Alright, let's break it down. You might assume that Lori Loughlin is completely devastated and consumed with worry over what she and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, are facing after being caught up in the infamous college admissions scandal. But honestly? That's not even close to her biggest concern. Her priority—now more than ever—is her two daughters: Isabella Rose Giannulli, 20, and Olivia Jade Giannulli, 19. These young women are at the center of her thoughts and emotions.
Here's what a source close to the situation told Us Weekly: "Lori is absolutely mortified, and she fully understands just how serious this whole scandal is. But her primary concern has always been her daughters, and that hasn't changed. If anything, it's intensified. She's genuinely less worried about herself and Mossimo and far more focused on protecting her daughters' futures." That's the real story here—Lori's maternal instincts kicking into overdrive.
Why Lori's Focus Is on Her Daughters
Now, let's take a step back and think about this situation from Lori's perspective. Imagine being in her shoes. Sure, the legal ramifications are massive, and no one can deny that. But as a mother, your instincts kick in, and your first thought is always about your kids. In this case, Lori is thinking about how this scandal could impact her daughters' lives moving forward. What will their college experience be like? How will they navigate the public eye and the judgment that comes with it? These are the questions keeping her up at night.

So, earlier this month, Lori, 54, and Mossimo, 55, were indicted by the Department of Justice for their alleged role in a nationwide college admissions scam. They're just two of about 50 people implicated in this massive scheme, including other celebrities like Desperate Housewives star Felicity Huffman. The reactions from fellow celebrities have been all over the map, but one thing is clear: this scandal has rocked Hollywood to its core.
What Exactly Did Lori and Mossimo Allegedly Do?
According to court documents, Lori and Mossimo allegedly agreed to pay a staggering $500,000 in bribes. The goal? To have their daughters designated as recruits for the USC crew team, even though neither of them had any real involvement in the sport. This plan was supposed to guarantee their admission to the University of Southern California. It's a shocking revelation, and it's left many people questioning the lengths some parents will go to for their children's futures.
Support From Unexpected Places
While Lori's so-called friends are reportedly distancing themselves from her, she's still finding support from an unlikely place: the Fuller House cast. Even though she won't be returning for the show's fifth and final season, her costars stood by her at the 2019 Kids' Choice Awards. They made it clear that family sticks together, no matter what. That kind of loyalty is rare in Hollywood, and it's a testament to the bond they've formed over the years.
Lori and Mossimo were arrested on March 12 and March 13, respectively. Both appeared before a judge and were released on $1 million bonds. Due to scheduling conflicts, their next court appearance was postponed from March 29 to April 3. Meanwhile, their daughters remain enrolled at USC, but the school is conducting a thorough review of all students and graduates potentially connected to the scandal. Once that review is complete, USC will make decisions about the status of those involved.
