Analysis: Why Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman’s alleged roles in the college bribery scandal hit such a nerve
Lori Loughlin, left, and Felicity Huffman were both indicted in a sweeping college admissions bribery scandal this week.
For fans of “Full House,” Loughlin’s indictment was an especially shocking reveal, as it was another example of a celebrity’s real life apparently being very different from their TV character and public persona. While we all know, in theory, that we actually have no clue how our favorite actors live, sometimes what we see on-screen has a deeper effect on our psyche than we realize.
And unlike the actors who seem embarrassed about their earlier work, Loughlin had a great sense of humor about her famed role. Even as “Full House” became a pop culture punchline for being quite cheesy, she was always happy to discuss how much she loved the show and seemed to recognize how important it was to fans. So yes — it was upsetting to many that there was a warrant out for Aunt Becky’s arrest.
Huffman is also a popular celebrity at award shows, particularly when she’s with her actor husband, William H. Macy. Huffman and Macy are frequently featured with gushing headlines such as “Couple goals! Felicity Huffman and William H. Macy have a blast as they pack on the PDA on the Emmys red carpet,” or “Inside Felicity Huffman and William H. Macy’s Unconventional Hollywood Love Story.”
