So, we know that federal prosecutors have added additional charges for Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli, all part of the original scheme where they paid $500K to convince the USC admissions board that their daughters were master rowers … or smart. But, apparently Lori thinks if this mess goes to trial—she and her husband are one of the few involved in the scheme who have pled not guilty—she’ll get a Felicity Huffman Deal of eleven days in Easy Jail.
However, if Lori and Mossimo are convicted of everything, they face up to decades in prison. Now, no one thinks they would actually serve decades because … white and rich … but there could be serious fines and serious prison time … more than eleven days and less than eleven years.
But there’s more; prosecutors have emails between Mossimo and Rick Singer, leader of the scandal, where Rick tells Mossimo to get pictures of his daughters on a rowing machine to make it look legit. There is also evidence of payments and bribery, like an email between Mossimo and his accountant with an invoice for $200,000 saying:
“Good news my daughter … is in (U)SC… bad is I had to work the system.”
Oops. People magazine says Lori and Mossimo feel like this is “David versus Goliath” and that, wait for it, it’s rich and white … people excuse, that they are being scapegoated. Yeah, scapegoats. Lori has it all wrong; they might be made an ‘example’ by the feds to perhaps show people how not to get your kids into college, but a scapegoat is what Lori could use right now …
‘Look over there, it’s that guy’s fault.’
Take a seat Lori, you’ll handle prison just fine, but your Silver Fox husband might be the beauty of the cell block.

ReplyDeletesmelly garbage this week, bob.
ReplyDeleteand is that tuxedo posing for the banner photo?
I am having a hard time w the admission 'scandal' People have been giving thousands of dollars since the beginning of ivy league to get their kids into schools of choice. This is hardly new - let alone worth a government investigation.
ReplyDeleteAnother batch of....
ReplyDeletehmmm, 'interesting' people...
xoxoxox :-)
I would have thought a pic of the kids actually rowing on real water would have been more appropriate as evidence but then I did work at Crown Court!
ReplyDeleteOh Poodle, you are so right about Will and Grace, I've felt that way for years. As for the rest.. I just couldn't read about them because I don't care.

ReplyDeleteThat is The Great Tuxedo.
He had a vet visit yesterday and charmed the whole staff giving hugs to everyone!
@bob - what a good boy! I bet tux gives great hugs!
ReplyDeleteJeff who? He looks like he's had too many funny injections in his lips.
ReplyDeleteI think Sean might eventually settle for Black Pocket Comb... was that bad?...
Wasn't Miley married to a... Hemsworth? Maybe it was just one of those platonic things.
I see Kylie has one of the vacuum formed faces.
ReplyDeleteBob, I think your Halloween Header is fabulous!
But you totally bummed me about Karen and Grace - that breaks my heart, and I couldn't agree more about the name. Should have been Will and Karen or Jack and Karen!
Thank goodness for the original series. I never will forget sitting in my den with my mother who was visiting from Texas for Thanksgiving when an episode of Will and Grace came on. I didn't turn the channel. She never laughed, didn't even crack a smile. All she said was "the things they put on television these days."
Yes, and how thrilled I was to watch it every week!

ReplyDeleteA friend had the photo on her blog [She Who Seeks] and I fell in love with the cat so I stole it.
Sadly, there are times today when i see things on TV and wonder how, and why, they do it?
Old age? Cranky?Perhaps.But I still smile at Karen every time.
Obviously Megan Mulkaley is the star. I also like Sean Hayes.
ReplyDeleteWhen the show was first on, we used to say that the only problems with Will and Grace were Will and Grace. Karen and Jack would be a way better show.
