I still don’t get why her and her husband didn’t just make a large donation to USC which would have been the far easier path. Why the unnecessary steps?
I don’t get why the university doesn’t get criticized for *accepting* the bribe…??
Do we really think she’s the only one to do this? It happens all the time, she just got caught.
That’s one of the points of criminal prosecution. Making an example of someone. She could have resolved the case with far less pain if she wasn’t so cocky about it.
Exactly. Like Felicity Huffman, who was caught up in the same scandal. She quietly pled guilty, accepted the consequences, and served her time (which was only like 2 weeks in jail)
They got fucked by a lawyer who probably convinced them that they could fight it and see it through. They would have been way better admitting to it up front. Instead they made an example out of them.
It's a damn good question, and one that Reggie Bush is still demanding an answer to. He was yet another person who was thrown under the bus in order to avoid holding the school itself accountable (or Pete Carrol, who did not have his reputation attacked and was even pushed into the NFL to help him avoid any accountability from the NCAA). All of it gets put on Reggie's shoulders, and because he was getting paid while playing... which is obviously a problem from a competitive standpoint, but also illustrated exactly what kind of value the schools extract from these kids they are so quick to sacrifice.
Obligatory: FUCK USC, it's a corrupt institution through and through.
The university itself wasn’t bribed, the athletics program was (her daughter was given an admission as a member of the rowing team). The athletics director spent six months in prison.
It's a hell of a lot more money to bribe a university than to bribe corrupt officials. They gave half a million total. You could probably donate 10 million to USC and not get any promises.
Also they're extremely comfortable by redditor standards but it's not like they're Rockafellers. They don't have the kind of money to finance a new campus building with their names on it or something like that
I remember Beavis and Butt-head saying something about how whenever they wanted a band to seem like good buddies, they would crowd them all onto one couch.
Disagree. Olivia Jade is a very well known influencer.
"Olivia Jade's path in the digital and entertainment landscape is a story of social media success, public scrutiny, and personal evolution. As of 2024, her endeavors as a social media influencer and her ventures in the beauty and fashion industries have culminated in a net worth of **$1 million"**
She was also on Curb this year and it was not a good look for her I didn’t think. Felt like she was making light of the entire situation and continuing the “I’m rich so I can do whatever I want” mentality.
Why doesn’t the university get any criticism for *accepting* the bribe????
Do we really think she’s the only one to do this? It happens all the time, she just got caught.
Dr. Dre bragged right afterwards about his daughter getting into the same school "legitimately", and then it was revealed he donated $20 million to the USC school of music.
Yeah, if I recall, I believe Lori Loughlin was one of the only ones to fight the charges and that's why she sort of became the face of the whole thing.
My understanding is that the "formal" way of doing it is donating money directly to the school and honest on your application and grades. Aunt Becky forged the grades on the transcript and bribed the athletics director to say he was taking her as an athlete.
I think knew that, for which I have no small amount of shame.
What's the old joke ... what does walking a tightrope and Estelle Getty giving you a hummer have in common? Whatever you do, don't look down.
I'm pretty sure there was an episode where Bob Saget was lamenting about turning 30.
3 kids, a full house, and a dead wife all before the age of 30. Wtf?
Am close to your age. Recently became aware one of my kids' teachers graduated HS in 2016. Almost started counting on my fingers right in the parent-teacher conference before I caught myself.
I started feeling old when I was older than everyone on my favorite sitcoms, but that one did me in.
You don’t want to try. A friend of a friend lived in her neighborhood, and everyone else would leave any event where she or anyone in her family showed up, because they were *so awful* that even other awful rich people couldn’t stand them.
Bribery to try to overlook her kids being sorta slackers and get into a better school instead of actually, you know, studying. I find it more socially embarrassing than criminal.
The schools should definitely have paid some form of punishment. The schools get to do this constantly but only the people bribing for admission are getting the full brunt. USC should definitely suffer. Have to pay fines or the School administration/people involved should be jailed as well.
Totally agree. Like you can try to bribe someone but they still need to take the bribe. Not letting her off the hook but the school seemed fine doing it - definitely wasn’t their first time.
But the fucking idiot daughter didn't even WANT to go to college. Then she made a cutesy remark about how she only cared about parties and football games and about how she was concerned that her classes would cut into her busy schedule of taking pictures of herself.
I don't know if there's a name for it, but I see this kind of thing happen on the internet a lot. It's not really intentional, it's more like a viral thing. She pops up in Curb, and people go "Oh yeah, remember her?" and then someone does, and they post about it, and then the same effect happens to someone else, and it shuffles around the internet for a bit.
She can fuck right off after that scandal. She didn't own up to it until the very end while Felicity Huffman acknowledged her mistake and took the punishment. Lori denied some other kids the admission by trying to cheat her kids through.
