They’ve welcomed me with such open arms at a time when I was feeling particularly down and broken.

About the scandal

The former Hallmark star served two months in a medium-security federal correctional institution in Victorville, California. The sentence came for her part in the college admissions scandal after she and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli paid $500,000 to guarantee their daughters, Olivia Jade and Isabella gain admission to the University of Southern California.

Lori Loughlin – Written Out Of Hallmark

As Loughlin was in a mini-security camp, she wore a uniform but had access to classes such as ceramics, Pilates and spinning. Moreover, the Full House alum paid a $150,000 fine and had to complete 100 hours of community service. Meanwhile, she also has to spend two years on supervised release.

Due to the scandal, Loughlin was written out of the Hallmark show When Calls the Heart. However, she did reprise her role as Abigail Stanton in GAC’s spinoff When Hope Calls. Since then, there has been no news of her returning to the small screen.
