The two have since pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering in the case.

“Olivia was angry with her parents at first, but now realizes that they were just trying to do what’s best for her,” a source close to the social media celebrity shared. “Olivia loves her mom and dad very much, but is especially close with Lori.”
