“Couple [weeks] ago I got into it … 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.’ He embarrassed Scandal Mom again,” tweeted lefty Arnold.
Sources told Page Six that the “dad” in question was Mossimo Giannulli, the fashion designer husband of “Full House” star Lori Loughlin. We’re told that the argument with Arnold went down at Steve Tisch’s 70th birthday party at the Hollywood Palladium last month.
A spy seconded Arnold’s account, telling Page Six, “Mossimo was talking about how he agrees with Trump, and that people need to carry their own weight. He was saying there’s a lot of ‘takers’ out there and entitled people.”
Well, she's all-time best buds/co-stars with famous conservative Candace Cameron. That we and our dogs know is true.(Both very pretty and great entertainers---incidentally, ever seen Robin Williams and John Travolta's 2009 OLD DOGS, where Lori was a co -star? Just remembered, funny thing she was IN prison in that film in character..)
Well, Hollywood has its fair share of greedy, stupid, mean, worthless excuses for human beings, too. After all, a 35% base of miscreants probably has a wide variety of occupations.
She’s also a huge Habitat for Humanity supporter. Point being, I don’t care if she likes Trump or not. It’s irrelevant to me. What she did sucked, though. So sick of this priveleged/money bullishit.
No fight, just wanted to be sure you weren't sarcastic. It's just that your response to the OP did not seem to fit with your response to me. There has been speculation elsewhere that she's a Republican, though. She seems to be Catholic.
I don't know if her career's over for good if she's revealed to be a Trump supporter, but I don't think it will help.
As an aside, it's odd that Catholicism is now a strong indicator of GOP support in the US when in the past it was often a guarantee of Democratic Party support (Chicago's staunch Democratic stronghold is based in the Irish-Catholic community). It's also strange when one notes that in South America, and parts of Europe, the Catholic Church is predominantly associated with left-wing politics.
But just to be clear, I wasn't being sarcastic. I am a staunch lefty, but I believe in fairness. I personally don't care for double-standards. If someone is an open racist, homophobe or misogynist, that is one thing. But I don't like to see actors blacklisted simply for supporting Trump, however vile I may consider his politics.
Maybe Huffman and Macy could get out of this by saying that they were stupid parents who wanted their kids to succeed and prosper without knowing that their parents had a hand in it. And at least their daughter seems to be a decent human being.
Meanwhile, Lori Loughlin seems to be catching more heat because of the entitlement of it all, the ungratefulness Olivia Jade, the utter the hypocrisy of Lori Laughlin and her supposed Christian values, etc.
'Christian values'? That's an interesting avenue for attacking someone. In other words, because Laughlin is a Christian she is fairer game than atheists/secularists. Wow! Imagine if we applied that standard to Muslims or Jews.
Also, how is Olivia Jade an 'indecent human being'? Because she doesn't study and likes to enjoy herself? Wow! I thought I was a big snob when it came to studying and academic application, but clearly I was wrong.
Don't twist what I said around. Lori Loughlin isn't being attack directly because she's may be a Christian. It's because up until this scandal broke, she had a decidedly wholesome, clean cut image. I mean, she was after-all on of the faces of the Hallmark channel.
And as for Lori's daughter, on the surface, she comes across as a spoiled, airhead. I mean, the girl after-all, once had a game show rigged in her favor. In effect, she just comes across as a willing pawn in this whole mess. Also, Olivia Jade once said on record that her dad lied to his parents and BSed his way through school. This was while he used the money they gave him to pay for school to start a business. That's why most people aren't as sympathetic (or willing to let her off the hook) towards her than maybe they would with Huffman and Macy's daughter.
Still, Olivia Jade is a real person. It seems cruel to pick on her for being a 'spoiled airhead'. If we're going to laugh at and demean anyone, particularly for being a 'spoiled airhead', shouldn't we start with fictional characters, rather than real people, with real feelings that are susceptible to being hurt?
I'm not entirely comfortable with the excuse of "well she's a kid" therefore she should be let off the hook. It's easy to argue that Olivia Jade with her YouTube channel and sponsorship is technically, like her mom, a public figure.
Firstly, why should anyone trust anything Tom Arnold says? What does he know?
Secondly, Lipstick Alley? Really? That's just a forum for a bunch of prejudicial fools quick to jump to conclusions. They're the flip side of the white right-wing idiots on 4chen and similar alt-right sites.
