Although she was homeschooled, the 18-year-old Olympic gymnast and DWTS champ was able to walk in a grad ceremony with Old Bridge High School.
“I did the thing!! #Classof2018 #IDontEvenGoHere #ButIWouldHave #ZoomInOnMyCap,” Laurie posted on Instagram over the weekend in her robes. She looks so happy!
Laurie did call out one troll online who wrote that she didn’t deserve to walk in the procession with the other Class of 2018 students at the high school.
“Ok look,” she started to point out on Twitter. “A) I would’ve gone to OBHS if I wasn’t homeschooled. B) You act like I just completely skipped high school. You do know know that i had to do school throughout my gymnastics career/DWTS right?”
And her last was probably the best: “I was literally born/raised/still in old bridge ! Chill.”

JJJ chatted with celebs on the orange carpet at the 2018 Kids’ Choice Awards and found out some insightful (and some hilarious) words of wisdom.
“Build a community of support and love…because it makes your whole life so much easier,” Kira told JJJ.
Liza added, “Do not worry about how you are perceived! You do you! Wear makeup if you want to, try different clothes if you want to…Try whatever you want, you’re young, you’re fabulous…but learn how to draw on your eyebrows!”
The 17-year-old Olympic gymnast was joined at the show by fellow Olympian Chloe Kim, 17, who presented with Patrick Schwarzenegger during the show and got to stay clean and dry.
“That was a surprise😳💚 #KCA,” Laurietweeted to her fans after being hit with the green and gooey slime.
FYI: Chloe is wearing a Rebecca Vallance dress and Tory Burch shoes.
