Discussion: Hallmark Channel Drops Lori Loughlin Over College Bribery Scandal

9 Likes

Ouch! I wondered if they’d terminate her. She’s done MANY movies for the Hallmark Channel. Wonder if they’ll scrub them all?

The main thing these people seem to have did wrong was their bribe wasn’t done publicly and with a giant novelty check like those richer than them do all the time.

Cool. More work for Lacey Chabert and Jill Wagner…

My wife and I really, really like unwinding with some wine watching Hallmark movies every Secular Shopping Season.

There goes our chance for “Corrupt Christmas.” :disappointed_relieved:

Ain’t that a shame.
Maybe they’ll go bankrupt now.

Exactly. You don’t need to fix someone’s test scores or fake an athletic slot if you just write a big enough check.

No more cozy mysteries for you, Lori!

So…does “When Calls the Heart” feature Yoda? I can’t quite figure out this phrasing.

It’s now “When Calls the Prosecutor.”

Frankly, other than Macy, I never heard of any of these people. Age does have advantages.

Here’s the thing - right now this is a “rich white people using their money to exploit a loophole” scandal - but if/when we start talking about that loophole - that athletes get preferential treatment over otherwise more highly qualified kids - then we’re no longer limiting this to white kids. Now we’re talking about any athlete who can run, jump, shoot, catch, throw, or dribble a ball getting preferential treatment, and how at many schools the admission standards themselves are lower for athletes than for the general student body. Now we’re talking about thousands of non-white students, and now we’ve got a situation.

From her social media posts, this woman is a loud “Christian” with Trumpanzee supporters.

Funny. Has Trump tweeted about rich white people getting into prestigious schools by having their parents forking over big bucks? Sad.

There are so many celebrities I’d never know about if it weren’t for their criminal activities on the side.

“Wholesome” is a TV euphemism for “shiny happy white people.”

I’m still waiting for Southern Cal to march her damn kid off campus, but that now seems unlikely as she’s slimed her way into the party zone of the school’s head trustee … on his 216-foot yacht.

Loughlin was only laying down $500k. For reference, four years of tuition alone at USC is $200k. You have to up the ante to many times the cost of tuition before you can just openly purchase access. I would imagine the relevant number at USC is well north of $10 million.

I wonder how quick Target will move to dump her husband?

My gruff, veteran, Fox News-loving Brother-in-Law, loves Hallmark movies. He doesn’t miss his “Hallmarks.” I’m thinking it’s a similar world view for Fox and Hallmark.
