Olivia Jade returns to YouTube after college admissions scandal

Olivia Jade is back on YouTube.

However, if you're hoping to hear her thoughts on her mom Lori Louglin's involvement in "Operation Varsity Blues," the major college cheating scandal that was uncovered earlier this year, you're out of luck.

On Sunday, the 20-year-old posted "hi again," the first video uploaded to her channel since March. She took a nine-month YouTube hiatus after news broke that her parents allegedly paid $500,000 for her and her sister, Isabella, to be recruited to the crew team at the University of Southern California. (It's reported that neither of the girls had rowed before.)

Now, in a two-minute-long video, Loughlin's daughter is testing the waters and gauging interest on her potential return to YouTube.

"Obviously I've been gone for a really long time, and as much as I wish I could talk about all of this... I'm legally not allowed to speak on anything going on right now," she explained. Olivia expressed how much she misses posting to the video platform and said, "I want to move on with my life."

In November, Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, pleaded not guilty to new bribery charges, and per CNN, they now face maximum prison sentences of 45 years each. Loughlin is expected to appear in court again on Jan. 17, 2020.

As for her daughter, Olivia still has 1.9 million subscribers on YouTube, but I guess only time (and more videos) will show if her fans have truly chosen to stick by her.
