“Full House” star Lori Loughlin and her fashion designer husband, Mossimo Giannulli, are keeping silent as they await sentencing in the college admissions bribery case.
FILE - In this April 3, 2019 file photo, actress Lori Loughlin, front, and husband, clothing designer Mossimo Giannulli, left, depart federal court in Boston after facing charges in a nationwide college admissions bribery scandal. The famous couple pleaded guilty to charges in May 2020, and are scheduled to be sentenced on Friday, Aug. 21, 2020.
Loughlin, who gained fame for her role as the wholesome Aunt Becky in the sitcom that ran from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s, and Giannulli have not made any public statements since they were charged with paying half a million dollars to get their daughters into the University of Southern California — or surprisingly decided to plead guilty despite their lawyers’ repeated claims that they were innocent.
Unlike most plea agreements, in which the judge remains free to decide the defendant’s sentence, Loughlin and Giannulli’s proposed prison terms are binding if the judge accepts the deals. Before she was sentenced, Huffman filed a lengthy letter to the judge describing how she “deceived the educational community,” “betrayed” her daughter and “failed” her family. Her husband, actor William H. Macy, and her “Desperate Housewives” co-star Eva Longoria alsoLoughlin and Giannulli have taken a decidedly different path. In her first appearance in Boston after her arrest, Loughlin smiled for the cameras, waved at fans outside the courthouse and shook hands with prosecutors inside.
