Are Lori Loughlin, Felicity Huffman Still Cashing In On College Admissions Scandal Involvement?
Are Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman selling their stories in relation to the massive college admissions scandal that they were both involved in? Could they be cashing in on a supposedly unethical behavior? The truth is revealed.
Last spring, the two known actresses, Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin, made headlines for the wrong reasons. They were both found involved in a nationwide college bribery scandal, with Huffman ultimately pleading guilty and serving her sentence immediately. Loughlin, however, is standing strong on her refusal to plead guilty. Her case will be heard soon.
Even though their involvement was scandalous already on its own, tabloids cannot help but make more stories about the two of them. One of these stories is that they are planning to turn their public shame into profits, which was started by Star.
According to Star, multiple television networks have offered Huffman to tell her story. At the time, Huffman was yet to plead guilty. The source claimed that it was an opportunity that Huffman will find hard to resist because she can both clear her name and make a fortune. But Huffman’s reup claimed that no such thing has have happened or will happen, Gossip Cop claimed.
On the other hand, according to RadarOnline, Loughlin reportedly demanded big money about a tell-all in her time in prison. This is now quickly debunked since she has not received a sentence yet. The actress refuses to plead guilty, and her trial will start only by October
Ok Magazine tried the same storyline with Huffman but Gossip Cop claimed that after serving 14 days only in prison for her involvement in the scandal, it is impossible that there would be anyone who would pay millions to turn that into a show. Huffman’s rep also said it is, as the first story, untrue.
What is real is that Loughlin is presently seeking for the dismissal of the college bribery case because of government misconduct. FBI reportedly pressured the ringleader of the bribery case, the Rick Singer to lie about Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Ginannulli’s knowledge about the bribery going on within his organization. Singer’s lawyers revealed documents that showed feds gave instruction on how the client should be lying. Given that, Loughlin’s camp is seeking for the current case to be thrown out. Singer’s notes indicate that FBI agents yelled at him and instructed him to lie by saying that he told his clients who participated in the alleged ‘side door’ scheme that their payments were bribes, rather than legitimate donations that went to the schools,” the filing read.
The case is however, still on. If Loughlin and her husband were to found guilty after the trial proceeded, they could face up to 50 years behind bars as well as millions of dollars worth in fines.
