the good life may be a thing of past.

photos were really mean yet a few people were seriously crying for the poor, innocent little flower. She couldn't delete them fast enough. Every photo was featuring a new outfit or make up tutorial, not a book was in sight. Now people are telling Sephora to stop using her to promote their products or their sales will drop.

Link?

. . .seen nothing on Twitter. . .yet.

Sephora. The public backlash had an impact after all.

Her college is also going to look at each individual student's situation and decide if they can stay or get expelled.

She will have to be among us riff raff who had to put ourselves through college.

I doubt she is as ashamed as she should be

I had to work to finish college, and how hard my kids had to work.

It makes me sick that these people just buy their way in.

See, this is the fruit of capitalist corruption. The whole 'greed is good' thing.

WHERE is our honor? Does anyone have any anymore? Or has it gone by the wayside with the party of Trump?

University of Spoiled Children

run for President. The out of control student body kept interupting his speech and he was unable to finish.

University of Spoiled Children for sure.

I was well aware of it because I roomed with one of them two years earlier when he was a sophomore. That guy would sleep through all of his morning classes but he was rabid while supporting Deukmejian over Bradley. Long hours every night. He would drop into the room only briefly and then depart again.

That was the first indication I had regarding political activists and the extremes they would take. Two years later when I heard about the Mondale situation a friend of mine who was still in school said that our old roommate Alan had organized the thing and was bragging about how effective it had been.

Anyway, USC is a great school. Incredible camaraderie and opportunities. My journalism professors were big shots in the industry itself, often relaying anecdotes of what decisions they made that day while putting out the various sections. Classes were never boring plus I was writing sports for the school paper and interviewing legends like Ronnie Lott and Marcus Allen along the way. I don't mind the knocks on USC in this thread because they are typical for the types who frantically react to day to day news instead of calmly evaluating the big picture. It reminds me of the ridicule of Florida as a lost cause in political terms, even though any competent evaluation of Florida holds it as a state that defaults 1-2 points red and is exponentially more available than some state like Texas, for example.

On edit: I should emphasize that I did not pick out Alan as roommate. I didn't know the guy. He was a mid year replacement at Troy Hall after our prior roommate moved out. We had 4 guys initially, two on the water polo team, myself as the sportswriter, and then the Asian bookworm who didn't like to do anything else except ride his girlfriend every night. Once the Asian guy figured out he didn't fit it he moved elsewhere and Alan eventually replaced him.

Mailbox from inside the Student Union? Supposedly a prank

Big blue, outgoing mailbox. The kind you see at many street corners. "Authorities" at the time claimed every piece of mail was recovered. Mmmmmkay! That's why they only got a slap on the wrist for their federal crime.

Stanford. They're on the list too.

wealthy parents can use their $$$$ and influence to get their kids in. Olivia Jade is just the kind of snotty offspring of privileged parents one would expect to see there. The admission staff members aren't stupid. They know what they're doing when they look the other way and admit the unqualified spawn of the uber rich.

The application was hilarious

Did your parent attend SC?

Grandparents?

Aunts/Uncles?

Seemed like the whole process was to make sure to pass legacy students.

Took the hardest fucking class to start off, against the recommendation from the councilor. Got an A without too much effort. Decided I wanted nothing to do with that school, EVER!

Do I regret not getting a MBA, yes. Do I regret not getting in from SC, no way!

I went to community college. I didn't realize they were so into legacy, maybe I could've gotten in that way. I don't regret that I didn't go there, with snots like that the school wouldn't have been the place for me. I felt at home in the community college and got a good education there IMO.

She is a product of her piece of shit father (stepfather?) and her piece of shit mother.

As for SC, I am glad they are in the spotlight. Even Fox New had the chyron University of Spoiled Children. Ironic because the majority of SC alum are Fox loving self absorbed assholes.

Will have to do some research, but her father may have worked his way up through the state school system as opposed to Mossimo who is an ignorant piece of shit.

Have I said that her parents are pieces of shit?

LL only had kids with him.

Her first husband went to Arizona State University. Became successful in spite of a state school that her asshole father disparaged. Her asshole father never completed his degree.

WHY her father selected that school to ridicule. Jealousy much?

She was a highly paid Instagram influencer. By faking her way to college she's destroyed her brand. Perhaps beyond repair (although America loves a come back story). I have no idea why, although my guess is, so she could make Olivia in college type posts. Reality entertainment is all about the moving story lines and creating plot lines, I assume that's why she was in school. Most reality stars don't commit a felony, though, for the sake of entertainment plot lines. Most...

“Game days. Partying. I don’t really care about school.”

What a spoiled snot-nosed brat! Well, princess, if you don’t really care about school, then GET THE FUCK OUT!!! That prized space you’re occupying that you don’t even begin to deserve rightfully belongs to some other kid who takes that level of education seriously, DAMMIT!

GET THE FUCK OUT!!!! So SOMEBODY MORE DESERVING can enroll in that school and take that slot, DAMMIT!

DAMN IT! When I think of how I damn near broke my fucking neck studying to make grades in hopes of getting into a good school - to try to make something of myself. The “game days and partying” I DIDN’T do or go to because I was too busy trying to keep up my grade point average. Too busy studying, reading, writing, working my ass off to keep getting those A’s.

Night after night of all-nighters. Studying and studying and studying some more. All the papers and essays and reports I agonized over. All the notes I made and study guides I put together during exam weeks. Man, I must have filled a hundred spiral notebooks with notes preparing for tests. Color-coding topics and subtopics with a slew of colored markers so I could find any fact at a glance. Good Grief I worked! Nothing was just handed to me on some fancy designer plate. I worked my tail off!

