Is Lori Loughlin Being Held to a Higher Standard than Others in College Admission Scandal?
BY THE DAILY BLAZE, A Price of Business Digital Network Partner
It has been a tough week for Lori Loughlin, who is one of several very successful people accused of using a bribery scheme to advance the academic career of her children. Her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, has been implicated too and they both had to put up significant bail to stay immediately out of jail.
The initial prognosis is that Loughlin’s career as an actress is over. According to CNBC “Loughlin and Giannulli, who are accused of paying $500,000 to get their daughters into USC, allegedly had the girls pose as potential members of the crew team, when neither girl rowed.” USC is the University of Southern California. For many, this is the epitome of unfairness. A family with an enormous amount of wealth, cheating to get their children in school and taking admission spots that would have gone to others that truly needed them.
Loughlin has made her career playing a character that was a role model to others (as “Aunt Becky” on Full House and the reboot of Fuller House on Netflix) or working for a network that has promoted itself as having the highest of standards (The Hallmark Channel). Instantly Loughlin has instantly become poison to both Netflix and The Hallmark Channel.
