Sofia Richie Defends Olivia Jade’s ‘Red Table Talk’ Appearance: ”We Are All Human”
Sofia Richie is speaking out in support of Olivia Jade Giannulli who is facing a new wave of backlash over her viral “Red Table Talk” interview.
During her sit-down with Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith, and Adrienne Norris, Jade, 21, said that “there is no justifying or excusing what happened because what happened was wrong,” she said off the bat. “I think every single person in my family can say ‘that was messed up, that was a big mistake.’” Her famous parents Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli were found guilty of paying $500,000 to William “Rick” Singer to secure Jade and her sister, Isabella Rose Giannulli’s admission to the University of Southern California. Jade admitted that she didn’t quite understand why what her parents had done was wrong at first but the former influencer who considers herself “like the poster child of white privilege,” says she’s embarrassed that it took a big scandal like this to lead her to realize it.
Jade’s fans including Lionel Richie’s 22-year-old daughter Sofia took to Instagram to share a kind message to Jade. “Yes girl!! Can’t wait for what’s ahead,” Sofia commented on Olivia’s Instagram post featuring a clip from her Tuesday appearance. One fan reportedly called out Sofia, writing, “white privilege supporting white privilege” in a now-deleted comment. However, the model was quick to respond: “We are all human, who make human mistakes. Life is too short to wish negativity on anyone. Sending you love,” Sofia wrote according to Fox News.
As we previously reported, 57-year-old Giannulli, reported to FCI Lompoc in November for his five-month sentence. Loughlin, 56, is currently serving a two-month prison sentence at California’s Dublin FCI and is expected to be out of the slammer in time for Christmas.
