John Stamos Blames Mossimo Giannulli for College Scandal, Defends Lori Loughlin

On a podcast, the actor cast Giannulli as architect of the $500,000 USC bribe case, a fresh turn in a saga that saw both parents plead guilty before serving prison terms.

Overview

  • Stamos called Giannulli a "terrible narcissist" and said he will never speak to him again during the Good Guys podcast.
  • He said Loughlin appeared unaware of the scheme, recalling she told him "Mossimo handles all that stuff" when news of the investigation first broke.
  • Loughlin’s representative confirmed earlier this month that she and Giannulli are living apart and taking a break, with no legal proceedings underway.
  • Prosecutors said the couple paid about $500,000 to Rick Singer to present their daughters as USC crew recruits; both pleaded guilty in 2020, with Loughlin serving two months and Giannulli five.
  • Giannulli had no immediate comment on Stamos’ assertions, while Stamos argued Loughlin was unfairly "dragged" through the scandal and shared her account of joining a prison book club.