I’m so angry I feel like I could actually catch fire! That spoiled little shit should go wait tables in some cheap dive for a couple of years and try to earn some money to help pay her own way at some institution that may not have a marquee name or glittering rosters of billionaires stuffing their endowment accounts but could still provide her with a respectable higher education. Maybe she’d learn to appreciate the value of an education for which many kids would give everything they owned.

I hope she’s shamed off that campus and fucking EXPELLED. MAN does she ever need to do some learning!

Sorry for the rant. But MAN this one hit me HARD!

That spoiled brat didn't care on bit about school, didn't care about learning a thing, only wanted to party, probably drunken weekends screwing around. Infuriating to think of someone who had good grades they actually earned who wanted to learn, have their spot taken by that spoiled rich piece of trash!

My husband and I have this saying - “...but he/she photographs well.” That’s usually in reference to the nauseating trend mainly in television news and infotainment - where brains or quick wit don’t seem nearly as important as a pretty face. You can be a card-carrying idiot or semi-literate, but MAN-oh-MAN if you look good on camera, You. Are. SET.

In this case, with our little princess here, and others like her, part of the process involved online researchers carefully sifting photos of athletes, and finding just the right photo into which to photoshop the rich kid’s face, correct the color and shading, and then Voila! You have Her Spoiled Highness sitting in the rowboat (as the crew athlete she really isn’t), or posing in the “sport” which the applicant-poseur claims as a specialty.

But hey - isn’t this the new republi-CON way? Cheat to win?

Oh, excuse me - she’s an “influencer” - who “vlogs” on Instagram with more than a million followers about makeup and clothes.

https://www.thecut.com/2019/03/lori-loughlin-daughter-olivia-jade-college-vlogger.html

So let’s give her a medal then, ‘eh? I was pleased to see that one of her “sponsors” has dropped her. I guess if you’re young, cute, slim, rich, and connected, you can busy yourself building your “brand.”

https://www.thecut.com/2019/03/olivia-jade-could-lose-sponcon-deals-amid-college-scandal.html?_gl=1*1bj2lvn*_ga*YW1wLUF2NHVPSDUwZExSS295MVlRWlY0VXRsckl1b0ZlSmVSRUJ5U1J2Tzhud21ma0lfY1pfZENBMDJjLW9GdnVhRzk.

Btw I learned all kinds of things reading through this shit. “Spon-con” - or sponsored content - that allowed her to link up with HP (which has terminated its relationship with her), Sephora, TRESemme hair care products, Marc Jacobs Beauty, Amazon, Dolce & Gabbana and more (?!?!?!!).

Laughlin, the tRump-loving Christian that she professed to be on The 700 Club, feels any remorse for what she's done 🤔

She'll be the victim in one weeks time. They're always the victim in the end.

This is truly sickening.

Big-ass developer in the chi-chi parts of L.A., who’s to blame for the “McMansions” and high rises and skyrocketing real estate prices. He hosted dick cheney for dinner and other visits frequently during the bush/cheney era, causing miserable traffic tie-ups all over the place - because of course everything had to grind to a halt so dickie’s entourage could motorcade swiftly through town in style and comfort.

BIG-ASS donor to the CONS.

On edit - btw, Little Miss Princess was on Rick Caruso’s yacht in the Bahamas, spending spring break with his daughter Gianna, who’s also enrolled at USC, when this story broke. Poor little thing had to cut her vacay short to return to LA.

they must've been brutal, and rightly so. She tried to apologize for her "I don't really care about school" remark, but it was really insincere, because, of course, it was.

is absolutely brilliant, she wanted to attend USC so she worked her highly motivated little butt off to not only get in, but to get a huge scholarship so that her parents could afford it. They flew out to California from Kentucky several times for her to interview at the university (plane tickets were a bite for this normal family).

She is worth 10 of these rich kids academically, I am sure.

Shouldn't USC be *first* going after their own employees who were parties to this scam?

Hey look, it all comes down to this:

Do we teach our kids that cheating is okay? And is something they should go ahead and jump into for momentary gain?

Or do we teach our kids that cheating is NOT okay, and NOT something you don’t do, because it’s just simply WRONG??? (Whether you profit from it or not?)

Good Grief this is INFURIATING!!!!!

but the truth of the matter is the only way this scandal even happens is if several people in admissions and athletics let it be known to certain people that they're "open for business"

Of course the whole "college admission/getting into the *right* school" -thing has been a con job for decades...

Some people can multitask.

Here they're faking whole student athlete positions! I get it, most of these sports weren't high profile, but NCAA is usually all over school for less.

They didn’t want to go back. Afraid of some pretty severe bullying. Said they wanted to “lay low” for awhile.

Gotta say: I give them credit for doing the right thing. This was the right thing to do. Step aside so two more deserving students can take those places. Don’t know if they did so voluntarily or not. But it’s good that they left. That was the right thing to do.

Lots of learning ahead. For everybody.

Right now, he's selling real estate in Savannah, Georgia.

He's incredibly successful and happy, but IMHO going to USC was a waste of money.

I, on the other hand, attended The USC (the University of South Carolina) Law School before tuition went sky high, and graduated without any debt. In fact, I had enough extra money to get a commercial pilot's license.

Guess which one turned out to be more satisfying. A hint: when you finish a flight, the airplane doesn't climb into your mind and keep you awake all night trying to figure out what to do next to keep your crazy client out of trouble. The airplane stays parked on the ramp.

Don't need to know what she thinks