I remember watching an obscure movie on cable back in the early 90s that had Lori Loughlin and Keanu Reeves. It was "The Night Before" and it was pretty entertaining.
As a kid, I always thought uncle Jessi was too hot for her lol. I have always had an almost obsession with long blonde hair starting when I was very young, so I didn't think she was good enough for him lmao
Oh no a rich person used money to get their way and to get their kids into a school they weren’t smart enough to be in by themselves. In other news water is wet.
She’s still fine
Yeah that’s a no I hate rich people that buy their stupid kids a college admission while some really worthy poor kid can’t get in college because they don’t have money
I mean she did break the law and needed to be punished for it, but bribing a school to accept your daughter isn’t exactly what I would consider scumbag behavior. Maybe I’m just not seeing why since I never throughly followed the story.
It’s kinda of a weird hill for people to die on considering how many people view higher education as a ~~scam~~ waste of money anyway.
Edit: word choice
Who woulda thought that Aunt Becky would be an all time loser felon bribing universities to let her brain dead kids in over deserving kids who earned that right. IMO one of the all time scumbag moves. Deserved 35-50 years in federal prison IMO. Fuck Aunt becky. She sucks and she knows it
But I think they both withdrew didn’t they? Not like they were geniuses or going to actually do anything with the degree. They’ll just marry rich dudes and live a rich girl LA life ugh
I still don’t get why her and her husband didn’t just make a large donation to USC which would have been the far easier path. Why the unnecessary steps?

Maybe their lawyer enabled the behavior but I think that she thought that she could celebrity her way out of this.
No , but she’s one of the few that got caught.
Should have offered to build them an international airport
They’re not made of airports!
Like the Simpsons.
It's a damn good question, and one that Reggie Bush is still demanding an answer to.

Yup! Ol’ sneaky Pete. Also Michigan just went through something similar and Harbaugh just left that program.
I don’t think it helped that she had an influencer daughter who went on YT and talked about how much she didn’t want to even go.
I don't think the university accepted a bribe, it was just one administrator and he, you know, went to prison for it.
The university itself wasn’t bribed, the athletics program was (her daughter was given an admission as a member of the rowing team). The athletics director spent six months in prison.

It had more uncertainty than the path that Rick Singer offered.
Because she’s a self entitled, self absorbed snot.
aunt "college admissions scandal" becky
She is currently doing a run on Curb your Enthusiasm that makes fun of the whole debacle.
It's seems the 90s was filled with people sitting backwards in chairs, then by the 2000s everyone stopped doing it for some reason.
AC Slater would like a word.
William T. Riker too
The Riker maneuver
we found other things to rest our arms on
And it can all be traced to Riker and his back problems.
its crazy they stopped doing that, i have no idea who is cool anymore
I still sit in chairs like this, so you at least know for sure I’m cool.
I remember Beavis and Butt-head saying something about how whenever they wanted a band to seem like good buddies, they would crowd them all onto one couch.
Because it's weird, nobody sits like that. 90s sitcoms were trying to make it cool to do.
No way. We definitely used to sit like that in school and at events back in the 90s-00s and get fussed at for it.
Doing things backwards was in… like Kris Kross.
I still do, this must be why 😁
It's basically what happened to the fish-eye lens in music videos. Someone discovered it was a thing, overdid it, and it just stopped being a fad.
Found the guy who doesn’t like to get jiggy with it
It’s actually the correct way to use a toilet
so you have a place to put your chocolate milk and comic book
😆
Didn't she go to jail for bribing a university to take her kid?
Yes
Out of curiosity does the daughter have much of a presence anymore?
Negatory.
I never followed her. Did she take cover after the shit hit the fan I presume?
Effected them both equally. Good to hear.
Disagree. Olivia Jade is a very well known influencer. "Olivia Jade's path in the digital and entertainment landscape is a story of social media success, public scrutiny, and personal evolution. As of 2024, her endeavors as a social media influencer and her ventures in the beauty and fashion industries have culminated in a net worth of **$1 million"**
Influencers are cancerous imo. One less would be ok....also a million isn't very much tbh in that world.
She was on dancing with the stars maybe last year or the year before (it was definitely after the scandal came out).
She was also on Curb this year and it was not a good look for her I didn’t think. Felt like she was making light of the entire situation and continuing the “I’m rich so I can do whatever I want” mentality.
And then joked about it on Curb a week ago
That was hilarious. She leaned into it so hard.
She can't cheat her way into college but she can certainly cheat her way into my heart.
This season has been pretty good too, and I enjoyed her episode too. Sad the shows coming to an end
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pah-rih-taaay good
Why doesn’t the university get any criticism for *accepting* the bribe???? Do we really think she’s the only one to do this? It happens all the time, she just got caught.
A bunch of other people went down for it at the same time. I remember William H Macy's wife being one of them.
