Lori Loughlin's Daughters Break Social Media Silence After College Admissions Scandal

Lori Loughlin's daughters Olivia Jade and Isabella "Bella" Giannulli have broken their social media silence following the college admissions scandal.

Olivia, 19, and Bella, 20, both returned to Instagram to wish their mom a happy birthday. For Olivia, this was the first post she's shared since February 28. Bella, however, reactivated her profile on Sunday to share her tribute after having left Instagram in April following her mother pleading not guilty in the admissions case.

Olivia, who still has Instagram comments disabled, shared a throwback photo of her famous mother, 55, holding her as a baby.

"one day late. happy birthday. i love you so much," she captioned the pic on Monday.

Bella, on the other hand, posted a much more current pic and wrote, "happy birthday mama. I love you " Olivia commented on her sister's post. "My people," she wrote.

Amelia Gray, 18, daughter of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star, Lisa Rinna, also commented on the post with some heart emojis.

Olivia and Bella's posts mark their first social media action in months.

Although Bella isn't a YouTuber like her younger sister, her Instagram profile was quite popular and perhaps gained even more scrutiny after the scandal. Like Olivia's posts, Bella's were rife with negative comments. Loughlin deleted her own social media presence months ago amid the initial backlash to the admissions scandal.

Neither sister has spoken publicly about the ongoing scandal and both remain enrolled at USC, as USA Today reported in late March. That said, though, TMZ reported the girls do not intend to return to the school "for fear of bullying."

The girls' parents have been accused, alongside actress Felicity Huffman and dozens of other parents, of bribing their kids into elite schools. Loughlin and Giannulli are accused of paying $500,000 to pass their daughters off as athletic recruits applying to be members of the USC crew team, even though neither competitively rowed before.

After Loughlin and Giannulli pled innocent, prosecutors added conspiracy to money launder onto the conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud charges, which doubled their potential maximum prison sentences to 40 years. But the couple insists they thought they were making a donation to benefit the school.

Many have scoffed at the actress for not simply taking the "legacy donation" route like affluent alumni parents have been doing for years; it appears Loughlin's legal strategy is to attempt to prove that's exactly what she believed she was doing.

"[Their friends] have explained to them that they cannot just plead ignorance," a source told ET back in April. "In the end, [Loughlin] trusts those who are advising her and somehow believes there is a chance she will go free."
