Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli have been pushed out of the exclusive Bel-Air Country Club — where top members were enraged their recent federal guilty pleas turned the establishment into a “place of refuge and comfort for known felons.”
The couple quit the club this month, TMZ reported, weeks after pleading guilty to bribing their daughters’ ways into the University of Southern California as part of a national college admissions scandal involving dozens of rich parents.
Their stepping down came amid a battle among members about how to handle the high-profile pair.
While the club’s Board of Directors unanimously voted to suspend the Loughlin-Giannullis, some members were incensed they weren’t kicked out indefinitely.
At least one prominent member, former Board President Michael Gallager, said he was resigning over the decision in a fiery letter, TMZ reported.
“BACC is a Club of gentlemen and gentlewomen. Gentlemen are not felons, and felons in turn are not gentlemen. You cannot be a member in good standing and guilty of a felony at the same time, it is a non sequitur,” Gallagher wrote.
He went on: “The board action, taken on behalf of the Club’s membership, now establishes our Club as a place of refuge and comfort for known felons . . . This matter is already well known in the golfing world, domestically and internationally, and our Club has become a laughingstock.”

They’re only upset because they got caught. The members probably don’t want them around because they remind them of all the things they’ve done and that their bill is coming due.
I hope the Black members take a stand...
The thing is, USC isn’t that hard to get in to.
The club sounds like a bunch of pompous aholes.
that’s just it
these two were convicted
the other still in the club haven’t been convicted
Their membership slots should now be offered to black people. Now is the time to bring more diversity to Bel Air. Latinex make up 35% of the population of Califirnia what percent of the club is Latinex? Blacks make up about 15% of the state. How many Black members are there?
And to show Black Lives Matter, Blacks should be exempt from membership fees and annual membership dues.
What a stinking pile of minutes-old fecal matter this club and it’s hypocritical members are...
Haven’t really been following this too closely, but which college officials have been charged and tried? Wasn’t this activity exposed by a third party?
And to show Black Lives Matter, Blacks should be exempt from membership fees and annual membership dues.

(If) and when asked, she should say she heard her spot was going to be filled by....etc etc etc...
Then she should ask if ANYONE that had put in a scoreboard or sodded an athletic field or built a building is also going to be removed.
All they did was cut out the middle man.
BTW have they went after the RECIPIENTS of the ‘bribe’ and at least ‘destroy’ their lives.
It does take 2 to tango
"Nobody wants to buy your drugs, Louis!"
Gotta be quicker on the draw.
My guess they were terrible parents, the kid never studied, if she went to school at all (instead focusing on her social-media influencing) and did terrible on the SAT, thus making even USC hard to get into….
When are they going to do the same to politicians?
Les Moonves is a member of Bel-Air CC.
Did they kick him out?
I see that! Heh. I even scanned the thread first, surprised that you hadn’t posted an image already.
Then I spent too much time browsing.
