SCANDAL ROCKS HOLLYWOOD: Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli's Marriage Implodes Amid College Admissions Debacle

The once-strong marriage of Hollywood power couple Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli has finally imploded, and the damage is irreparable. After 28 years of marriage, the couple's relationship has been left in shambles following their high-profile involvement in the college admissions scandal.

According to sources close to the couple, the scandal has not only torn them apart but has also left a lasting impact on their children, Isabella and Olivia Jade. The family's reputation was left in tatters as they faced humiliation and ridicule from the public and late-night talk shows.

"The entire family was embarrassed and that was like a huge deal to Mossimo," they said. "It felt like he had built all this goodwill, publicly, and it was all gone.
