Lori Loughlin's daughter, Olivia Jade, posted her first YouTube Video since her parents' indictment in the college admissions scandal started about nine months ago.

The video posted by Olivia Jade on Sunday was her first video since March 10, and she spoke about her return to YouTube. She, however, didn't say anything about the scandal, as she revealed that she was not allowed to do such, due to legal restrictions.

"Though I'm terrified to make this video and to come back, I know that I also want to start taking smaller steps in the right direction"

Introducing herself at the beginning of the video, Olivia welcomed her viewers back to her channel and noted that she had been gone for a long time.

The 20-year-old further explained that she had spent the last seven to eight months pondering on whether or not to return to YouTube, as knowing that she wouldn't be able to talk about the admissions scandal.

Olivia Jade added this was the best thing she could do and that she wanted to move on with her life. She also said that she didn't want to sound selfish, saying:

"It's so hard because I'm not trying to make this about me or how I've been because that's not the point of this. Though I'm terrified to make this video and to come back, I know that I also want to start taking smaller steps in the right direction."

She then continued, saying that she has missed her viewers so much and was excited to start filming and uploading and that she hoped that they enjoy the vlog.

Olivia Jade's parents, Loughlin, 55, and Mossimo, 56, were charged by authorities on counts of mail fraud, money laundering, and bribery, after they allegedly paid bribes of $500,000 to get their daughters, Olivia and Isabella as designated recruits to the USC crew team.

The couple will be facing up sixty years in jail if they are found guilty and convicted of the charges. When the scandal became public, it led to Olivia losing her sponsorship deal with Sephora, but a source close to her revealed she was eager to bounce back as a social media influencer.
