Olivia Jade broke her silence on her parents’ roles in the college admissions scandal on Jada Pinkett Smith’s Facebook Watch show, ‘Red Table Talk,’ and a source explains why.
Olivia “felt very comfortable” as she talked with Jada, Adrienne and Willow, our source adds. Going into the interview, the YouTube star was actually second-guessing herself. “She contemplated whether it was the right thing to do or not up until a day before, but ultimately, she felt the need to do it,” our source explains. “She told only a few of her closest family members. She rose to the occasion and it turned out for the greater good to admit to the wrongdoings and she felt it was the best way to move on. She felt Jada did a great job addressing it in general.”
Adrienne didn’t hide the fact that she fought “tooth and nail” to keep Olivia from being a guest on her family’s talk show. “I just found it really ironic that she chose three Black women to reach out to for her redemption story. I feel like here we are, [a] white woman coming to Black women for support when we don’t get the same from them,” Jada’s 67-year-old mom explained. However, Jada and Adrienne were “glad” to know that Olivia is now aware of her platform and the “resources” she could use “to serve.”
