LORI LOUGHLIN'S FALL FROM GRACE

AS DETAILS ARE LEAKED ABOUT THE ACTRESS’ PRISON PLEA DEAL, WILL HER HUSBAND AND DAUGHTERS STICK BY HER SIDE?

- 

Lori Loughlin catapulted to fame in the early ’90s as the beloved Aunt Becky on Full House. She went on to have guest roles in prime time hit shows such as Seinfeld and The Drew Carey Show and even scored a lucrative straight-to-TV movie deal with the Hallmark channel.

However, the 55-year-old experienced a dramatic fall from grace over the past year when she became the poster child for the nationwide US college admissions cheating scandal. Lori and her husband Mossimo Giannulli, 57, were among dozens of wealthy parents – including fellow actress Felicity Huffman – accused of paying bribes to third parties in order to secure their children placements at elite colleges.

In March 2019, the star and her husband were arrested and charged for their involvement in a scheme to help their daughters Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose gain admission to the University of Southern California. This allegedly occurred by way of the couple paying $500,000 to a third party in order to create forged documentation claiming that the girls were elite rowers. This was then used to support their application for an athletic admission to the college.
