Uni cheating: 90210’s Lori Loughlin turns herself into FBI
Shit's goin' down in Hollywood.
The largest college cheating scam in US history continues.
Desperate Housewives' star Felicity Huffman and her husband William H. Macy were taken to court where Felicity was charged with federal mail fraud.
Now star of Full House and later the 90210 reboot, Lori Loughlin has turned herself in to the FBI nad set her release bond at 1 million dollars.
The 54-year-old is mum to two daughters – 20-year-old Isabella Rose and 19-year-old Olivia Jade, with her husband Mossimo Gianulli.
Lori Loughlin turned herself into authorities on Wednesday and has been set a $1million (£751,365) release bond by a judge. Loughlin is one of up to 40 influential figures who have been charged in connection with alleged payments of up to $6 million used to get children into schools including Yale, Stanford, Georgetown and USC. Both she and her husband Mossimo Giannulli were indicted for their alleged involvement in the college admissions scam. Giannulli was arrested on Tuesday morning and taken into custody. He was later released after being set a $1million bond and forced to surrender his passport. Lori hadn’t been arrested as she had been in Vancouver, Canada working.

Lori and Mossimo allegedly agreed to pay bribes totalling $500,000 to get their two daughters onto the USC crew team.
Mossimo was arrested this week and taken into custody while Lori hadn’t been arrested as she had been in Vancouver, working.
Lori then surrendered herself to teh FBI, set a $1million bond and ‘put her home up as collateral’ to secure the bond.
Lori reportedly can honour her working commitments with the Hallmark Channel in Vancouver, but she has to surrender her passport in December once her contracted work has come to an end.
Does anyone think the payoffs for the stupid rich kids stopped with getting them accepted to a college?
Does anyone think they actually go to class, do the work and take the exams the same as everyone else?
If they were too stupid to get in……@USC#LoriLoughlin@FelicityHuffman— Rachel Ward (@RachelWard301) 14 March 2019
Lori has since deleted all of her social media accounts and is expected to appear in court alongside Mossimo and Felicity on March 29.
The scam centres around a Californian man running a business helping students to get into their chosen college by paying off exam administrators or sports coaches.
In most cases, students reportedly had no knowledge of the scam or their parents’ involvement.
Lori's younger daughter, Olivia Jade, was reportedly on a USC yacht when the news broke and social media are NOT happy with her.
One said, ''Thanks for taking space in college to do nothing.''
While another wrote, ''How about giving up your space in College for someone that's working hard to get in? And while you're at it ask your Mom to help pay for the kids that can't afford it!!''
Stay tuned for whatever the hell is gonna happen next.
