Here's Aunt Becky showing a lot of skin 33 years ago:
i really hate the way they pile in on this family. are they guilty, obv but the public really needs to go to the root. the schools are just at fault here, if not more.
i hope they continue to plead not guilty and drag usc and other schools into it. hope the lawyers keep hammering away and threaten to bring school administrators to justice to topple like injustices that have been going on for many decades. opening up congressional inquires into admissions, and usc is a great place to start.
this should scare the shit out of many people, and they'll prolly have to apologize to aunt becky to go away, not jail her.
lol @ a school that admitted 90% students 20/30 years ago to around 10% now and because of it, it's now prestigious and peeps want to go there....this shit is gayer than the oscars
well eventually the thought of spending many, many years in federal pound you in the ass prison aunt becky and her husband finally pled guilty to the charges and will serve a few months in prison each and pay a "hefty" fine...

BUMP
Aunt Becky served 2 months in prison.
Her husband, desinger Mossimo Giannulli, served 5 months in the clink for this. Both sentences were completed 4.5 years ago.
Now they're separating: https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/03/enter...i-separate-hnk
They had been married since 1997.
(By rereading this thread, I learned that Sloppy Joe was a spoiled private school kid -- something I missed the first time around.)
Lol. My mom taught in the lower grades so all three of us had half tuition.
Bit of a mixed bag overall but I learned things like nutrition and the food pyramid, social skills, and enough self-worth to not be routinely disrespected and humiliated by real life friends for years on end.

To me, the absolute biggest point in all of this was missed- lets say the daughter really did go to college and grinded out all 4 years and earned a degree...then what...she actually goes out and works a real 9-5 M-F career?? No, was never going to happen. The daughter would just live off of mom's money. So all of this effort, court, fines, fee, prison time- all for nothing to begin with.
USC was a status symbol, and the family wanted it.
I agree that the girl wasn't going to get out of college and get an entry-level job with her bachelor's degree in sociology.
BTW, something also missed in this whole thing is the fact that the SAT works! There's been decades of allegations of bias in the test -- claims that "white" and "rich people" have the upper hand on it. However, this scandal shows that's not true at all.
Lori Loughlin's daughter was white and rich. She had access to the best tutors possible. She wasn't retarded or learning disabled. She still couldn't achieve an average score, because she just wasn't that smart. That's the entire purpose of the SAT -- to assess ABILITY rather than scholastic achievement. The test could use some refinement, but this whole thing definitely proved that you can't just tutor your way into a good score.
In 1987, my mom sent me to an SAT class. It wasn't expensive, and was taught by grad students in a classroom at the local high school. The first 1-2 classes, I got something out of it, as they taught me the "gotchas" of the test, such as the fact that they'll never put a hard question up front, so obvious answers in the early questions are the correct ones. However, after learning those details, the class was useless to me. I was already able to score nearly perfect on the math part, and the verbal part was just a matter of me bearing down to memorize more vocabulary words (which was the stupid feature of the test, btw).
My ability to score well, especially in math, had nothing to do with being white. I was just born with a natural ability in the subject.
The dumb libs in academia removed the SAT as a relevant test for college admissions, about a decade ago. This ended up hurting minority students, not helping them, as smart black kids who didn't get good grades (maybe due to a challenging life situation) could no longer distinguish themselves from all the other kids who got mediocre grades. Who benefited? The rich white kids who got put into a Sloppy Joe private school and had their grades inflated, and no longer got dragged down by weak SAT scores.
Any perceived "preparation unfairness" could be neutralized by simply providing free SAT prep courses after school in lower income neighborhoods. But that would make too much sense, and the left is bad at common sense solutions.
As per usual, the left feels too much and thinks too little.
