This despite the fact that neither had trained for, or expressed any interest in, the sport.

Instagram The two daughters have always been open about their family scandal and defended their parents altogether. Speaking at the November 2021 episode of Conversations with Olivia Jade podcast, Isabella said, "I think just the hardest part of this entire thing was watching how horrible the media was to both you and Mom and actually knowing you guys and knowing Mom has the biggest heart. I think for me even though I also was getting dragged negatively, it didn't nearly affect me as much as Mom having all this thrown on her. And I think we can talk about this, that she really took this whole thing on her back, solely." Olivia Jade speaking about the scandal and her mother's incarceration, said, "It caused a lot of anger within me when I would read stuff about her. And I just think it's interesting that when I would read stuff about myself it affected me and I cared, but it didn't nearly affect me the same way that if I read it about mom."