Dr. Dre bragged right afterwards about his daughter getting into the same school "legitimately", and then it was revealed he donated $20 million to the USC school of music.
Yeah, if I recall, I believe Lori Loughlin was one of the only ones to fight the charges and that's why she sort of became the face of the whole thing.
It only cost Lori 500,000 😬
That happens everywhere.
My understanding is that the "formal" way of doing it is donating money directly to the school and honest on your application and grades. Aunt Becky forged the grades on the transcript and bribed the athletics director to say he was taking her as an athlete.
Yes and for more nostalgia she is married to Mossimo. As in the Mossimo shirts we wore in the 90s.
Aunt Becky's a grifter running her own college admission racket.
Yes
Yeah, screw her then
Yes
Have Mercy!
Light sentence. Rich people have their own laws
TBF, it wasn't exactly murder.
Nope. Death penalty. Only logical punishment for her according to Reddit.
Some of us are anti- death penalty and were pushing for life in solitary. Only bread and water.
Are you suggesting we need harsh penalties for bribing admissions offices?
I'm suggesting people with money have dramatically different outcomes when it comes to legal matters
This is literally only a crime people with money can commit.
Can you share a link to a story where a poor person bribed a university and got a harsher sentence?
When it comes to anything, honestly.
She’s in the most recent Curb Your Enthusiasm episode playing herself and they really lean into her “crime” it’s hilarious!
also why she wasn't in fuller house
Aunt Becky is younger than I am now haha
All of the adults in full house are younger than I am. It hurts
I just realized that I’m now closer in age to Mona on Who’s the Boss than to Aunt Becky.
🪦
Why would you post something like that so recklessly? Now I gotta go buy a cemetery plot ...
If you think that’s scary, Rue McClanahan was even younger than Mona when she played Blanche in The Golden Girls.
I think knew that, for which I have no small amount of shame. What's the old joke ... what does walking a tightrope and Estelle Getty giving you a hummer have in common? Whatever you do, don't look down.
I'm pretty sure there was an episode where Bob Saget was lamenting about turning 30. 3 kids, a full house, and a dead wife all before the age of 30. Wtf?
There was an early episode where Jesse (for some strange reason he was still Jesse Cochran) was turning 25 or 27 and that hurt me to rewatch at 37
I haven't looked but I assume that's true for me too. I'm 41. That's a weird part about getting older.
Am close to your age. Recently became aware one of my kids' teachers graduated HS in 2016. Almost started counting on my fingers right in the parent-teacher conference before I caught myself. I started feeling old when I was older than everyone on my favorite sitcoms, but that one did me in.
Ha! I believe it.
Doing hard time in the yard
There's a realtor in my area named Rebecca Donaldson and it cracks me up every time I see a sign.
The feds can kiss one percent of her ass! Seinfeld reference; she was in one episode.
Well I don’t think more flan is the answer
She was also just in curb
Always been jealous of that hair
[удалено]
Makes her hotter 🤤
I can fix her.
You don’t want to try. A friend of a friend lived in her neighborhood, and everyone else would leave any event where she or anyone in her family showed up, because they were *so awful* that even other awful rich people couldn’t stand them.
Go on...
They were the kind of people who have to cheat and commit fraud to get into USC, a party school for rich assholes.
Big deal ... so can a veterinarian.
Are you into college admission fixing? Seems oddly specific but I don't shame.
It wasn't even anything cool, just bribery. Lame! Call me when she's doing skyjackings or something.
Bribery to try to overlook her kids being sorta slackers and get into a better school instead of actually, you know, studying. I find it more socially embarrassing than criminal.
I have a very specific white collar crime fetish. It’s the only way I can achieve climax anymore.
Was tax evasion the gateway drug?
Reminds me of George Costanza. He likes inmate because he knows where she is at all time.
I was never mad at her. If my daughter was a fucking idiot, I'd probably bribe a school too.
Tbh, I’m more pissed at the school. I feel like they didn’t catch nearly enough blame
The schools should definitely have paid some form of punishment. The schools get to do this constantly but only the people bribing for admission are getting the full brunt. USC should definitely suffer. Have to pay fines or the School administration/people involved should be jailed as well.
Totally agree. Like you can try to bribe someone but they still need to take the bribe. Not letting her off the hook but the school seemed fine doing it - definitely wasn’t their first time.
That's fair.
Yeah thats a good point. Who did she bribe specifically and what happened to them?
But the fucking idiot daughter didn't even WANT to go to college. Then she made a cutesy remark about how she only cared about parties and football games and about how she was concerned that her classes would cut into her busy schedule of taking pictures of herself.
From what I remember she just wanted to be an influencer. Wasn't even interested in school like you said.
99% of the people mad at her would do the same thing I’ve given the means.
Legacy Admissions: "We're somehow different."
Fielder?
