You're really crass. She had a makeup line and she'll be able to build a new brand in a few years. You're not really the target audience, so it doesn't matter what you think about her looks or intelligence. There are plenty of celebrities who are both famous and untalented, especially the children of celebrities. You can trash these families, but the game is rigged for them to win. |
| I don't think we know LL. I think we know her characters and they are all kinda wholesome and dim so we think we "get her". I think her husband built a pretty successful brand and them as a couple can afford pretty good counsel. Its hard to totally right her off as having no strategy. I think it was time for FH to "tap out" but she was dealing with a different case that involved just her. LL and MG have bigger issues and I think its dim of us to assume they have NO idea what they are doing. I am sure their team has a course they have chosen to go down. In fact I bet LL herself is not the captain of this ship. |
I’m not trashing them - I think a lot of them are business savvy and talented as hell in making their brand work for them. Paris Hilton was a heiress who managed to parlay her reality fame into $400 million. That takes skill. I don’t think Olivia with her one makeup mini palette counts as a line btw. Carry on. |
write*** ahhh forgive me! |
How do you think she got her mini palette on the market? Not because she's some sort of makeup genius. It's because she comes from a very wealthy and well-connected family. Just like your friend Paris Hilton, who did not parlay her reality fame into a fortune. She parlayed a fortune into an even bigger fortune. The reality show was her vehicle. It doesn't take that much skill, it just takes a lot of cash, connections, and a little bit of name recognition. This is why the LL and her daughter will be even more famous down the road. They have so much money, they can't really fail. It's a terrible system! |
Laughlin and her husband know what it takes to make it in their fields. I don't think they had faith that either one of their daughters has what it takes to be a star in the industry. Olivia Jade's success on Youtube was due to her looks and the fact that she came from a wealthy family. But vapid party girl will only get you so far in life. She maybe had a few years left before another pretty girl, maybe from an even better connected family, took away her followers. By the time Olivia Jade graduated (haha) from college she would have had her 5 minutes of fame and then she would have had to find a cushy job somewhere in the fashion industry where she "worked" while on vacay. |
| this whole thread makes me sad because I bet the same people who think this isn't that bad will also be the ones telling poor people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps |

I think people are forgetting that this is not the state pressing charges but the FEDs. The FEDs has something like a 90% prosecution rate, The FEDs also no longer commute sentences, which means you have to serve the full term of your sentence. The FEDs have unlimited resources and therefore are not capped at how much further they can investigate to throw the book at Aunt Becky.
Aunt Becky has a great legal defense team but she made the stupid decision to think that the FEDs won't prosecute her because she was a beloved actress from Full House in the 90s. Surely people wouldn't put Aunt Becky in jail, is what she thought! This is why Lori Laughlin was smiling and signing autographs. Felicity Huffman took her legal team's advice and therefore has such a lower sentence which will probably be house arrest. Felicity was indeed ashamed of her actions. Lori Laughlin was not ashamed and she managed to make the American public angry. The American public is angry because Ms. Laughlin bought her daughters a spot at USC when she could have paid for the best academic prep, her daughters didn't need to go to college they had paid partnerships with Sephora and other prominent businesses--- connections that the general American people would love to have, her daughters bragged about not wanting to attend college for an education---how many of us lie awake at night thinking about the rising astronomical rising cost of a college education?! The Ameican people are outraged because too long have the privileged and wealthy told the mass populace work hard to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Meanwhile, they actually mean do as I say and not do as I do. She has managed stupidly count on her privilege and looks both of which the FEDs and the Ameican people are outraged and disgusted by. |
| Hopefully Trump pardons Aunt Becky with the good hair |
Well said. |
| I want to know what her PR team was thinking by telling her to smile, wave and sign autographs on the way in to court. What kind of crisis management is that? All she did was further piss off the public and, apparently, the prosecutors. |

This Loughlin gal is a real winner. The opposite from the Huffman gal who has expressed her apology to family and ones who work had to get into college, along with the often hardship on families.
The Loghlin gal should face the maximum of everything for her actions. To say that any mother would do this for her children is just plain nuts. No decent parent would do this. What a shameful example for her children. A most disgusting person!!! |
I think the crisis management team was retained by the husband after Loughlin’s courthouse performance. It was clear she was clueless. In photos, he looked scared and she looked confident like “We got this Gianni...”. What an idiot. |
Also, I really don't think people were as appalled by what Martha Stewart did. I mean ethically it might be the same, but to the average person the idea of posing your kids on a rowing machine to have them recruited for a sport they don't even play is just unimaginable. |
