ABC Executive Responds to Claims Olivia Jade Giannulli Has ‘Deal’ to Remain on ‘DWTS’ Until Week 3

Olivia Jade Giannulli may have been a controversial casting choice for Dancing With the Stars, but ABC executive Robert Mills is shutting down reports that she’s receiving special treatment.

The EVP of Unscripted and Alternative Entertainment replied to a tweet based on a blind gossip item on Monday, September 27. “#OliviaJade supposed has a deal to stay at least 3 weeks without being in danger on #DWTS,” the post read.

“This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard,” Mills responded. “The show is a competition and as such is subject to legal and broadcast standard regulations.”

The 22-year-old YouTuber previously opened up about viewing the ABC show as a fresh start after her parents, Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli, pleaded guilty to fraud charges after they were indicted in the nationwide college admissions scandal in 2019. While the Fuller House alum, 57, served two months in prison in 2020, the fashion designer, 58, completed his five-month sentence earlier this year. – Source
