  • Lori Loughlin reported to prison to serve her two-month sentence after accepting a plea deal in the college admissions scandal.

  • Lori will serve two months, and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, will serve five months in prison.


Lori Loughlin is no longer a free woman. On October 30, she reported to the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, California, to quarantine before officially beginning her two-month sentence on November 19, Us Weekly reports. She currently isn’t allowed to have visitors, and she’s being tested for COVID-19 and placed in quarantine.

In August, a judge sentenced Lori to two months in federal prison, two years of supervised release, 1oo hours of community service, and to pay a $150,000 fine for her role in the college admissions scandal. Her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, also struck a plea deal and will serve five months in prison, two years of supervised release, 250 hours of community service, and pay a $250,000 fine for his involvement.

Although they were reportedly hoping to avoid any jail time, they were able to avoid the potential 50-year sentence that was speculated in October. Lori said she deeply regrets her actions and claimed she only paid for her daughters’ admission to the University of Southern California because she wanted them to have a good life. During her virtual sentencing on August 21, she said:

“I made an awful decision. I went along with the plan to give my daughters an unfair advantage in the college admissions process. In doing so, I ignored my intuition and allowed myself to be swayed from my moral compass. I thought I was acting out of love for my children, but in reality, I had only undermined and diminished my daughters’ abilities and accomplishments.

“While I wish I could go back and do things differently, I can only take responsibility and move forward. I have great faith in God and I believe in redemption, and I will do everything in my power to redeem myself and use this experience as a catalyst to do good and give back for the rest of my life. Your honor, I am truly, profoundly and deeply sorry. I am ready to face the consequences and make amends.”

Lori and Mossimo were accused of paying $500,000 to guarantee their daughters, Olivia Jade and Bella, admission into USC as crew recruits.
