Lori Loughlin has remained a fixture in the news throughout the past year due to her involvement in the Rick Singer-led college admissions scandal. On May 22, the "Fuller House" actress appeared before federal Judge Nathaniel Gorton and pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud. Now, a new report has indicated what she hopes to do following the recent development.

Prior to entering her guilty plea, both she and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, were accused of paying Singer $500,000 so that their daughters, Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose, could attend the University of Southern California (USC). As a result, they were charged with mail and wire fraud, honest services mail and wire fraud, money laundering, and conspiracy to commit federal programs bribery in 2019.
