Lori Loughlin Scandal
Lori Loughlin and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, were charged with fraud on Tuesday, March 13. They have been accused of paying $500,000 for both of their daughters to gain entry into the University of Southern California. However, nearly 50 other people were also accused of college admission fraud in this recent FBI investigation.
Hallmark Channel films a number of its holiday films in Vancouver as well as its year-round programming. Loughlin was in the city filming Garage Sale Mysteries when she was charged with fraud, but she currently resides in Los Angeles.
