Lori Loughlin has committed career suicide with college admissions scandal
NY Post ^ | March 13, 2019 | Michael Starr

Lori Loughlin has just committed career suicide.

Her alleged involvement in the seamy Varsity Blues college admissions criminal scandal has forever tarnished her reputation as the folksy face of Hallmark Channel and its vanilla-sweet TV movie franchises “When Calls the Heart” and “Garage Sale Mystery.”

She’s been a cash cow for the cable network with her top-rated movies, but she’s on notice now. Don’t be shocked when Hallmark Channel casts her aside, dealing a death blow to Loughlin’s career.

Her fall from grace sounds like the plot of a weepy Hallmark Channel movie that no one would believe, but it’s all too real. In her fictional, TV alter-ego universe, Loughlin bounces back, stronger than ever and ready to take on the world.

In reality? That won’t happen.

My wife does a lot of Hallmark movie watching. She loves the Garage Sale Mysteries with Lori Loughlin (but she can't stand "When Calls the Heart"). If they keep making them with Lori Loughlin, my wife will keep watching them. She will be upset if they can her over this.

I think the author is being a tad hyperbolic. It's not a particularly heinous crime Loughlin is accused of. I think most people assumed this payola crap has been going on and are not all that shocked.

that’s what I hope will happen - heads of schools or whomever was part or looked the other way in allowing this should all be out of jobs and all pension or benefits severed too.

I often wonder how any hollyweird type could have any true genuine friends. How would you even know if they are sincere or truthful.

I suspect this story will be on Hallmark’s fall lineup without her playing the part. Maybe get Miley Cyrus to play the part.

Lori Loughlin knows how to twerk? :0)

I heard Lori is a Republican and Felicity is a Democrat so it will be interesting to see how equal justice works in this country. Lori will get 20 years and Felicity will no doubt get a seat in Congress.

“And crew scholarship or not, she likely would have flunked out soon enough, or had to transfer out.”

Was Loughlin’s daughter the one that was spending spring break on a “university official’s” yacht cruising the Bahamas? Looks like she may have found a way to finish her schoolong.

If Lori is guilty of anything, it’s really bad judgment in remotely thinking her daughter was anything close to college material!

And, hopefully someone in the group has the thumbdrive with all the payment amounts or video of the envelopes being passed under the table.

Amazing how the Dem’s project all things “corrupt” on the Right, but they are some of the most corrupt, evil and selfish people on the planet.

Agree. People expect actors to do stupid stuff.

She’ll have to get permission to travel to Canada though as that’s where the films are made.

I suspect that most people wouldn’t connect her in these roles with the scandal and would probably keep watching. Other than news junkies, most people will forget about this fairly quickly unless she end’s up spending some time in the graybar hotel.

Lifetime is all about the put upon woman.

They’ll twist it into the Lori Laughlin victim movie.

I'd watch that.

She’s been a cash cow...

They talking about michelle or oprah?

They didn't say "she's a cow made out of cash."

Agreed. In all likelihood she knew her daughters couldn’t get into college without some help and heard about this scam from some other Hollywood type. She probably figured it was no different than what other rich people have done in the past for their kids and just went along with it.

Not condoning her actions, but as a parent I can see how she may have wanted to help her kids get a better life than being a YouTube “star”.
