John Stamos cries against Lori Loughlin’s ex Mossimo Giannulli over college scandal

Appearing on the “Good Guys” podcast on Monday, Stamos defended her former “Full House” co-star and longtime friend as “a saint” while calling her ex-husband, Mossimo Giannulli, a “terrible narcissist” and “idiot.”

“I’ve known her for forty years and, you know, you can see through people after a few years… this woman is a saint,” he said. “I’m heartbroken for her right now. I really tried to be there for her right now.”

Addressing the scandal directly, he added: “I’m not going to debate whether she had much to do with it or not; I know she didn’t. He dragged her through it.” [and] “She goes to fucking prison for this asshole for three months.”

Stamos and Loughlin are best known for their portrayals of Uncle Jesse and Aunt Becky, respectively, on “Three by Three,” which aired on ABC from 1988 to 1995.

The couple reprized their roles in the Netflix revival series “Fuller House,” which aired from 2016 to 2020.

The same year “Fuller House” ended, Loughlin and Giannulli pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud for their role in “securing the fraudulent admission” of their daughters, Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose, to the University of Southern California.

At the time, prosecutors described Giannulli, a fashion designer, as “the most active participant in the scheme” and noted that Loughlin “took a less active role but was still completely complicit.” Giannulli was sentenced to five months in prison, while Loughlin received a two-month sentence.

Earlier this month, People reported that Giannulli and Loughlin had split after 27 years of marriage.

Stamos has defended Loughlin on previous occasions. “She wasn’t really the architect of any of that,” he told Dax Shepard on a 2022 episode of the “Armchair Expert” podcast. “She didn’t know what was going on.”

Appearing on “Good Guys,” Stamos said Loughlin is “devastated” by the demise of her marriage, noting, “I hate to see her go through this, I really do.”

As for Giannulli, she added, “I pray that he realizes that what he had was everything anyone could want, and that he gets help. He’s a terrible narcissist, and I don’t think he’ll ever get out of it.”
