Since the college admissions scandal news involving Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman, broke earlier this year, we haven't heard a much more than a peep from the cast of Fuller House.
Until now.
Since the college admissions scandal news involving Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman, broke earlier this year, we haven't heard a much more than a peep from the cast of Fuller House.
Until now.
Among the dozens of parents that were involved in the millions of dollars in illegal transactions that got their kids into college was Full House and Fuller House star, Aunt Becky, AKA, Lori Loughlin.
And court documents indicated that they waived their right to appear in court.
Honestly, seeing Lori smiling and signing autographs outside the courthouse — looking shockingly cavalier about the deep legal consequences she may be facing was my favorite part of the entire scandal.
On paper, it appeared that their daughters were accepted into college as athletic crew recruits — despite the fact that neither of them actually participated in the sport.
Lori and her husband could be facing up to decades in prison.
“When Lori heard the number of years she could spend in prison, she broke down crying," a source revealed to Entertainment Tonight.
“She has watched as the other families cut deals, but her husband feels they are not guilty and should plead not guilty."
"They feel they were manipulated by those involved and are planning that as part of their defense."
Naturally, given the state of Lori and her family's reputation and legal troubles, she was fired from her TV role on Hallmark Media series, When Calls the Heart.
Her longtime co-star, John Stamos, has finally weighed in on Lori's situation.
But the series began filming its fifth season just three months after Lori was accused of paying to get her daughters into college.
“I haven’t been on the show yet and it hasn’t come up," John explained.
John is actually producing this season of Fuller House, himself.
“It’s a difficult situation for everyone involved,” he added. “I don’t mean just on our side.”
Unfortunately, at this time, no official release date has been announced yet.
But hopefully he's ready to open up about it more in the future!
Lori's daughter, Olivia Jade, has had a few attempts at righting her own career path that got (rightfully) thrown off by this admissions scandal.
And in 2019, that's literally a full-time job so why her parents felt the need to scam her into college we may never know.
Unfortunately for her, she was dropped shortly after the admissions scandal erupted. She's since tried to make a return to the world of beauty influencing, but it didn't go too well.
Some people made sure to leave some pretty savage reviews of her makeup products on the Sephora website before the products were ultimately pulled from production.
She's also allegedly desperate to get back into school.
Apparently, Olivia Jade has been trying to get back in the school's good graces.
A source told Us Weekly, "she didn’t get officially kicked out and she is begging the school to let her back in."
