The actress and her fashion designer husband were sentenced on Friday for their participation in the college admissions scandal, where the rich and famous bought their children’s way into the country’s most prestigious universities.
Sentencing
Giannulli, the 57-year-old fashion designer of namesake Mossimo Brand, took a plea deal that guaranteed he would serve five months in prison, an additional two years of supervised release, and complete 250 hours of community service.

Lori’s apology
Loughlin tearfully apologized to the judge. “I made an awful decision. I went along with a plan to give my daughters an unfair advantage in the college admissions process and in doing so I ignored my intuition and allowed myself to be swayed from my moral compass.”

Jail Time
The couple will report to an undetermined prison facility on November 19th.
wpDiscuz
2 months, that’s it? I bet a lot of the Hollywood types would say it’s worth it if that’s all they’re going to get. Bribe to get their kid way ahead? Sure, they’ll do that.
Most colleges do much the same thing in reverse, and get not so much as a slap in the wrist.
But look what Clinton and Schumer did to get their child/ren into Stanford
and Harvard. Used our tax dollars with grants to those 2 colleges.
YOU OR I WOULD BE IMPRISONED NO LESS THAN 2 YEARS!!
What a joke 2 months is. Had it been Joan normal she would have gotten 10 years. The justice system in this country is a huge joke
It’s still two tier. what ever happened to quid-pro Joe? Nothing, he gets to run, or crawl for president.
2 months in some white collar prison with a golf course?
Two whole months, how will she ever survive? Any other person would be sentenced to the maximum and would already be forgotten.
Two months!!!! At least fine the family five million dollars and put the money towards a good cause.
Take off a third. That’s automatic. The elites always get off easy.
But politicians get access for their children to the so called elite colleges by being sure those colleges are receive grants and other goodies (tax dollars for their children’s education) and of course those children receive scholarships as well.
Anyone hear of any of the bribe takers being charged or in jail???
They claim white privileged does not exist when a white couple with money gets a total of six months in a country club prison but a black woman gets twenty years for using her fathers address to get her child into a better school district. Go figure
They only paid what the corrupt Administrators demanded….so wheres the charges for the bribe takers? The corrupt administrators?
Wow a star so two whole months…how will she stand it?
Ya’ll know the old saying. “Money talks and Bulls**t walks”. Proof is in the pudding.
And she and her Husband were treated FAR MORE HARSHLY then the rest because they didn’t accept the plea deal.
Sounds like BUREAUCRATIC BLACKMAIL!
