John told Dax that he had a conversation with Lori the previous night concerning the kind words Dax said about Lori. John said, “You said some really nice stuff about her. We talked last night about you. It was something that you were saying about how you hate when people bring her up because if you defend her, then people get mad. If you don’t defend her, then you feel bad because she’s a great person.”
Continuing, John gave his two pence on how Lori was never the cause of the fraud and how Lori spent time to make up for her mistake.
“She wasn’t really the architect of any of it. She was in the way background. She didn’t know what was going on. She also paid a lot of money. She set up a college fund for kids and she went to f—ing jail, man.”
After serving her jail term, she made her first appearance as a guest on KTLA’s “Lead with Love 3 telethon” and shared her experience volunteering for Project Angel Food in Los Angeles.
