has been understandably quiet on social media for most of 2019. Once a prolific poster of beauty and shopping content on YouTube and Instagram, the vlogger went silent after her mother,, was charged with mail fraud, money laundering, and bribery in the college-admissions scandal that revealed some wealthy parents allegedly paid to fake their children's athletic qualifications and rig their academic test scores to ensure they got into their desired school.
On the afternoon of Sunday, December 1, Olivia Jade posted her first YouTube video since March. Titled simply "hi again," the 20-year-old influencer, whose real last name is Giannulli, talks to the camera for a mere two minutes, not saying much about the past few months, but suggesting that she'll be returning to the beauty-vlogging lifestyle very soon, despite having"Hi, everybody, it's Olivia Jade. Welcome back to my YouTube channel," she starts the video.
"A part of me is like, should I come back to YouTube right now cause it's been so long, and I actually really, really miss it. Like I genuinely miss filming. I feel like a huge part of me is just not the same because this is something that I'm really passionate about and something I really like to do," she tells viewers. "I debated for, like, seven or eight months.
Although she doesn't dive right back into her usual content, she does suggest that it will be starting up again soon. "Thank you so much for your patience or if you've stuck around for nine months, just waiting. I really appreciate it. This is the best I can do, and I want to move on with my life," she says.
Although there's arguably a much different moral to the story — you know, something about honesty and whatnot — we're looking forward to seeing what Olivia Jade decides to start posting for her millions of YouTube subscribers after all this time.
Yeah probably won’t be able to come back to do that for a while. I don’t want to say never but that’s a big scandal
