Lori Loughlin aka Aunt Becky Gets 2 Months in Prison, But She’ll Get Out Early, and Then Enough’s Enough

OK, really, enough’s enough.

Lori Loughlin, aka Aunt Becky from “Full House,” made a plea deal today with the US government in Boston. She’ll get two months in prison and has to pay a $150,000 fine.

Her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, was sentenced to five months in prison after a federal judge accepted his plea deal with prosecutors.

They’ll each get out earlier than that, of course. And then, please, let’s move on.

Loughlin does not deserve to be blacklisted for the rest of her life because of the college admissions scandal. She’s a welcome presence on the Hallmark channel and other mundane theatricals.

Felicity Huffman, who’s already paid her fine and served her time, ditto. And she’s too fine an actress to have her career destroyed. Nothing that was done by these people requires this kind of lifelong drubbing. They made mistakes, they’re doing their time.

Really. Don’t we have bigger problems? Let’s forgive, forget and move on already!
