John Stamos Defends Lori Loughlin, Blames Mossimo Giannulli for Varsity Blues Scheme

Stamos’s comments spotlight a shift in blame toward Giannulli during Loughlin’s separation without legal filings.

Overview

  • Speaking on the Oct. 20 Good Guys podcast, Stamos praised Loughlin and labeled Giannulli a “terrible narcissist,” adding he will not speak to him again.
  • He asserted Loughlin had little to no knowledge of the 2019 scheme, recalling she told him “Mossimo handles all that stuff” when the scandal broke.
  • Loughlin and Giannulli pleaded guilty in 2020 after paying $500,000 to have their daughters listed as USC crew recruits; she served two months in prison and he served five.
  • Loughlin’s representative confirmed on Oct. 2 that the couple are living apart and taking a break from their marriage with no legal proceedings underway.
  • Page Six reported Loughlin found “incriminating” messages on Giannulli’s phone, a claim not independently verified, and outlets noted Giannulli has offered no substantive response to Stamos’s remarks.
