Lori Loughlin Labeled 'Privileged' On Social Media After Prison Release For College Admissions Scandal

Lori Loughlin was released from prison Monday after serving two months for her role in a college bribery scheme.

The actress, known for her role on the sitcom "Full House," started the sentence on Oct. 30. She served her time at the Federal Correction Institution in Dublin, California.

In May, Loughlin and her fashion designer husband Mossimo Giannulli pleaded guilty in federal court to conspiracy charges, which involved a $500,000 bribe to get their daughters, Isabella and Olivia Jade, accepted into the University of Southern California.

Giannulli is serving a five-month sentence at the Federal Correctional Complex in Lompoc, California, and will be released on April 17.

Loughlin and Giannulli had paid the scheme's mastermind William “Rick” Singer, who used inflated entrance college entrance exam test scores and bribed college officials to get wealthy parents' children accepted to top universities. Fifty-three people were accused of wrongdoing in the college admissions scandal.

Loughlin's release prompted mixed reactions on social media.

The college admissions scandal was among the biggest stories of 2019 and sparked debate about the special treatment afforded to the wealthy.

On Dec. 8, Olivia Jade appeared as a guest on actress Jada Pinkett Smith’s show, “Red Table Talk,” to speak about her parents’ actions for the first time. She acknowledged her privilege and explained the backlash she faced from the scandal.

Olivia Jade, 21, and Isabella, 22, were never charged with a crime and neither were any of the other students involved in the college admissions scandal.

Loughlin, who was fined $150,000, will have two years of supervised release and must complete 100 hours of community service.
