College Admissions Scandal Update: Lori Loughlin Allegedly Joked About Rejecting This 'Legitimate' Step

New details continue to come to light regarding the ongoing college admissions scam as Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli move closer to their upcoming trial.

In 2019, they were each accused of paying William "Rick" Singer $500,000 so that their daughters, Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose, could attend the University of Southern California (USC). Following the allegations, they were charged with mail and wire fraud, honest services mail and wire fraud, money laundering, and conspiracy to commit federal programs bribery.

Now, according to USA Today, prosecutors have revealed that they are reportedly in possession of an email from 2016 that shows Loughlin and Giannulli joking about how he turned down taking part in the "legitimate admissions process."

As stated in the publication, Giannulli "rejected" help from a USC administrator pertaining to the admission process for his eldest daughter. At the time, the school official offered one-on-one interviews and a customized tour of the campus. To this, Giannulli reportedly replied, "Thanks so much, I think we are squared away." He allegedly later emailed Loughlin to say that it was the nicest he had ever been at "blowing off somebody."

According to prosecutors, the dismissal allegedly came after Singer informed the parents that a fake profile that depicted their daughter as a crew recruit had been created. As stated in a subsequent motion, "The Giannullis specifically rejected this 'legitimate' approach."

This new development follows other details that have surfaced regarding the ongoing admissions scam. Previously, it was reported that the "Fuller House" had started taking certain steps behind the scenes in order to prepare for her "inevitable" future. Some have also advised her to face the "consequences" ahead of her trial.
