Lori Loughlin Once Said She Didn’t Want Her Kids to ‘Pay the Price’ for Her past Career Choices
Lori Loughlin, who is involved in the college admissions scandal, once said that she didn't want her children to "pay the price" for her decisions and how that affected her choice of roles.
In a 2014 interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, Lori, 54, opened up about how she chooses her acting roles.

Following the charges, the Hallmark Channel cut ties with Lori, while Netflix chose to drop her from "Fuller House."
"For me personally, I was always very thoughtful about projects that I chose for myself. I would say to myself, 'Can my father watch this?' If my father couldn’t watch it, I didn’t do it," Lori explained, adding:
"And then when I had children … I always thought, I don’t want to do anything that one day might rear its ugly head and my children have to pay the price for that."

MASSIVE COLLEGE BRIBERY SCANDAL
However, those words are coming back to bite the actress, who started her career at age 11 as a print model.
On March 12, 2019, Lori and her husband of nearly 22 years, designer Mossimo Giannulli, were arrested for allegedly paying a $500,000 bribe to get their daughters, Isabella Rose, 20, and Olivia Jade, 19, into the University of Southern California. The couple were each released on a bail bond of $1 million.
DESTROYING THEIR CAREERS
Following the charges, the Hallmark Channel cut ties with Lori, while Netflix chose to drop her from "Fuller House."
Meanwhile, her daughters, Isabella Rose, an aspiring actress, and Olivia Jade, a YouTube and Instagram influencer, have since dropped out of USC due to concerns of bullying from the scandal. Olivia Jade also lost major partnership deals with Sephora and TRESemme.
Lori and Mossimo are slated for a federal court appearance in Boston on April 3 along with actress Felicity Huffman, who allegedly paid $15,000 in bribes so that her 18-year-old daughter can get a higher SAT score.
