Why Lori Loughlin’s Daughters Are ‘Devastated’ Over Something the ‘Full House’ Alum Did Decades Ago

Lori Loughlin’s daughter Olivia Jade Giannulli will never get the chance to recycle some of her mom’s most iconic red carpet looks.

The influencer, 26, revealed in an interview with People published Thursday, October 30, that the Full House star, 61, got rid of some of her wardrobe decades ago.

“When she was in maybe her 30s or 40s, she did a huge closet cleanout,” said Olivia. “She got rid of some of her most iconic pieces. My sister [Isabella Rose Giannulli, 27] and I are devastated, but we’ll get over it.”

Loughlin, who played Aunt Becky on the ABC sitcom Full House, was a celebrity staple of the ‘90s. She went on to reprise the role for the Netflix revival Fuller House, which ran from 2016 to 2018.

The actress stepped away from the spotlight, however, when it was revealed that she and her now-estranged husband Mossimo Giannulli were involved in the 2019 college admissions scandal. The pair paid $500,000 in bribes to have their daughters accepted into the University of Southern California as members of the rowing team, although neither played the sport. After she pleaded guilty, Loughlin served two months in prison.

Now, the two are back in the headlines after it was revealed via Loughlin’s representative that she and her husband have separated after 28 years of marriage.

Following the announcement, a source exclusively told Star that the couple never truly recovered from the Operation Varsity Blues fallout.

​​“Their college admissions scandal took a real toll on Lori and Mossimo as a couple as well as individually,” a source revealed earlier this month. “It was utterly humiliating and crushed their spirits to a point that they’ve never really recovered.”

An insider also confirmed that she and the fashion designer, 62, are “living apart and taking a break from their marriage.”

The When Calls the Heart star “is still trying to wrap her head around it all,” said a source. “She wants to keep this clean and civilized, for the sake of their daughters. The last thing they need is another scandal blowing up their lives.”
