9 of the Most WTF Details from the College Admissions Scandal Court Docs


Yesterday we all found-out there was no Santa Claus, Easter Bunny or meritocracy when it comes to the hyper-competitive race to enter the top colleges in the U.S. Yup, even if your kid was as dumb as a box of rocks, all you had to do was contact a guy in west Newport Beach operating out of his 5,500 square-foot house and he'd grease the right coaches and administration officials. Bingo, Johnny or Janey was now a freshman at USC or Stanford University. Why is anyone surprised?

To spice-up this latest college corruption scandal, the men in suits before the microphones announced that actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin were among the haul of affluent parents they got the goods on paying-out mucho "quatloos" to one William Singer and his Key Worldwide Foundation. Singer offered a variety of ingenious methods to circumvent all the orthodox ways to impress on a college entrance application. Loughlin and her husband Massimo Giannuli used a well-known athletic method at USC (with a swim coach's blessing) to create the illusion their daughter Olivia Jade was a little Diana Nyad and indispensable to the Trojan's swim team.

William Singer had every angle covered. For example, if someone's son had never set-foot in a pool than he merely photoshopped a blurry image of Theopolos Snerd onto a body like Olympian Michael Phelps for evidence on the entrance application. On SATs and ACTs errant answers were corrected afterward so a Densa could become a Mensa.

I'm disappointed. Why? Because as a sophomore in high school my buddy's 17-year-old brother got us into see an R-Rated movie called Secret Admirer. Among the high points of the flick was a full-frontal of a young Kelly Preston, complete with big boobs and a fabulous bush plus an unbelievably cute Lori Laughln. Loughlin was twenty-two at the time, wholesome and hot and everything a young stud like myself wanted in a babe. It's tough to see a teen fantasy image like that disappear into a morass of middle-age scandal.

$500,000.00 paid on the side to get both daughters in.

1 million in bond for Dad. Career damaged.

Mom currently in custody and awaiting her hearing and bond. Possible loss of employment as one of the recurring stars at Hallmark. Career damaged.

Daughters probably expelled with only a scam school like Trump University available. Major lifestyle change.

I hope it was worth the following:

Donald Trump with his sham Trump University borrowed a for-profit, higher-education idea that was refined in good old Orange County, California.

A short 7-miles north from William Singer's Newport Beach home on the 55-freeway is the former headquarters of "Royal" Corinthian Colleges, nestled in an upscale hi-rise office complex roughly equal distance between the John Wayne airport and the Segerstrom Center for the Arts. It was a hodge-podge of close to two dozen for-profit colleges-- in some cases the word college described an empty big-box store which had quickly been converted to hold classrooms-- Corinthian preyed on the disadvantaged and marginally literate desperate to better their lives. Nearly all Corinthian's business model was dependent on a steady revenue stream of federally-backed, Title IV student aid loans, most of which its students could never hope to pay back.

Only after a student discovered that their class credits at the Bryman Institute of Truck Driving and Neurosurgery weren't transferable to a legitimate university, nor were they a pathway to an occupation, did they realize the entire thing was a scam. By that time they were on the hook for a student loan the size of which frequently exceeded the in-state tuition at some of our nation's better colleges and universities.

One has to wonder if Trump has any connection to this scam. It’s in keeping with his modus operandi. I’m sure his eldest three were at the college of their choice through legal means, high academic standards, and exemplary scholastic achievement. He’s been strangely silent.

And for the record, I have always liked Lori Loughlin, too. I still can’t believe she did this.

Did you like Lori Loughlin or the wholesome image she presented? I appreciated Felicity Huffman as an actress and the way she presented herself in interviews, but as a person? I wouldn’t testify for her in court. ;)

We don’t know any celebrity except through carefully crafted PR. And like I keep saying, we barely know the people in our own lives. Everyone has three lives - public, private, and secret. Only the person themselves knows how similar those three lives are.

Well said LaFemme. Look for Lori Laughlin to head back your way in Canada. Today after positing a million dollars bail here in Los Angeles, she was free to return to Vancouver where they film her shows.

For many of us middle-aged men who remember her as the wholesome, fresh-faced image she presented on TV in the 1980s, this turn of events comes as a bit of a shock and disappointment. Like many Jekyll and Hyde stories we shouldn't be surprised, but are.

It is disappointing. I remember Aunt Becky, although I think I too busy clubbing in the 80’s to pay attention to anything more than what was hot music-wise...(also, much of the 80’s is kind of blurry?)

