Loughlin and Mossimo were two of several parents named in last year’s college admissions scandal, and were accused of paying scam ringleaderRick Singer$500,000 to falsely designate Olivia and Bella asrecruits to the University of Southern California crew team. Both Loughlin and Mossimo insisted they were innocent for more than a year, but agreed toplead guiltyto conspiracy charges in May.
“I’m not trying to victimize myself. I don’t want pity — I don’t deserve pity. We messed up. I just want a second chance to be like, ‘I recognize I messed up,'” Olivia said onRed Table Talk. “I never got to say, ‘I’m really sorry that this happened,’ or ‘I really own that this was a big mess-up on everybody’s part,’ but I think everybody feels that way in my family right now.”
A source told PEOPLE earlier this month that Olivia is going to “focus on her own life” during the holidays.

“The girls can’t rely on their parents to ‘fix’ things anymore,” the source added.
Another source told PEOPLE in November that Loughlin and Mossimo’s prison sentences have been a “nightmare” for Bella and Olivia.
Loughlin is currently scheduled for release on December 28, while Mossimo is expected to be released in April.
