Before news of their split surfaced, insiders close to Loughlin and Giannulli revealed just how much the college admissions scandal shook their marriage. The tension between them only grew as they tried to navigate the aftermath.
The Blast noted that while both faced public fallout and career damage, Giannulli reportedly placed much of the blame on the actress for the choices that led to their situation.
The scandal not only impacted their reputations but also their livelihoods. Loughlin lost major roles, including her Hallmark projects, while the fashion designer's business suffered a significant setback. According to a source:
"His sales suffered. She lost Hallmark. They blamed each other, but he blamed her more."
The College Scandal That Shook Hollywood

ICYMI, Loughlin and Giannulli made headlines for their involvement in a college admissions scandal that turned their world upside down.
They faced backlash after it was revealed they paid a hefty sum to get their daughters admitted to the University of Southern California as fake rowing recruits. They both eventually pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges, admitting their role in manipulating the admissions process.
Loughlin served two months in federal prison, paid a $150,000 fine, and completed community service. Giannulli faced a five-month sentence, $250,000 fine, and additional service hours, later finishing his term under home confinement.
