Olivia Jade is hoping her stint on Olivia has started to make her return to the public eye, reappearing on social media in January and breaking her silence on the scandal last year as a guest on Jada Pinkett Smith's Facebook Watch series, Red Table Talk.
Competing alongside Olivia for ABC's monumental 3oth season of Dancing With The Stars will be reality stars Matt James of The Talk's Amanda Kloots (who used to dance on Broadway and even worked her way to becoming one of the Radio City Rockettes).
Shortly after Olivia's participation was announced, Olivia is hopeful that ABC viewers will get to experience her true self and real personality after many have jumped to conclusions from her parents' crimes. That being said, Olivia added that she by no means believes this opportunity should let her go and collect $200 but instead just hopes that viewers can see she's learning and growing from her past. Olivia also hopes the DWTS audience will give her a second chance because she's putting herself out of her comfort zone and willing to take on whatever is thrown at her.
Olivia isn't sure if her family will be making any appearances in the audience due to heavy COVID-19 restrictions but knows that her parents are "stoked" for her to gain an opportunity such as this one. Hand in hand with Lori rooting for her daughter to take home the Mirrorball Trophy, Olivia its she's already gotten her in with her former Candace a few days ago and we were FaceTiming," Olivia said. "She was just sending her love and pointers. Just like, 'Be patient with yourself. It is going to be hard but have so much fun with it.' Just all very encouraging things. She is the best. She is literally the sweetest. She has such a good energy about her, and her daughter is one of my close friends, Natasha, who is also amazing."
Everyone deserves a second chance, so it's exciting to see what Olivia can bring to the table when she hits the Dancing With The Stars dance floor. That said, appearing on the show is a bold move as she's making herself vulnerable to many harsh opinions about her life and skills. If Olivia is able to keep her head high and skin thick, this just might be the perfect move to show America that she deserves acceptance.
Dancing With The Stars premieres September 20 at 8pm on ABC.
