Olivia Jade Giannulli shared a celebratory New Year’s post days after her mom, Lori Loughlin, was released from prison for her role in the college admissions scandal.  The 21-year-old influencer took to Instagram on Saturday to share a video of herself in a black dress celebrating 2021 with a drink in her hand while dancing with friends. The post also contained a few photos of the festivities, which took place on a balcony overlooking the ocean. "2021 let’s just keep the vibes good, k?" she captioned the post.  The star has a good reason to want to say goodbye to 2020 given that it was the year she and her family faced a great deal of controversy that saw her mom go to prison for two months.
