Nationwide College Cheating Scandal - Actresses, Business Owners Charged, Mar 2019 - #2

In this photo, she looks stressed. Note the way her fingers are clenched. No big smile here! (No way mean to take up for her.)

I bet she receives a phone call each morning briefing her on if and when she should smile in public or look stressed. I wish I was joking but PR people in Hollywood partake in frivolous details and image consulting for a living.

Remember she and her husband were pictured on a porch outside a friend’s home last week with the media going wild about them looking stressed out?

Maybe not until LL is sentence and fingers crossed gets some jail time, she'll realize she is not above the law. Just Maybe.
I agree it's her pr team.

I save every single payday in the hopes I can afford to send my kids to college. I have been saving for years and so far my 2 oldest (14,15) have 8k each and my youngest (6) only 2.2k. I do this through Edward jones and every pay day I have money deposited since they were born.

Look at what they need to do to get scholarships. Volunteering is good. And look at anything that is different such as your ethnic background, majors they may want, places you have worked.

<modsnip: unnecessary>

Go to the Daily Mail. Lori is the headline with an image of her looking like a soccer mom with CAPS “UP TO 40 YEARS! NEW CHARGES!”

Read the TOP voted comments. People are outraged that yoga soccer Mom Lori could be jailed longer than murderers and former Trump campaign members.

Lori’s PR team believes the public is stupid. They planted this in the DailyMail to curry favor in the public and are instructing her whereabouts and outfits. MOO

I do agree that the sentence is way too long considering what they got or child sex offenders, rapists, etc get

Lori Loughlin Rejected Plea Deal Before New Charges, Says Source: 'Not Seeing How Serious This Is'

Wow, if that is true, it was a colossal mistake. Usually once a plea offer is rejected it won't be offered again. Now with the enhanced charges, they could be looking at serious prison time.

“While waiting for this to come to some conclusion, she’s trying to keep a somewhat regular schedule — going to yoga and pilates and seeing friends for lunch,” the source said. “She is very faith-based, and she knows her faith will get her through this.”

“She’s holding up well, given the circumstances,” the insider added. “She has a strong very strong faith that is helping her immensely. She loves her husband and her children very much.”

Totally agree this "source" is her PR firm. Could this be any more self-serving and vom?? Riiiight. Just trying to keep a regular schedule. Faith and family, got it. I suppose the next "caught out in public" pictures will be of her walking out of church in her Sunday best, wearing mikimota pearls, an expensive gold or diamond cross necklace, and a Bible hanging out of her Hermes bag.

That was a weird photo. They looked like the cleaning help sitting outside on a break, sitting on the front steps of the house they are trying to sell for $35 million.

(And yeah, that house is NOT worth $35 million)

The fact the story has made it to People ( next edition coverphotos likely with perky-sad-faithful photo shots) says volumes about how flippantly they are allowing their image to be portrayed.

I’d say Huffman was much smarter than the Gianullis.

Huffman’s (IMO) PR team gave her better advice. She was pictured looking glum, unkempt hair, without make-up, and haggard walking down the street with her daughter.

“She’s holding up well, given the circumstances,” the insider added. “She has a strong very strong faith that is helping her immensely. She loves her husband and her children very much.”

Okay this baloney-speak about faith is making me mad. I have a very strong faith myself, and it's insulting. If she is so 'faith-based', why didn't she pray for her daughters to get into USC? Hrmph.

MOO

Conspiracy to launder money and laundering money is a serious financial crime. People typically serve some sort of jail time when they launder a large amount such as $500k. This was not a sentence because she has not yet been convicted of a crime.

If the reports are true and Olivia is not speaking to her Mom/Parents that would be enough to keep me from leaving my bed. There would be no yoga, no lunches out etc. etc. I would be beyond devastated at what I had done to my Daughters and the relationship. I would take whatever punishment the Court saw fit. It would be the least of my worries. Oh and the Faith thing !%#@*%! Me thinks Lori's behaviour is now a career ender. Maybe Prison time will be a humbling lesson.

Exactly.

If she truly was faith based she wouldn't have been capable of what she is charged with doing.

She is using this as only a PR stunt which is even more offensive. imo

I truly understand the disappointment and anger people feel towards those charged in this scheme. However, I think Singer should be “hit in the head with a two-by-four” for encouraging these people and setting this up.

 

[Bravo]

I think she is driving her own PR bus. Doing as she see's fit. Seems she likely didn't take her own Lawyers advice. Interesting her Husband is really laying low. Lower than his wife.

 

[cluciano63]

Wonder what the IRS might find on her taxes seems u likely they would be super clean.

You are having me laughing so hard. Lori needs to fire the people advising her. She’s making herself become a bigger face of the scandal.

 

[raja]

FH may not have claimed her "gift" to Singer on her taxes. You can give a gift to someone.

I read it was her husband that insisted ona private plane to fly them to Boston

 

[neesaki]

Its possible. But we will probably never know.

Well, Martha Stewart did. So, there is that.

People is reporting:
Lori Loughlin Rejected Plea Deal Before New Charges, Says Source: 'Not Seeing How Serious This Is'
"But Loughlin and her husband, fashion designer J. Mossimo Giannulli, have not entered pleas — and a source close to them tells PEOPLE that they have resisted any agreements that would result in jail time. Under federal guidelines, both of them would have gotten between 18-24 months in jail under a plea agreement.

“They weren’t ready to accept that,” says the source, who is familiar with the legal discussions in the case. “They’re really not seeing how serious this is.”
On Tuesday, things got worse for Loughlin and Giannulli, who were each hit with money laundering charges. They now face up to 20 years in prison for each charge.
“They were offered the carrot and the stick,” the source tells PEOPLE. “The carrot was that this can all go away and you can serve your time and put it behind you. Remember, they were facing 20 years, even before the latest charges. The stick was that [the prosecution] would and could pile on more serious charges.”

Does it sound like one of the attorneys are talking to the media? Source is said to be "familiar with the legal discussions in the case".

If I were Lori, I'd be pooping my pants scared everyday and wouldn't be able to make it out of bed. Maybe that's why we don't see her husband walking around... The judge will not like this entitled, delusional Hollywood star behavior...
