Tyra Banks defends Olivia Jade being on 'Dancing with the Stars' Season 30

“Dancing with the Stars” host Tyra Banks is speaking out in defense of the show after it was announced that Olivia Jade will compete on the latest season following her involvement in the college admissions scandal.

"I think Olivia is so brave. I think people don't know her, they know what happened to her," Banks told the outlet. "She has said that she did not know about what was going on and it's really sad, and it's very hurtful when something publicly happens but you had nothing to do with it. So I trust that she says she didn't know."

In December, Loughlin finished serving two months behind bars for her role in the scandal. Loughlin agreed to serve two months and pay a $150,000 fine along with two years of supervised release and 100 hours of community service. Her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, meanwhile, was ordered to pay a $250,000 fine with two years of supervised release and 250 hours of community service in addition to a five-month prison sentence. He got out of prison in April.
