BOSTON - “Full House” actress Lori Loughlin and her fashion designer husband Mossimo Giannulli were sentenced on Friday to respective prison terms of two months and five months for participating in a vast U.S. college admissions scam.
Loughlin, 56, choked up as she apologized to U.S. District Judge Nathaniel Gorton in Boston for the “awful decision” she made to try to help her daughters gain an “unfair advantage” in the college admissions process. The two are among 55 people charged in a scheme masterminded by consultant William “Rick” Singer, who has admitted to facilitating cheating on college entrance exams and using bribery to secure the admission of children to schools under the guise of being sought-after athletes.
Prosecutors said Giannulli, the “more active” parent in the scheme, also paid $500,000 in purported “donations” as a quid pro quo to induce a USC employee to facilitate the recruitment of daughters Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose Giannulli.

I will turn her out
That will teach parents to get their kids into Ivy league. Except, of course, for dreamers and American Indians like Pocahonus, or Sen. Warren.
Only two months? And the school that took the money gets what?
She should be forced to watch the hallmark channel for two months
Probably should’ve been more.
She's a plant for 60 days in.
Obrigado pela Informação, !!! 🧐🌹🇯🇵
They're gonna love her.
why is she smiling
That’s not even enough for 1 new season of OITNB! Wtf?
A rich person getting a slap on the wrist for a crime wow surprise we all know jail is for the poor
She should have just looted, committed arson, tore down monuments and assaulted people and she would be free.
I don’t get why she only got 2 months and hubby got 5 months. Equal justice should have seen same sentence for both.
Two months? Wow, that's really gonna deter others from doing the same.
When you have lots of money and fame, there is a double standard which applies to you and the less unfortunate. In this country, there are two standards of the application of the criminal justice system! Those who have and those who have not!
If nobody like me did this, they would lock me up with Lexington Steele for several years.
Absolute rot😠
Really, REALLY should be 5 years.
There’s obviously two classes of people and their sentences. The rich. Who get off with relatively nothing. Then the rest of us. Who pay dearly for the same or less crimes. Seems like a broken justice system to me
What a joke. Star power?
Fraud scheme is what the wealthy are charged with...we on the other hand would be facing conspiracy charges
Proof money can buy freedom.......2 months in a plush cell...whoopie dooo.
Money = Power and in this scenario less jail time. Simple math!
And thanks to covid she’ll be released within 24 hours.... touché
2 months?
Just 2 months!?
“Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.” ― Aristotle
Doesn’t matter how long the sentence is. She’ll always be an ex con.
What a joke!
Doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat or Republican. Money talks.
Another W ... for the White and Wealthy!
Forget her throw both her daughter's in jail. They be nice sex toys for inmate's
Her reputation is ruined, her career is ruined, she shamed her daughters, and this is how she will be remembered in the future. I would see 2 months in jail as the cherry on the cake. This all could have been avoided.
The other parents who attend those colleges should bring a civil suit considering their Child actually had to do the hard work!
Only Trump can do this kind of stuff without consequences
It's will be house arrest, kind of a joke. At least they got dragged for several months....or was it more than a year
And will probably be out in a couple of days. Steve O was sentenced to 30 days and was out in 8 hours. Meanwhile people getting years for drug possession and larceny. The CJ is so screwed up in this country.
That's it two months. Should be 2 years.
It is called 'The rule of Law'. Still alien to very many jurisdictions around the world.
I’ve been in quarantine longer than she’ll be in jail? Really?
Hate to burst anyone’s bubble but this crap happens on a daily basis for rich people. Colleges such as Harvard allows people with fame to attend without reaching the standard metrics as well. How do I know? I worked for a MAJOR university foundation.
Yet that poor black woman receives five years for trying to educate her child!
What about her two insufferable daughters?
So sick of the hypocrisy. How many parents would have lied on admissions applications to help their kid, who wouldn’t have gotten in without it? Not all, but far more than the comments. ”fuck lying, my kids education isn’t worth being dishonest to USC”
Systemic Racism? Naw... that is just fake news
I would have doubled the fines and community service in forgotten about the jail time. It’s just going to cost us money to keep them in jail
If she were black she would have bean sentenced to at least seven.
Geez. They are hardly the only ones that do this. Making example out of Aunt Becky is just a photo op for the prosecution. Now prosecute the others now.
The wealthy justice system
And that lady who cast her vote wrongly, or something as major as that, got 5 years.
She got two months for taking a life-worth educational and career opportunity from less fortunate kids than her own. Nice.
There is a guy who has just been released after a decade of prison time which was cut down from life for 30 dollars of weed
NO AUNT BECKY!!!!!!!!! FreeAuntBecky