And thirdly, next you'll be telling us that Felicity Huffman and William H Macy are Trumpers.
Tom Arnold was tight with Trump in the past though he's turned on him since he won the presidency. He attended the 2013 Miss Universe pageant Trump threw in Moscow. Firmly implanted as part of that Hollywood C-list hangers-on crowd he'd be well positioned to know.
Tom Arnold seems like a whiny has-been with an axe to grind.
Why should we take anything he says at face-value?
Just because he says someone is a Trump-supporter it doesn't mean I should take it as read.
Also, Trump only stood as a candidate for POTUS in 2015. What has 2013 got to do with anything? How was anyone a Trump for President supporter back then when there was no Trump for President campaign?
Finally, who gives a fuck? Even if Loughlin is a Republican, what does it matter? Are you guys pretending that there weren't any liberals embroiled in this college admissions scandal?
I'm not asking you to give a fuck. I'm just amused you're getting so worked up about it.
I just brought up Moscow to point out he was Trump's pal in the past so would be positioned to know. 2013 matters because that was when he discussed his plans with Putin in Moscow to run for president according to Trump's own words at the National Press Club speech a year later. This was backed up by Tom Arnold saying he witnessed the speakerphone call between them at the Ritz with NBC executive Chuck LaBella in the room. I could care less if you believe him or not.
Am I the one losing my shit over Lori Loughlin? Or would that be the idiots at Lipstick Alley making such a big deal about one of several families embroiled in this minor-league scandal being possible Trump supporters on the say-so of a second-rate has-been with an axe to grind?
Does he have an axe to grind with Lori? Over what?
He always seemed like an ok and well meaning fellow to me. A bit of a doofus, but not a pathological liar who would deliberately smear Lori with the stench of Trump if it wasn't true.
I think he has an axe to grind against Trump. And so it makes sense to associate these acts with Trump supporters.
By the way, you'll see that I have argued in another thread against targeting and singling out vulnerable minorities for misdoing. Well, the same applies to those on the other side (i.e. privileged whites and Trump supporters). The college admission scandal has indicted several people, some of whom are libs, some of whom are cons, some of whom are Trump supporters (I distinguish Trump supporters from true conservatives, even though I don't particularly like either political position - Trump is more of a fascist than a classical conservative), so why single out the supposed Trump supporters here?
Also, I take your point about Tom Arnold. In some ways I like to believe you're right, and that as you say the guy is simply a doofus at worst (which admittedly makes him much more benign than a large swathe of Hollywood celebs). But even if he is, as you say, simply a well-meaning if bumbling fellow, I still don't take his word as read. If Lori Loughlin and her husband are Trump supporters, surely it's on them to say so, or it's for someone to give evidence, such as spotting them at a Trump fundraiser etcetera. Just because Arnold says they're Trump supporters, it doesn't necessarily make it so.
Of course there's no way to know for sure without hard evidence or admission from Lori. I just find him more believable than not since he doesn't strike me as the type to make up a smear about her. Plus if it was false, she could just call him out and the public (IMO) would more readily believe her and see him as a liar and character assassin trying to kick her while she's down. I just see no upside for him.
Most Trump supporters are proud of their political beliefs. I don't agree with the narrative that they're ashamed. If they were the type of people to feel shame I doubt they'd be inclined to support such a man.

This alliterate disgraced actress won't cut a deal because she thinks she did nothing wrong. Will be hilarious if her significant other cuts a deal and turns on her. Lori Loughlin/Mossimo Giannulli (Lori Loughlin appeared ‘arrogant’ in court while Felicity Huffman looked ‘more genuine,’ says sketch artist) (College cheating scandal dad Mossimo Giannulli heard blasting ‘entitled people’) (Who Is Mossimo Giannulli, Olivia Jade Giannulli's Father?)
And Felicity Huffman is a Democrat. So? What is your point?
Look up Jane Buckingham, by the way. She co-organised a Primary fundraiser with Will Farrell, for Democratic Party candidate Kristen Gillibrand. Jane Buckingham is also implicated in the college admissions scandal: "She was charged with paying $50,000 USD to Key Worldwide Foundation in exchange for a false proctor who took the ACT on her son's behalf, scoring a 35 out of 36, after Buckingham falsely claimed her son had a learning disability--for entrance to the University of Southern California." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Buckingham#Arrest
