Lori Loughlin’s daughter Olivia Jade uses Instagram app to donate to Black Lives Matter charity

Lori Loughlin’s daughter Olivia Jade has donated to a Black Lives Matter charity, after promising that she would ‘be better’ following her post about ‘using white privilege to end racism’ which was slammed for being ‘tone deaf’ in light of her college admissions scandal.

On Thursday, Olivia, 20, used a donation filter on Instagram to decide which organization she should contribute to, following the senseless killing of George Floyd. 

The influencer was seen posing on her Instagram Stories with the ‘BLM Donation Challenge’ filter above her head, that selects a charity for users to donate to, and tagged friends including Kylie Jenner‘s pal Anastasia Karanikolaou, to spread the message. 

She then revealed that she had been selected to the National Bail Out Fund, that helps free protesters from the black community across America. 

The challenge was created by Instagram user Toni Adeyemi in a bid to raise funds effectively across the social media platform. 

Earlier in the week, Olivia promised to ‘continue listening and continue learning’ after she was slammed for urging people to ‘use white privilege to stop racism’ despite her college admissions scandal.

Her post sparked backlash from users who were quick to claim that her so-called ‘white privilege’ was the thing that will stop her parents Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli from facing lengthy jail sentences in the college admissions scandal.

In the long post shared to Instagram Stories, Olivia originally wrote: ‘Need to understand that just ”not being racist” is not enough. if you hear people saying disrespectful things. CORRECT THEM.

‘Don’t sit there and allow this to continue happening. And if someone says something like ”no one is around that it offends.”

‘Or ”it’s a joke” IT SHOULD OFFEND all of us because it’s outright wrong and disgusting that humans talk/treat other HUMANS the way we’ve seen.

‘Explain how it’s not funny at all. How actually ignorant it sounds. How uneducated you sound when u are undermining what black people have had to deal with for generations.’

She continued: ‘Speak up!!! If you see something that doesn’t look right… do something!!!! THIS NEEDS TO BE CHANGED FOREVER!

‘And as a person who was born into privilege based on my skin color and financial situation, i was not always aware that these issues were still so present. And that makes me feel awful.

‘But that also fuels me. It makes me want to learn more and do more and be better for all my beautiful black friends and any other person who faces discrimination.

‘I’m not racist and I never have been but I need to speak up about this because just not being racism isn’t enough. It outrages me. It makes me feel sick. It brings me to tears. THERE SHOULD NOT BE SUCH A GAP BETWEEN PEOPLE LIKE THIS.’

Floyd died at a nearby hospital shortly after an exchange caught on camera in which he was handcuffed and pleading for his life as police officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on the back of his neck, rendering him unable to breathe; Chauvin has since been fired and charged in the incident.

Protests and riots have spread across the country since footage emerged of Floyd choking to death while being restrained by Chauvin.

Officers have since been criticised for their use of excessive force in controlling the enormous crowds that have gathered to protest in key cities all over the country.

Full House star Loughlin and fashion designer Giannulli were among dozens of wealthy parents, athletic coaches and others charged last year in the bribery scheme.

The police investigated dubbed Operation Varsity Blues also involved Desperate Housewives star Felicity Huffman, who was sentenced to 14 days in prison, serving 11.

Lori and Mossimo and paid hefty bribes to get their kids into top universities with bogus test scores or fake athletic credentials, authorities said.

The couple had been scheduled to go to trial in October on charges that they got their two daughters into USC as crew recruits, even though neither girl was a rower.

Prosecutors say they funneled money through a sham charity operated by college admissions consultant Rick Singer, who has pleaded guilty to orchestrating the scheme.