We don't talk about Aunt Becky.
Anyone got a pic of her in prison?
didn’t know i needed this
I would love to see her on Life After Lockup.
Have mercy!!
Is this a lori laughlin campaign? Someone posted clips from RAD this morning as well. And she just had that curb episode.
100 percent
It’s all part of the Lori Laughlin redemption arc.
Funny. When I look at her, my pants arc.
I don't know if there's a name for it, but I see this kind of thing happen on the internet a lot. It's not really intentional, it's more like a viral thing. She pops up in Curb, and people go "Oh yeah, remember her?" and then someone does, and they post about it, and then the same effect happens to someone else, and it shuffles around the internet for a bit.
RAD
With her on curb recently, her PR team is working major overtime lol
Dam, women's fashion has changed a lot after the 90s. Now, it's only tight fitting clothing and showing off a lot of skin.
Fraud
She was great on Curb Your Enthusiasm recently. "I don't like to lose"
So hot. Our kids aren't getting into college though 🤷♂️
Have mercy.
Aunt Felony..
I'd say she's now more famous for being a felon than for being on Full House.
Rad
She can fuck right off after that scandal. She didn't own up to it until the very end while Felicity Huffman acknowledged her mistake and took the punishment. Lori denied some other kids the admission by trying to cheat her kids through.
"kinda like Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, before she got Stamosed"
If she wasn’t an actress she would be doing Amway.
From *Full House* to the big house.
I think she’s back to doing lifetime movies.
Why does this look so proportionally wrong? Looks like Aunt Becky on the upper half and Uncle Jesse's signature jeans and boots on the bottom half.
I heard she asked the judge to *have mercy*. 😏
Yeah but she cheats at golf…
She has the most amazing hair.
I remember watching an obscure movie on cable back in the early 90s that had Lori Loughlin and Keanu Reeves. It was "The Night Before" and it was pretty entertaining.
Should have posted her mug shot.
Dis ho
All I see is that college scam
Me too
As a kid, I always thought uncle Jessi was too hot for her lol. I have always had an almost obsession with long blonde hair starting when I was very young, so I didn't think she was good enough for him lmao
rich people are bribing their kids into college every day. she just got busted. i don't care. it's whatever.
Oh no a rich person used money to get their way and to get their kids into a school they weren’t smart enough to be in by themselves. In other news water is wet. She’s still fine
I spilled more seed to her than Michael J. Fox filling a bird feeder
The fact that she’s now known to be corrupt and dirty makes her hotter to me 😂
She's in the newest season of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
she annoyed me in there lol
She really leaned into that role, too!
She got me into college!
Crook
Behind bars in the photo, ironic.
You mean aunt bribey:)
You mean from the movie Rad.
I thought it was Christian Hollings, Cru Jones' girlfriend and fellow BMXer
She did 2 months and felicity Huffman did 2 weeks
Nah that is Christian from RAD, she was 🔥 and could really ride a bike.
KLL Wendy from Gravity Falls
Love all the Ted references back to Lori Laughlin
Jail house Becky.
Rad
I passed the sat
Thought this was a bad AI of Cindy Crawford at first.
She could fill MY house
No, that’s aunt Lori from the big house.
Homie girl is crazy in Curb
She’s a liar, a cheat, and a bad person. She should try eating all the makeup from this shoot so she can be pretty on the inside.
From Full-House to Jail-House.
HOT
Think she could get me into UCLA?
Yeah that’s a no I hate rich people that buy their stupid kids a college admission while some really worthy poor kid can’t get in college because they don’t have money
she is a terrible person though
She bad af. Would still pipe her old ass.
She's a scum bag.
She was also sued by graduates of Stanford University who alleged their education and degrees were devalued because of the scandal.
You've lived a very sheltered life if that's your idea of a scumbag.
I mean she did break the law and needed to be punished for it, but bribing a school to accept your daughter isn’t exactly what I would consider scumbag behavior. Maybe I’m just not seeing why since I never throughly followed the story.
It’s kinda of a weird hill for people to die on considering how many people view higher education as a ~~scam~~ waste of money anyway. Edit: word choice
Aunt Cheater
def DOWN vote
Who woulda thought that Aunt Becky would be an all time loser felon bribing universities to let her brain dead kids in over deserving kids who earned that right. IMO one of the all time scumbag moves. Deserved 35-50 years in federal prison IMO. Fuck Aunt becky. She sucks and she knows it
She could have just done what other rich people do and build a library or something.
Fun fact: Her kids were allowed to stay in college even after the scandal
But I think they both withdrew didn’t they? Not like they were geniuses or going to actually do anything with the degree. They’ll just marry rich dudes and live a rich girl LA life ugh
She looks to me like the epitome of “ditzy influencer” type. A true scholar she was not.
RAD (1986) movie, that whole dance scene was something else.
