John Stamos has backed his former co-star on the ‘Full House’ Lori Loughlin in the aftermath of her college admissions saga.
John Stamos Backs Lori Loughlin Following Her College Admission Scandal-‘She Went To F—king Jail Man’
Lori, for her part, did not do herself any favours when she was accused of paying bribes alongside her husband Mossimo Giannulli. It was alleged that they had paid $500,000 in order to get their daughters, Olivia and Bella, to attend the University of Southern California.
It is not surprising that the pair were indicted and pleaded guilty to the charges. While that may have been the case, it seems that John is looking past that now. In his comments, he said: “She also paid a lot of money. She set up a college fund for kids and she went to f—king jail man.”
Those comments do hold some credence. Lori had gone to jail and served her time, which would suggest that she should be given an opportunity to rehabilitate herself. After all, it is only for so long that she can be held accountable for this.
Secondly, John suggested that Lori may have been out of her depth, even if she was involved in wrongdoing. His following comments confirmed as much: “I am going to say this, and she said I could. She wasn’t really the architect of any of it — she was in the way background.
“She didn’t know what was going on.” The fans on social media praise John for his warm words. This was on the grounds that it could have been easy for him to jump on the bandwagon and condemn her.
But by not doing so, it showed that there was a genuine friendship. One person wrote: “I’m glad she’s had [a] great friend, defends her and I wish [I] have some like him on my side.”
John clearly knows Lori well, which is why he is unfazed by the background noise that may be emerging. So there you have it folks. What did you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
