Lori Loughlin Returns to Instagram with Help from ‘Full House’ Co-Stars 7 Years After College Admissions Scandal | Just Jared
Lori Loughlin is making her highly-anticipated return to social media!
After seven years of being offline, the 62-year-old actress returned to Instagram on Monday (August 31) with the help of her Full House co-stars.
In her first new post, Lori shared a video featuring John Stamos, Jodie Sweetin, Candace Cameron Bure, Scott Weinger, Andrea Barber and Dave Coulier all holding a cup of coffee while reciting her character Rebecca Donaldson’s “Wake Up San Francisco” line.
Following the montage from her former co-stars, Lori appeared on screen as she lip-synced, “Hi I’m Rebecca Donaldson and I’m welcoming myself back to the show,” she lip-synced. “Welcome back Becky. Why thank you Becky.”
The post then showed a clip from Full House featuring the late Bob Saget delivering the line while in character.
“Wake up San Francisco, I’m Danny Tanner,” Bob said as he introduced his character.
Present-day Lori reappeared on screen to introduce herself alongside a round of applause, “And I’m Rebecca Donaldson.”
“Wake up, San Francisco! I’m back on IG,” Lori captioned the video.
Lori has been offline since 2019
Lori deleted all of her social media accounts in March 2019 following news of her involvement in the now-infamous college admissions scandal. Lori and then-husband Mossimo Giannulli were accused of paying $500,000 in bribes in order to guarantee their daughters, Olivia Jade and Bella were accepted to the University of Southern California.
Lori and Mossimo were indicted and pleaded guilty to fraud charges two months later. Lori was sentenced to two months in prison and was released in December 2020. Mossimo served a five-month sentence and was released in April 2021.
Last year, it was announced that Lori and Mossimo had separated after 28 years of marriage.
If you didn’t see, Lori recently surprised Hallmark Channel fans with an exciting announcement!
