Sofia Richie is receiving criticism for defending her friend, Olivia Jade. The model, socialite, and ex of Keeping Up With the Kardashians star Scott Disick was accused of using her "white privilege" when she offered her support after Olivia broke her silence on the college admissions scandal her parents were sent to prison for.
The celebrity kid has been keeping a low profile since rebounding from Scott Disick with Cha Cha Matcha founder Matthew Morton. Sofia filled media headlines over the summer after she and the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star called it quits after three years of dating. Shortly after their breakup, Scott hit the dating scene and was spotted with a number of mystery blondes and brunettes. Sofia unfollowed her ex and Kourtney Kardashian after he was spotted going on a few dates with his ex Bella Banos. Once her newfound romance with Matthew was confirmed, Scott moved swiftly in getting his own rebound. He and 19-year-old Amelia Hamlin fueled romance rumors following a string of dates, including a cozy beach date where they were spotted walking arm-in-shoulder.
However, more recently, Sofia caught flack for something other than her love life. Olivia Jade visited the Red Table Talk to speak on her highly publicized college admissions scandal, and took to Instagram to share a clip from the interview. Sofia appeared in the comments to offer support to her friend amid all the backlash she was receiving, but was swiftly attacked by other commenters. "Yes girl! Can't wait for what's ahead," Sofia wrote under the post, as captured by Daily Mail. But, another follower was quick to accuse the two socialites of not understanding their privilege, writing, "White privilege supporting white privilege." However, though she often ignores shade, this time around Sofia fired back in a peaceful way. "We are all human," she replied. "Life is too short to wish negativity on anyone. Sending you love."
