Stamos Defends Loughlin Amid Scandal Fallout

During his interview on the Good Guys podcast, Stamos shared his heartbreak for Loughlin, who was married to Giannulli for 28 years before their reported separation. He attributed significant blame to Giannulli for the pair’s legal troubles. “I know for a fact it was all him,” Stamos stated, adding, “she goes to f—ing prison for this a–hole.”

Background of the Admissions Scandal

Loughlin and Giannulli were indicted in 2019 as part of a bribery scheme known as Operation Varsity Blues. They sought to secure spots for their daughters, Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose, at the University of Southern California. Their involvement led to prison sentences and fines for both parents.

• Loughlin served months in federal prison and was fined.
• She was also sentenced to complete 100 hours of community service.
• Giannulli served five months in prison and received probation.

Loughlin was on parole until December 2022 as part of her sentencing. Stamos mentioned that he reached out to Loughlin during the scandal and she indicated that her husband managed the situation.

The Impact on Their Relationship

Stamos has often spoken highly of Loughlin, previously indicating that she was “the one that got away.” Their relationship dates back to their time on the show *Full House*, where they played iconic characters Rebecca Donaldson and Jesse Katsopolis.

Throughout the years, Stamos has remained supportive of Loughlin. After her release from prison, he checked in on her, recalling that Loughlin humorously noted, “I met a lot of nice ladies in there. We have a book club.” Stamos praised her character, calling her “an angel” and expressing frustration over her treatment in the ongoing situation.

As this situation unfolds, the fallout from the college admissions scandal continues to affect those involved, particularly Lori Loughlin, who remains a prominent figure in the media spotlight.
