Long gone are the days Lori Loughlin was simply everyone s favorite aunt in
Full House. Now, the actress s name is more closely associated with the 2019 college admissions scandal that saw several wealthy parents, including actors like Loughlin and Felicity Huffman, investigated by the FBI for bribing their children s way into elite universities. The scandal is the subject of a new Netflix feature-length documentary,
Operation Varsity Blues, that hit the streaming service on March 17, two years after the news captured the public s attention and exposed the underbelly of the college admissions process one which thrives on wealth inequality.
The documentary breaks down the mastermind behind the scandal, Rick Singer, through the lens of his wiretapped conversations (presented to viewers via reenactments) and how Loughlin and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, got caught up in Singer s conspiracy, leading to their subsequent guilty plea.
