Wow Lori Laughlin has NO shame!

If Reese had committed this crime, people would be going nuts about it. But she likely would have had the good sense to at least act remorseful and not treat a court appearance as a self-aggrandizing glamour shot.

Yeah... LL didn’t hurt anyone. It’s pretty victimless.

Her kids stole spots that would otherwise have gone to students who actually merited admission. I don't consider that victimless. It also negatively affects the school's reputation. HYP won't suffer, but the stigma might attach to USC for some time.

These spots were for sale. If these ladies had not bought them, I'm sure some one else would have. So, no, I don't think they took a spot from someone more deserving.

She's a nasty bully.

How do we know that?

In the legal docs.

Wow, I didn’t see that; it wasn’t publicized. I just read that the guidance counselor brought up her concerns, but the matter was resolved.

Yeah, what little sympathy I had for her evaporated when I read what the husband said to the guidance counselor. They knew what they were doing was wrong and already almost got caught a few times.

What did he say to the guidance counselor?

Here's a few passages from the article.
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/04/what-college-admissions-scandal-reveals/586468/

There are several instances of college counselors gumming up the works with their small-timers’ insistence on ethical behavior. That someone as lowly, as contemptibly puny, as a guidance counselor should interfere with a rich person’s desires is the cause of electric rage. For this reason, after having read the 200-page affidavit many times and trying to be as objective as possible, I had to conclude that the uncontested winners of Worst People (So Far) to Be Indicted are Lori Loughlin, an actress, and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, a designer. When a college counselor at their daughter’s high school realized something was suspicious about her admission to USC and asked the girl about it, the parents roared onto campus in such a rage that they almost blew up the whole scam.
But the college counselor at the girls’ high school had always doubted that the first girl rowed crew; when the second one got into the same school for the same reason, she realized that something suspicious was going on. She confronted the girl.
The counselor was acting honorably. Loughlin and Giannulli—if the affidavit is to be believed—were in the midst of a criminal operation. Yet instead of hanging his head in shame, Giannulli apparently roared onto the high-school campus apoplectic. Singer got a panicked email from his USC contact: “I just want to make sure that, you know, I don’t want the … parents getting angry and creating any type of disturbance at the school … I just don’t want anybody going into … [the daughter’s high school] you know, yelling at counselors. That’ll shut everything—that’ll shut everything down.”
It’s hell on Earth for college counselors when people like this show up angry that their kid didn’t get an acceptance from Williams. But to endure it because you’ve gotten in the way of a giant scam? Hideous.

Agree.

Look, everyone involved is detestable. Everyone.

No one gets a pass.

Disagree. You have no way of knowing that those spots wouldn't have gone to a kid who actually deserved to be there. And if they had done the normal rich parent thing and donated their $500K to the university instead of paying to falsify records, the university could have paid for more buildings, or financial aid, or something that might have benefited the students.

And it still would have been WRONG to buy them.

I think this thread does a pretty good job showing the wide range of public opinion on this. The fact that enough people feel this isn’t anything overly scandalous is a good indicator of how her reputation will play out after.

You may hate what she did and who she really is, but America in general will love building her back up just as drastically as we tore her down.

I think she has done a good job of tearing herself down. She's gross, as is her husband.

I agree. She's managed to cook her own goose quite nicely. She is done, done, done. 54 is not an easy age for any actress in Hollywood. Her success was dependent on her clean image and now that image is totally shot. I've actually never really liked her, something about her has always come off as super phony to me. It's one thing to be a sweet person from the heart and quite another to be a devious angler who acts sweet.
