Lori Loughlin Breaks Up with Mossimo Giannulli After 'Incriminating' Messages
SCANDAL ROCKS HOLLYWOOD: Lori Loughlin's Marriage Crumbles Amid Cheating Scandal
The news is exploding like a ticking time bomb, and we've got all the juicy details for you! After 27 years of marriage, Full House star Lori Loughlin has finally caught her cheating husband Mossimo Giannulli red-handed – or rather, red-faced. The stunning revelation comes just two weeks after Giannulli was spotted shopping in Beverly Hills with a young stylist named Hannah Harrison.
Sources close to the couple confirm that Loughlin discovered a treasure trove of incriminating text messages and emails on her husband's phone, which marked the final nail in the coffin for their marriage. "Lori found a bunch of text messages, and truly, that was the tipping point," a friend revealed to The Scholarly Note.
But this isn't just any ordinary cheating scandal – it's a tale of deceit, betrayal, and power struggles within one of Hollywood's most iconic couples. Loughlin, 61, had apparently been trying to hold onto their marriage for years, even going so far as to hope that Giannulli would change once he was released from prison.
However, insiders claim that Giannulli's behavior only worsened during his time behind bars, and it seems Loughlin finally realized she deserved better. "Mossimo had used Lori for years," the friend claimed. "She was hoping maybe he'd change when he got out of prison, but he got worse."
So, what led to this explosive fallout? It appears Giannulli's alleged infidelity with 32-year-old stylist Hannah Harrison was just the tip of the iceberg. According to sources, the two were spotted together multiple times, and their relationship had been going on for months.
But don't be fooled – Harrison claims she and Giannulli are simply "good friends" who met at his G/FORE Supply clothing store in Beverly Hills. "We drove separately," she explained. "He was introducing me to the guys there so I could pull clothes for his brand." Yeah, right!
Meanwhile, Loughlin has reportedly gone into hiding at her family home in Hidden Hills, California. The asking price on their lavish mansion has been reduced from $16.5 million to a whopping $14.95 million – a stark contrast to the opulent lifestyle they once shared.
But it's not just Loughlin who's feeling the heat – Giannulli is also facing scrutiny over his business dealings. As the co-founder of Mossimo, Inc., he amassed a staggering fortune by creating a mid-range clothing company that rivaled the likes of Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfigher. But insiders claim Giannulli's involvement in the college admission bribery scandal may have tainted his reputation forever.
The couple's high-profile trial in 2020 saw them plead guilty to conspiracy charges related to their daughters' enrollment at the University of Southern California. Loughlin received a two-month prison sentence, while Giannulli landed a five-month stint behind bars.
So what's next for these two Hollywood stars? Will they try to salvage their marriage, or will they both emerge from this scandal with renewed strength and purpose? One thing's for sure – only time (and the paparazzi) will tell!
