Lori Loughlins Husband Is Apparently A Vocal Trump Supporter Who Frequently Complains About People Not Carrying Their Own Weight
The fallout of Operation Varsity Blues, as its now being called, has been full of schadenfreude, to say the least. Actress Lori Loughlin, whose wholesome Full House image that had been the staple of the Hallmark channel (note, past-tense) for years is suddenly looking at five years in prison for shelling out $500,000 to get her ungrateful daughters into the University of Southern California and people are absolutely riveted.
Of course, Loughlin did not act alone, as her apparel company-founder husband, Mossimo Giannulli, shares the blame for the alleged crime. And while there has been lots and lots of irony associated with Loughlins part in the scandal, her husband asks to kindly hold his fancy beer while he adds some hypocrisy to the whole thing.
According to Tom Arnold, just weeks before the scandal broke, Giannulli was sloshed at a Hollywood party going on about his support for President Donald Trump and how people should be carrying their own weight. Oh, do tell!
Couple wks ago I got into it with for 10th time with #CollegeCheatingScandal DAD at big party cause his sloppy ass was rambling on again about Trump & people carrying their own weight & his own conservative politics being right of Attila the Hun,' Arnold, an outspoken Trump critic tweeted earlier this week. He embarrassed Scandal Mom again.
Page Six got in touch with another person allegedly in attendance at the same party who backed up Arnolds account. Mossimo was talking about how he agrees with Trump, and that people need to carry their own weight, the spy offered. He was saying theres a lot of takers out there and entitled people.

(5,271 posts)She had succeeded in convincing the judge to reluctantly agree to let her keep her passport until December so she could spend much of this year filming her Hallmark movies and shows. But almost immediately after the court hearing, Hallmark not only fired her from all of those projects but announced they would not even air any of her previous movies and shows.
Poor Lori is now stuck in LA with her ass of a spouse and the two bratty daughters instead of those fun jaunts to Canada.

(297,723 posts)she wouldn't get fired. She not only screwed up her life but those of her co-workers.. only not even close as much.
Netflix fired her ass, too.. their Lori project.. "Fuller House".

(26,142 posts)She's just been fired. They are recasting it, as per industry scuttlebutt.
Which makes it even more delicious.
Cha
(297,723 posts)writers have been getting busy writing her out of the show. That's gonna be interesting.
I'm a big fan of When Calls The Heart.. and I'm obsessed with what's happening now.
And, now.. we find out her husband is a trump supporter! omg.
There was also another Loughlin project with Hallmark.. "Garage Sale Mysteries" that the plug has been pulled.
Like the headline said.. she "committed career suicide" and for what?

(31,261 posts)How clueless and arrogant are they? They could have gotten their daughters in the old fashionec way, have a person of influence with the university put a bug in admission's ear, and presto resto, the kids were in and safe from being kicked out.
Cha
(297,723 posts).. he got in the old fashioned way.. by his father's name.
Instead they paid purportedly $ 1/2 a mil

Oh, they had three more of the Garage Sale movies in the can, and she was set to film a couple Xmas movie and "run" the Xmas countdown again. I used to have a huge crush on Aunt Becky until she went on the 700 Club and I realized she was a wingnut!!!
I have been appalled so many #hearties on twitter have been defending her.
I'm glad the rest of the cast aren't losing their jobs.
Cha
(297,723 posts)She was never my fave on When Calls the Heart.. that would be Erin Kradow and Daniel Lissing( ) but I liked her.. and now.. uh uh. Didn't know she was a 700 wingnut and her hubs a trump supporter. I wonder if she is?
I read an interview she had awhile back defending Candace Cameron Brue on The View who is a trump supporter.
They're all stupid.. how can you be a "Christian" and support the Anti-Christ".. Think People!
And, what is the rational for defending Loughlin?

(1,865 posts)Who went to USC. I happen to be an alumna who came to SC from the Midwest. My parents were solidly middle class. I sat for my own ACT and SAT tests. I paid for my schooling with scholarships, money from my parents, loans and working about 25 hours a week at the general counsels office. On top of that I was an RA for my final two years. My friends came from a mix of backgrounds. I am disgusted over this as well as other scandals that have been in the news. But to suggest everyone who went it goes there is a privileged asshole is really not fair.

(135 posts)1. I am from St. Louis and worked my ass off to get in there.
2. Just about everyone who gets admitted to USC has done the same thing.
3. USC is a very liberal university.
4. You clearly got rejected from there (I can see from your post why you did) and to this day are envious of those who attended or attends there.
5. It's pretty cowardly of you to call a bunch of people who post on this board who attended USC "assholes." What a tough guy you are.
rufus dog
(8,419 posts)So no reject letter for me.
Not all people from SC are assholes, but no other University has anywhere near the number of assholes that SC puts out.
I actually no some very fine people who attended SC, also know some major assholes who attended SC.
So I will take the criticism that looping all together is bad.

(79,302 posts)from the linked story:
Meanwhile, as Loughlin and her daughters are being dropped from projects and partnerships left and right, Target is making sure to put distance between itself and Giannulli. Mossimos budget menswear line had been a staple at Target stores from from 2000 until 2017, when the brand was phased out due to declining interest. The chain issued an official statement on Thursday to the effect of I dont know her.
We havent had a working relationship with Mossimo Giannulli in over a decade and we no longer carry any Mossimo branded products at Target, the company said in a statement.
That has got to sting, but is also the least of the couples worries at this point.
mr_lebowski
(33,643 posts)Prior to being sold at Target, Mossimo was considered relatively high-end and trendy ... now everyone knows it as 'Target' and it's not remotely cool anymore. Not surprising it got dumped from Target. Next stop: Walmart (if it not already there).
That move was about like if Lucky Brand decided to put their stuff into Target. Might be good for short term profit but it'll kill off the value of the brand entirely.
That move is the opposite of, say, Quiksilver, another 'beach attire' outfitter who've never sold out, never gone cheap on quality, and have maintained their status on the scene for 50 years now. Hell they have 'Pro' men's surfing shorts that go for $300/pair. You can't pull that off without being seen as 'Quality'.
Cha
(297,723 posts)Lori. Goin on about how pious she is when the whole time she cheated by bribing to get her daughters into USC. And, apparently they weren't even that interested in being there.
All because she and hub's greed wanted the prestige and now they're crash and burning in humiliation. Fair dinkum.
trump is a nasty vile poshite.. and his fans' have blood on their hands.
Fucking trump supporter

It is very hard to get into though, as it is a funnel into many corridors of wealth. I could have went there and passed.

(26,142 posts)USC = University of Spoiled Children
That rep is unfair to the many kids who go there who aren't like that, and it is less like that than it used to be, but the rep isn't wrong. For certain folks in certain circles in SOCAL and NORCAL, going to USC/having your kids go there gives them a certain social status.
Loughlin is getting the bulk of the attention, but the rest of the list is full of this circle of folks.
