Tensions rise in Lori Loughlin’s marriage after admissions scandal

Tensions have arisen in Lori Loughlin’s marriage to Mossimo Giannulli as the couple face potentially 40 years in prison for their role in the uni bribe scandal.

The Loughlin-Giannulli house is full of mixed emotions after the college admissions scandal.

While Full House star Lori Loughlin’s daughter Olivia Jade Giannulli partied last week with friends, her parents are feuding as reality sets in about the gravity of their federal wire fraud and money laundering charges.

“Lori is constantly arguing with Mossimo because she is beginning to grasp that they are in very serious jeopardy,” a source told Us Weekly.

The New York Post reported that Loughlin and her designer husband Mossimo Giannulli are charged with paying $US500,000 ($A700,000) to have Olivia Jade and her sister, Isabella Rose Giannulli, 20, admitted into the University of Southern California as fake crew recruits.

If convicted, they could face 40 years in prison.

Back home, Loughlin’s inner circle pins the scandal on Giannulli.

“Everyone feels bad for her. They think the situation was something concocted by her husband,” a second Us Weekly source said. “Her friends don’t like him.”

The couple pleaded not guilty.