It absolutely sucks when people disappoint us. In this case I’m guessing both she and Felicity feel humiliated, too. But if Lori is going back to work....not a career ending move, I guess. Still, they are the laughingstock of the free world right now. Not much slack given to the rich and beautiful on a scandal like this.

Yes, yes, and yes. And she’s purty, too. Ya got me, my sweet. Life has become so disgusting here in PerverTrumpistan that I have taken to watching the Canadian actors’ repertory company known as Hallmark Movies to remove the stench of the Orange Anus and restore my soul and purity. How will I get through Sunday nights without Lori in When Calls The Heart? Or seasonal movies without Lori? Or the endless weeks of Christmas movies any time if the year without Lori. DJ and Stephanie just don’t do It for me. It’s Aunt Becky and Canada all the way!

Wow! Both she and her husband got hit for a million apiece? And that’s just a start. Ugh. How long will she have a show or a career? At least, she was able to return to Canada.

What he said. And she’s purty.

*picks his jaw up off the floor and raises his hands to heaven and wails*.

Personally....I am shocked by this scandal...SHOCKED

Your telling me that rich and famous people use influence and money to unfairly secure advantages for their children

That's shocking and appalling

What's shocking news is next....that Chelsea Clinton and George w bush got special considerations getting into top schools.....

Seriously is these prestigious university only take the very best students....yet when was the last time a famous persons child DIDNT get in.....

It's only cause these guys are b listers that they even have to bribe....like if your Kennedy's son...your just going to walk in to annoy league school....

I bet joh Jr's application was just a signed picture of himself
View attachment 1600121

To be honest the only real problem I have is the stupidity of the lies

Trying to pass her daughter off as a CREW athlete.......as a dude who has dated ALOT of female atheletes......crew girls don't look like this Screenshot_2019-03-13-22-14-46-1.png

“The Hallmark Channel’s parent company, Crown Media, has decided to sever its relationship with Lori Loughlin after federal authorities charged the actress in connection with an elite nationwide college cheating scheme this week.

Best known for playing Aunt Becky on the long-running sitcom “Full House” in the 1990s ― and then again in the Netflix revival ― Loughlin has been a staple of Hallmark Channel programming in recent years. She starred in the network’s period drama “When Calls the Heart,” beginning in 2014 and regularly appeared on “Garage Sale Mysteries,” a series of crime drama flicks made for television, along with a number of Christmas movies for the channel.”

“As Loughlin faces a federal indictment, Crown Media said that is “no longer working with” her and that it has halted development of all its productions involving her, including “Garage Sale Mysteries,” even though the series is made by an independent third party.”

This scandal is likely to have far-reaching consequences beyond Mr. William Singer. How much weight on an admission should an Ivey League university give to a legacy applicant? What about affirmative-action? Affirmative-action applicants are given an admissions break to some universities despite lower SATs and GPAs, yet they're still far more qualified than Lori Loughlin's daughters.

Now let's throw-in the war between the far-left and the far-right political factions going-into the 2020 presidential election season. I can see a political TV commercial with an underprivileged student with a genius I.Q., reading an old dog-eared textbook by candlelight in a log cabin just like Abraham Lincoln. The camera cuts to Loughlin's daughter Olivia Jade, partying aboard USC Board of Trustees chairman Rick Caruso's 216-foot-long yacht Invictus sailing somewhere in the aqua-blue waters of the Bahamas.....

Truth be told, college admission shenanigans have been going-on for a long time:

I was thinking a lot about this. About what I’d do for my kids. I’d do a hell of a lot for them. I’d give my organs to them, I’d give my life for them, I literally have given the last dollar in my account to feed them. But I respect them enough to let them succeed or fail on their own. I provided all the tools for them to learn, but if they didn’t want to pick them up - that’s on them. I gave them lots of opportunity to succeed. They need to know success. But they need to know genuine success. And they need to know I’m there if they don’t. I’ll teach them how to deal with failure. I have immense faith in my kids. I believe in them. They amaze me everyday with the adults they are.

How little faith these parents had in their children. How little respect. How poorly they prepared their children for the world. How can these kids believe in themselves when obviously their parents don’t believe in them. They can’t even get into college on their own brain power. The message they get is that they are stupid, unathletic, and someone else is responsible for their success.

I hope these parents see what they’ve done. The damage they’ve done to their children. I doubt it, but I can hope.

This. A thousand times THIS! The best job any parent or guardian can do for his/her child is to teach them the skills necessary to make it in this world. The value of hard work. The value of getting a good education. That you don't get a trophy just for showing up. That, gasp, life ain't fair.

But, if you've done your job, your child will know what he/she needs to do to find their way in this world.
