Earlier this month, we reported that the former Full House star Lori Loughlin has separated from her fashion designer husband Mossimo Giannulli after 28 years of marriage. Now, insiders are claiming that Loughlin is still “extremely angry” with Giannulli as they move ahead with their divorce.
Loughlin’s Deep Resentment For Giannulli
Loughlin, 61, reportedly harbors deep resentment towards Giannulli, 62. This comes years after they both served prison time in the wake of their infamous college admissions scandal.
“Lori is still extremely angry with him,” an insider told People Magazine. A second source claimed that the former couple have been living “separate lives” for quite some time.
Despite Loughlin’s negative feelings towards him, Giannulli reportedly still has a high opinion of her.
“He thinks she’s a lovely person and an incredible mom,” a third source close to Giannulli alleged. “He wants everything resolved quietly.”
College Admissions Scandal
Other sources have previously said that Loughlin and Giannulli’s once-strong marriage was torn apart by the college admissions scandal.
Loughlin and Giannulli made headlines back in 2019 when they were indicted for allegedly paying $500,000 to have their daughters Olivia Jade Giannulli and Isabella Rose Giannulli’s admitted to the University of Southern California as members of the crew team. They did this despite the fact that neither daughter had ever taken part in crew.
Though they initially fought the allegations against them, they finally gave in after a media firestorm that lasted for month. In May of 2020, Loughlin and Giannulli pleaded guilty to wire and mail fraud.
Loughlin was ultimately sentenced to two months in prison, serving out her sentence from October to December of 2020. Meanwhile, Giannulli was sentenced to five months behind bars. He began his sentence in November of 2020 and was released to home confinement in April of 2021.
“Things have never been the same after weathering the college admission fallout and the prison sentences together,” the source said, adding that the two were “moving on with separate priorities.”
“Lori feels betrayed,” the source added. “They’re in very different places right now, and it’s unlikely that they’ll find their way back together.”
Loughlin’s Friends ‘Do Not Like’ Giannulli
Loughlin’s friends are also still reportedly furious with Giannulli years later.
“She has a good group of friends. A lot of her friends are also divorced and have gone through the same thing she currently is,” a Loughlin source explained. “They’re rallying behind her, and they do not like him.”
One of these friends is Loughlin’s former Full House co-star John Stamos, who played her husband on the sitcom. He spoke out to blast Giannulli during an appearance on the Good Guys podcast in October.
When host Ben Soffer said that he’s heard that Giannulli is “supposedly not a very good guy” and may have been unfaithful, Stamos replied: “I’m taking the Fifth on that, but whatever he did busted her up to the core.”
“She put up with a lot over the years with this guy,” Stamos said. “She is an angel and she always made things better.”
“Look, he’s a very successful dude. I will never talk to him again. He’s a terrible narcissist, and I don’t think you ever get out of that,” he continued. “When you have a wife like that and a family like that, how do you bust that up?”

This has clearly been an extremely difficult few years for Loughlin. As her divorce continues, here’s hoping that she can find a way to put this behind her and move on with her life in a positive way.
