Lori Loughlin's daughters reportedly withdrawing from USC: Details

Lori Loughlin's daughters, Isabella Rose and Olivia Jade, are withdrawing from the University of Southern California, TMZ reports.

The outlet cites "sources connected to both daughters" who say that they "have made the decision to withdraw" from USC before the school has a chance to expel them. The sources claim that both Loughlin and her husband, Massimo Giannulli, support their daughters' alleged decision.

The family reportedly agreed upon the plan of action to avoid Isabella Rose, 20, and Olivia Jade, 19, getting "viciously bullied" if they returned to the university.

Their alleged withdrawal comes two days after their parents were indicted in a massive college admissions bribery scheme in which actresses, CEOs and other financially well-off parents paid fixer William Fixer various amounts of money to get their children into elite schools.

Loughlin and Giannulli allegedly paid $500,000 to have each of their daughters get into USC by being designated as recruits for the USC crew team by having Singer and his team create false athletic profiles of the girls, despite the fact that neither of them participated in rowing. The couple allegedly had their daughters pose on rowing machines to bolster their profiles.

Though the decision was difficult for Isabella Rose and Olivia Jade to allegedly forgo their college educations, they "never really wanted to go to USC," TMZ reports. In videos that she later apologized for, Olivia Jade indicated that she only really wanted to go to school to take part in partying and tailgates.

The outlet's sources said that the 19-year-old YouTube star, who was dropped by Sephora earlier on Thursday, "is a mess, despondent and feeling like it's the end of the world." She and her older sister plan to "lay low" for the time being.
