Olivia Jade quit her YouTube channel and went into hiding from the media for a short time amid her family’s involvement in the college admissions scandal.
The announcement that she plans on returning to vlogging comes just days after her mom, Lori Loughlin, was granted early release from prison.
The 56-year-old actress was emotional as she returned to her children, Olivia Jade and Bella Rose, and is ‘beyond relieved that she can put her prison sentence behind her’, a source told People.

The insider added: ‘It’s the most stressful thing she has ever dealt with. She plans on spending New Year’s with Olivia and Bella. She is still worried about Mossimo though, and can’t wait to have him home.’
The Full House actress served nearly two months at the FCI Dublin in California, being released in the early hours of Monday morning. She entered the facility on October 30.
Despite prison officials telling DailyMail.com she would not be given any special treatment, a guard was seen letting Loughlin exit the building through a rarely used side door, where trash is normally taken out.
As terms of her release, she must complete 100 hours of community service, pay a $150,000 fine and have two years of supervised release.

Loughlin’s husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, is serving his five-month sentence at a prison in Lompoc near Santa Barbara, California.
The couple were among the highest-profile defendants charged in the scheme, which revealed the lengths to which some wealthy parents will go to get their children into elite universities.
They admitted in May to paying $500,000 to get their two daughters into the University of Southern California as crew recruits, even though neither girl was a rower.

This month, Olivia Jade, made her first public remarks about the scandal this month on the series Red Table Talk and admitted she initially didn’t think there was anything wrong but now realizes that her family ‘messed up’.
‘We messed up. I just want a second chance to be like, ‘I recognize I messed up.’ And for so long I wasn’t able to talk about this because of the legalities behind it,’ she said in the interview.
Of the nearly 60 parents, coaches and others charged in the case, about a dozen are still fighting the allegations. The sentences for the parents who have pleaded so far in the case range from a couple weeks to nine months.
