Lori Loughlin's YouTube star daughter is being mercilessly trolled on social media after her mother was among those charged in a plot to help wealthy Americans cheat their children's way into universities.

Olivia Jade Giannulli, who is the 19-year-old daughter of Loughlin and designer Mossimo Giannulli, started attending classes at the University of Southern California last year.

Her parents were charged on Tuesday for allegedly paying $500,000 to get Olivia into USC as a fake rowing recruit. They also have another daughter 20-year-old Isabella who also attends USC.

Both parents have been released from custody after posting $1 million bail.

The teen, who goes by Olivia Jade on her YouTube channel, was immediately slammed on her social media accounts by those who accused her of taking away another student's place at the college.

Critics also questioned Olivia's commitment to her education after she faced backlash last year for saying she didn't 'really care about school' but wanted to experience 'game days and partying'.

She posted a video to her YouTube channel on the day she was due to start college last year, saying: 'I don't know how much of school I'm gonna attend.

'But I'm gonna go in and talk to my deans and everyone, and hope that I can try and balance it all. But I do want the experience of like game days, partying… I don't really care about school, as you guys all know.'

She was forced to apologize several days later after her viewers slammed her for being 'ignorant' and 'spoiled'.

The 19-year-old has also cashed in on being student during her brief time at USC.

She posted sponsored content for Amazon Prime on her Instagram account in September that featured an image of her inside her USC dorm room.

'Officially a college student! It's been a few weeks since I moved into my dorm and I absolutely love it. I got everything I needed from Amazon with @primestudent and had it all shipped to me in just two-days,' the post read.

Olivia has also posted several videos to her YouTube channel featuring her college life. She typically shares make-up and fashion videos with her two-million subscribers.

She came under fire in 2017 for a video on her channel that showed her filming herself while driving just moments before getting into a terrifying car crash.

In a tweet just last month, Olivia noted that she much preferred filming YouTube videos than school.

'YouTube will always be my #1 passion. I promise I'd way rather be filming 24/7 than sitting in 6 hours of classes straight but an education is also super important to me so thank u for ur patience and letting me figure out time management . Ily bbs.'

Olivia's parents were two of the 50 parents and coaches charged on Tuesday in a plot to get their children into schools including Georgetown, Stanford, UCLA, University of San Diego, USC, University of Texas, Wake Forest and Yale.

The scheme involved parents paying bribes of up to $6 million to get their children into these elite schools.

In many instances, authorities said the children were unaware that their parents had paid these bribes.

Oscar nominee Felicity Huffman was also charged as part of the scheme.

Most of those charged either paid to get higher SAT scores or faked an athletic resume that, with the participation of a bribed college coach, helped the children get accepted to a college as a team's recruit.

In the indictment, prosecutors claim Loughlin and her husband 'agreed to pay bribes totaling $500,000 in exchange for having their two daughters designated as recruits to the USC crew team - despite the fact that they did not participate in crew - thereby facilitating their admission to USC.

Federal prosecutors in Boston charged William 'Rick' Singer, 58, with running the racketeering scheme through his Edge College & Career Network. His network served a roster of clients including actresses and chief executives.

Prosecutors said Singer's operation arranged for fake testers to take college admissions exams in place of his clients' children, and also bribed coaches to give admissions slots meant to be reserved for recruited athletes even if the applicants had no athletic ability.

Some 33 parents were charged, as well as 13 coaches and associates of Singer's business.
