Loughlin's return to acting comes after she and her husband Mossimo Giannulli were famously charged in the 2019 college admissions scandal.

They pled guilty in 2020 to conspiracy charges after they were accused of paying half a million dollars to get their daughters, Olivia Jade and Isabella "Bella" Giannulli, into the University of Southern California as crew recruits. Neither daughter had ever rowed competitively.
