Lori Loughlin’s ‘Regrets’ Over College Admissions Scandal Revealed

They have now entered guilty pleas and will learn their official fates in August, but now, Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli’s feelings about their roles in the college admissions scandal have reportedly come to light.

Since being initially indicted in March 2019, the “Full House” star and her fashion designer husband had maintained their innocence when it came to allegations they paid William “Rick” Singer $500,000 to get their daughters, Isabella Rose and Olivia Jade, into the University of Southern California as Row recruits, though neither girl had ever participated in the sport. After a request to have the charges against them thrown out was denied by a judge however, the couple changed their tune and instead entered guilty pleas last week.

Now, sources tell Yahoo News that the couple was somewhat influenced to change their pleas because they were actually sorry for their actions and were eager to finally start putting the entire situation behind them.

“Lori and Mossimo deeply regret what they did and want to put this experience behind them,” a source told the website.

Before the couple can officially move forward however, they will need to accept the punishments given to them by a judge in August. If their current plea agreements are accepted, Loughlin will serve two months in prison and face a $150,000 fine, while her husband will face a five-month imprisonment and $250,000 fine. They would also have to complete a combined 350 hours of community service and would both also have two years of supervised release.

As for what the future could hold for Loughlin, who is best known for her roles in “Full House” and with the Hallmark Channel, some have wondered if she would be able to have a comeback with her career once she served her time, but some experts feel that her reputation may be permanently “tainted” because of the scandal.

“She didn’t fight it and get off and even if she had, there was a lot of damage done,” KerrPR President Cherie Kerr said. “It’s generally not just one thing, but I think her career and her image is tainted from here on out because of what happened. If she’s not well thought of as a mother, to a lot of people in the public that will be a big black mark against her.”
