Olivia said onRed Table Talkthat she recognizes that the family “messed up.”
“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,'” she said. “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.”
She also recalled the moment when she first learned that the scandal was unfolding in the public eye.
“I was sitting with a group of friends and I knew any second everybody was going to know too, if they didn’t already, and I remember just freezing and feeling so ashamed — I went home and hid myself for probably three or four months,” she said, going on to say that though she “didn’t really 100 percent understand what just had happened” she immediately knew it was “wrong.”

In the immediate aftermath, Olivia said she “wasn’t angry” at her parents, primarily because she initially “didn’t see the wrong” in the situation.
“I was like, ‘Why is everybody complaining?'” she said. “That’s embarrassing within itself, that I walked around my whole 20 years of life not realizing, ‘You have insane privilege. You’re like the poster child of white privilege. You had no idea.'”
