As felon, Lori Loughlin faces new penalties: loss of country club, voting rights

Nearly a month after pleading guilty in the college admissions scandal, Lori Loughlin is facing new “collateral consequences” of having a felony conviction. They include the loss of her beloved country club membership and, possibly, the ability to vote in the Nov. 3 presidential election.

This is even before her she learns Aug. 21 whether she’s going to prison and for how long.

Right after Loughlin, 55, and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, 56, were charged in the college admissions the TV star lost acting work, playing wholesome Aunt Becky in a “Full House” reboot and being featured on the Hallmark Channel. Loughlin has since been dumped by friends who have “been very critical” about her actions, People reported.

The social backlash continues with People and TMZ reporting that Loughlin and Giannulli resigned from the exclusive Bel-Air Country Club, where they had been long-time members. Their mansion looks out over the club’s golf course.

Sell the mansion, & after time is served they'll have another mansion in another country.

They seek justice from anybody but the actual powers that be who are actually making their lives harder while dangling lesser “evils” like so much red meat. For those reasons, I see this whole story as a nothing berder.

I get your point, they are a distraction of sorts, but it is fun to see them squirm. I only wish they were fined a million dollars a year for life to provide scholarships for poor students as part of the sentence.

They paid a fixer $500,000 and got caught and then plead innocent, was found guilty and is now awaiting a sentence of some length.

Felicity Huffman, otoh, also got caught but she bit the bullet, admitted guilt, served only eleven days and got it behind her. Plus she only paid the fixer $15,000 in the first place.
