Olivia Jade GiannulliandNatasha Bureare getting candid about growing up under their famous moms.
Natasha, 23, was the first to respond, explaining, “For me, growing up, I always felt, since I was super little, that I was ‘Candace’s daughter.'”
“With acting, it’s something I’m so passionate about and I love, and that’s also what my mom just happens to do, so I had to start separating myself at a certain age and really try to form my own identity and that can be really hard if you get boxed into that,” she said.
Continuing, Natasha — who most recently starred in the films,The Farmer and the Belle: Saving SantalandandHome Sweet Home— debunked the theory that she only wanted to pursue acting because of her mom.

“I think that’s why I enjoy social media so much — to try to have people to know me on my own… like, this is me,” added Natasha, who has written a book andcompeted onThe Voice. “I just want people to know you can know me for me and not for someone else [because] that’s my biggest pet peeve.”
As for Olivia, 22, she said her experience growing up under Loughlin, 57, was quite different.
“For me, I never even initially expected or wanted to be in the public eye when I was younger,” saidthe beauty blogger. “When I started my YouTube channel, I did not think that was gonna garner any sort of following. I didn’t think that I would be written about in news outlets, paparazzi, none of that. That never even had crossed my mind.”
“I just knew I really liked makeup and fashion and filming it on YouTube,” she added. “So for me, it was never really an issue because I felt like when I was younger, it was really fun when I would get invited to invites and bring my mom as a date and was super proud of it.”

“I love her and I’m so proud of her, like, she’s killing it,” Natasha said of her pal. “She’s just handling everything with such grace, which is something I really admire.”
“We’ve been friends and sisters since forever. We have so many fun memories together of just, like, hanging out,” she added. “It’s just, like, a fun, interesting dynamic too. When you both [have] one of your parents on a show together and then you’re the same age and you are friends. It’s super fun.”

Olivialaunched her podcastin October, shortly after her parents completed their respective prison sentences for their involvement in the highly publicizedcollege admissions scandal.
On the first episode of her podcast, Oliviaaddressed the scandal,admitting that she dreads talking about it in fear of being “canceled again”, and hopes to one day put it in the past for good.
“I’m so hesitant to talk about it because of the trauma … of like, ‘Gosh, if I say this or it comes off kinda the wrong way, am I gonna get canceled again?’ It really does leave an impression in one’s mind,” she said. “I get so nervous, and I feel like I walk on eggshells when I talk, just because I don’t wanna say the wrong thing.”
The YouTuber added, “People who have experienced it, even if it’s in a different capacity, it’s like you live your life a little bit differently, in my opinion, and you just kind of shut down. You kinda start to believe what people are telling you: You don’t deserve a second chance, there is no room for growth. Not to sound super dark, but how do you bounce back then? Because I wanna be alive, I still wanna grow up.”
