Monica Lewinsky compared her and Olivia Jade's situations in support of the YouTuber, saying that no one should be judged for mistakes they made in their early 20s and that she was deserving of a second chance.

Lewinsky's tweet came after Olivia sat down with Jada Pinket Smith on the "Red Table Talks" to discuss the college admissions scandal and her involvement in it. Lewinsky credited the host for creating an authentic circle.

Olivia Jade's parents were recently convicted of paying Rick singer $500 000 dollars to get her and her sister, Isabella admitted into the University of Southern California.

Lewinsky tweet received mixed reviews from fans, one user tweeted that Lewinsky's perspective of the situation had changed her own, continuing to say that if people expect second chances they must allow second chances to others,

“That actually made me think twice about my harsh judgment of her and her family. You’re right; if we’d like to be afforded second chances we have to allow for others to have them as well.”

Of course, there will always be negative criticism to balance the positive. A few tweeter users voiced their anger that Olivia was receiving so much support from the internet in general.
