Olivia Jade Giannulli hits back at Gossip Girl joke about her

Olivia Jade Giannulli – whose famous parents went to jail for the college admissions scandal – has responded to a crack about her in the new Gossip Girl reboot.

Lori Loughlin’s social-media-famous daughter has fired back at the makers of the new HBO Gossip Girl reboot for claiming she capitalised on her parents’ college-admissions scandal.

Olivia Jade Giannulli, 21, was skewered on the teen show, which premiered locally on Binge on Thursday, when one character quipped that the offspring raked in followers because her mum and dad were tossed in jail over the infamous bribery scheme.

In the TV scene, a group of girls chat about “losing” – with one of them saying it’s “bad for business”.

“Everything will be fine so long as you win. Olivia Jade gained followers when her mum went to jail,” another character responds.

Olivia Jade – the daughter of the disgraced former Fuller House star and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli – shared the scene on TikTok on Saturday while rubbing her head with a what-the-hell expression on her face.

“No, I didn’t,” she fired back in reference to the “gained followers” comment.

Last year, Loughlin and hubby Mossimo pleaded guilty in federal court to conspiracy charges after being accused of paying $US500,000 ($A670,000) to get Olivia Jade and her sister, Isabella Rose Giannulli, into the University of Southern California as fake crew team recruits.

Loughlin was sentenced to two months in prison, while Giannulli landed five months behind bars.
