Lori Loughlin arrives at the TV Land Icon Awards in Santa Monica in April 2016. By Allyson Chiu Allyson Chiu Reporter Email Bio Follow March 13 at 7:13 AM Lori Loughlin’s character faced a dilemma. Her two children had the chance to attend an elite school that promised to put their lives on the “fast track,” but there was only one problem: Their application wasn’t entirely accurate.
Fast-forward more than 20 years and Loughlin found herself in a strikingly similar situation, only this time it was real life. In 2016, Loughlin’s eldest daughter was preparing to apply for colleges, but federal prosecutors now allege that instead of leaving things to chance, the actress and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, used bribes to get their daughter into the University of Southern California.
Maybe #AuntBecky should've taken her own advice from the 1993 episode of Full House "Be True To Your Preschool" that it doesn't matter what school your kids go to as long as they're happy and well-adjusted. Later, Jesse is confronted with another sign that perhaps Bouton Hall isn’t such a good fit for his sons when he sits down to go over the school’s daunting application form.
Jesse’s lies appear to pay off as a breathless Becky, who has no idea the application was falsified, tells him that the boys, now bilingual and capable of playing the bassoon, have scored an interview for the school. It’s only when they arrive at the school that he comes clean to his wife in an effort to get her to go along with his scheme.
It turns out the school had its suspicions all along, as “not too many 2-year-olds are proficient on the bassoon,” the administrator responds, but surprisingly she allows the entrance interview to proceed. “It only shows you want what’s best for your boys.” — Joe $ Rivera March 13, 2019 An old interview of Loughlin has also resurfaced, in which she spoke about wanting her daughters to go to college.
From Full House to the Big House nice !
Family-friendly HallmarkChannel should cut bait. Hallmark
More white privilege gone bad
_allysonchiu leave it up to Hollywood to take college spots away from deserving kids. not one democrate has a word to say
They will get away with it as affluent people usually do
How many kids got into schools because of parents paying bribes? 10,20,50 thousand? Anyone know?
theTonyGee But that was a TV show. It’s like saying Bob Denver was once marooned on a desert island.
Wonder if she got writing/directing credits for that episode
SO? This is not new? It's what entitled people feel is normal. Disgusting? Yes, because this society has no honor, especially American society. You are a ugly country with a very ugly history and present. Your future is as ugly. One group think every thing belongs to them. Ugly
What about naming the MAN who is running the scam⁉️⁉️
I do NOT condone this in any way, shape or form....BUT it seems a tad hypocritical when we have a family LITERALLY buying their way into everything including WH and cabinet seats w/o same outrage!! That's your story!! Why are we turning blind eye to THAT?!?!
They weren’t rich enough. Trump’s dad gave $1.5 million to his college. Think that helped him get in? Hey, WAPO, how about some What Abouts to put this in perspective.
Shameless did an episode where the headmaster of Carl's military school is blackmailed to get Carl into West Point
And her husband?
Hey-they say if 'if you do the crime then do the time' but maybe she can request trial under TS Ellis' court. Under Ellis maybe she'll only get a year or so since she's so pretty.

Being beautiful and rich isn’t enough apparently WhitePrivilege
If Lori Loughlin goes to jail it will send a message that the law applies to all of us.
“dbongino “ALLEGED”, too many corroborating definitive facts and witnesses, and co-conspirators to say its alleged! Let’s face it, she is guilty of perpetrating a fraudulent scheme to get one ‘s child into a preferred college !
Hi
AUNT BECKY NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh man, she and her husband are done (yes, let's not forget her husband was charged as well)
From Full House to the big house
Where u go to college shouldn't be a problem so long as you can think we'll...
Have mercy!
Why don't any of the Hollywood elites condemned this disgraceful act committed by 2 of their own
Holy cow. I thought this plot sounded familiar!
Full Jailhouse
Obama's treasonous spying is more interesting, j/s.
Quick search of presidential donors among people indicted today for allegedly bribing their kids into college: Hillary Clinton: 6 Mitt Romney: 6 Barack Obama: 5 Marco Rubio: 1 Donald Trump: 0
She is best and honest
