Looks like Loughlin won't be appearing in any projects for Hallmark, and now 'Fuller House' has dropped her from Season Five, according to sources at the network. Loughlin was a guest starring character on the first four seasons, but once season five starts, she will not be coming back.
shareRidiculous!
She hasn't killed or abused anyone.
And it's not as if Hollywood is holier-than-thou.
She committed a federal crime, and the network wants nothing to do with her. Why is that ridiculous?
sharePeople who live in glasshouses...
It makes me laugh. I've never committed a crime in my life. I try to live as ethnical a lifestyle as possible. But I am willing to forgive everyone, including those who have committed much worse offences than cheating on behalf of their kids' college admission.
It makes me wonder if all this sanctimony and condemnation is from genuinely moral people, or from people who have something to hide, and are attacking others in order to obfuscate their own flaws (bear in mind that your favourites, 😉, Trump and Trump Junior, have taken to Twitter to mock Loughlin, Huffman and the others caught out in this scandal, as if their own academic records are beyond reproach...)
Genuinely moral people focus on being the best they can be. They don't poke their noses into other people's failings.

Nah, I believe in working on one's own morality. Being the best one can be, and then leading by example, rather than the whole 'do as I say, not as I do' approach favoured by many celebrities and politicians.
I'm a vegan, I don't drive, I cut down on my carbon footprint, I boycott companies like Amazon, I volunteer and campaign for various progressive organisations, I advocate against misogyny and all forms of racial/ethnic bigotry, and I never cheat or exploit the system whether in my personal or professional life, but I appreciate that this way of life is not for everyone. To be a truly good person takes sacrifice (God, speaking figuratively, knows I know). One is rarely, if ever rewarded.
Like I say, that lifestyle is not for everyone, and I don't begrudge those who march to a different beat. That's their prerogative. It would be arrogant and sanctimonious of me to suggest that they should live as I do.
Human-beings are, after all, weak. We are prone to making mistakes. And so it is only fair that we forgive one another for those mistakes.
😆
shareHmmm really
shareJust like every other professionally bonded and insured corporate entity, all employees are bound to a behavior clause in their jobs. If you've ever worked even in the most mundane of employment flipping hamburgers your employer had an ethical/behavior clause that you signed before you accepted the job.
shareExactly. She knew what she was signing when she contracted with them. If she didn't read the contract, I hope her lawyer or agent did...and went over it with her.
shareFelony RICO charges is definitely a firable offense. Defrauding the government is a serious issue.
How did she defraud the government?
shareLoughlin, of “Full House” fame, and Huffman, whose credits include the hit ABC show “Desperate Housewives,” are charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services fraud. According to court records, Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, the creator of clothing brand Mossimo, “agreed to pay bribes totaling $500,000 in exchange for having their two daughters designated as recruits to the USC crew team” even though they did not participate in crew.share
I ask again, how did she defraud the government?
shareThe US mail is run by the US government. She's charged with 'honest service mail fraud'.
shareMail fraud does not automatically equate to defrauding the government. Definitely not in this case. The government was not defrauded. Further, the USPS is part of the government, but not run by the government. USPS employees are not federal government employees.
shareIn the United States, mail and wire fraud is any fraudulent scheme to intentionally deprive another of property or honest services via mail or wire communication. It has been a federal crime in the United States since 1872. Wikipedia
None of what you typed has anything to do with defrauding the government. Yes mail fraud is a federal crime. That doesn't mean the government was defrauded. She defrauded USC. And maybe the charity.

Fifty people, including Full House actress Lori Loughlin a.k.a. Aunt Becky and actress Felicity Huffman, are facing federal RICO charges for allegedly participating in an elaborate bribery scheme to get their children into elite universities.share
LOL. SOOOOoo true. Hollywood is the opposite of "holier-than-thou". It is a sick perverted place.
sharesure, TimMC
And only "Hollywood" has sick twisted perverted behavior. That's why I read about all the perverted crimes committed from all over the country and every state, but it feels safe to scapegoat Hollywood (meaning "Los Angeles") And those who target Hollywood usually have never visited or lived here.
jesus poor lady they are treating her like she was a kid diddler or something else horrible. am i the only one who thinks this isnt a big deal?
If you're looking at it through her various employer's eyes, who signed contracts with her, then it is a big deal.
sharei never watched that dumb show but it cant be a good business move to kick her off
shareIf you've never watched Full House, how can you say it can't be a good business move? Full House is exactly the kind of show that would kick her out for this exact type of cheating lol. She was only in a few episodes of Fuller House but she really doesn't fit in with the image of the show anymore.
shareI agree Borat.
Welcome to the Outrage Culture. Where everyone is a saint, and everyone else is an immoral scumbag.
Sadly, for all our talk of progressive and socially conscious values, we've simply become a much less tolerant and forgiving society. The New Puritanism hasn't made us kinder better people. It's turned us into sanctimonious punitive jerks.
No, you're not the only one who feels everyone is blowing this way out of proportion. She was wrong, but the way she's being crucified is sickening. Completely disproportionate. Jussie Smollet isn't even getting this level of hate, and he deserves much worse.
shareyea that douchenozzle was trying to start a race war lol, all Lori was doing was trying help out her daughter
shareHelp out her daughter who didn't like school and didn't want to attend college in the first place? Really?
Sounds more like Loughlin was trying to help her own personal status in elite social circles.
who cares if her daughter didnt like school? i didnt want to attend college either but i went because my dad was paying and it was the "thing" to do back then. school is mostly a scam these days unless u are going for a doctor degree or something science or engineering related. her daughter is cool as fuck doing her own thing on youtube and stuff she doesnt even need school she gonna be fine with or without that useless degree
shareSo why didn't her daughter say "NO" in the first place, and find her fame and fortune as a YouTube star. Loughlin would have saved $500,000, someone more deserving would have filled that vacant spot, and Loughlin would not be an unemployed federal criminal today?
I honestly would have more empathy for Loughlin today IF she was actually doing this for her child who desperately wanted an education from that school, than the fact that she was doing it for herself and her own social status with her elite circle of friends.
Life is full of choices - choose well, and you get ahead. Choose poorly and it catches up to you.
Its not that bad of a crime. its a sick world when u can diddle a kid and get off easier than just making a simple bribe
shareThe standards of law is not solely measured by 'diddling' kids.
How nice your dad paid for your education, but did you learn what a crime is in college? School is not a "scam", since you need that degree to obtain certain high=paying or prestigious jobs. But, I agree: attending college doesn't make you smart.
Netflix should at least wait until she's convicted. It's still innocent until proven guilty the last time I checked.
If a network like FOX can let that Jussie Smollett guy back after sixteen felony charges to record a few more episodes of "Empire", then at least Lori should be able to appear in the series finale of "Fuller House". Give the fans some closure to the Aunt Becky character that we've known since 1988.
Oh well, perhaps there was actually something in her contract stating no arrests. Can't really do anything about that.
FOX DID NOT let Smollett back after sixteen felony charges to record a few more episodes of EMPIRE. They did just the opposite. They rewrote the storylines for the final episodes and wrote him off the show. It's unclear what his status will be next season (if the show is renewed). Keep in mind, he maintains his innocence and has not been proven guilty, either.
And yes, her contract probably has a 'zero tolerance policy' concerning any arrests for any felonies. Therefore, the network exercised their rights.
Didn't they already finish filming season five before all this broke?
