American actor John Stamos has voiced his support for “Full House” co-star Lori Loughlin, who is embroiled in a college admissions scandal.
During her appearance on the “Armchair Expert” podcast, she noted that Loughlin has shown remorse for her actions, adding that she has made some financial and other restitution.
Stamos also shared that Loughlin didn’t really know the details of the illegal entry process.

Speaking on the “Armchair Expert” podcast, Stamos discussed with host Dax Shepard how challenging it was to support Loughlin because of the public’s opinion of her since the college admissions scandal.
“We talked yesterday about you. It’s something you say about how you hate it when people bring it up because if you defend it, then people get mad,” the 59-year-old said on Monday’s episode of the podcast.
He added, “If you don’t defend him, then you feel bad because he’s a great person.”
For his part, Stamos believes that Loughlin has shown remorse for his involvement in the scandal. He also stated that the actress has made several returns and therefore should be cut a little.
The actor said, “He also paid a lot of money. He’s setting up a college fund for kids, and he’s going to the king’s jail, man.”

At the height of the admissions scandal, Stamos told GQ that he was struggling to come to terms with Loughlin’s alleged role in the widespread fraud.
“I’ll tell you one thing that’s weird is: I honestly can’t think of it. It doesn’t make sense,” he told men’s magazine at the time, per US Weekly.
The Emmy Award winner now seems to have some clarity on the scandal, as she insists that Loughlin was unaware of much of the process involved in trying to gain illegal admission for her daughters, Bella, 24, and Olivia Jade, 23, into the University of Southern California.
“I was going to say this, and he said I could. He’s not really an architect of any kind — he’s in the background. He doesn’t know what’s going on.”

Likewise, her husband was ordered to pay a $250,000 fine and also participate in 250 hours of community service as self-reparation.
Per US Weeklythe actor also “personally arranged to put two students through four years of college” and reportedly paid over $500,000 for their tuition and expenses.

She was brought on to star as Abigail Staton in the second season of the spin-off series “When Hope Calls,” a role she first played in the parent series, “When Calls the Heart,” before being dropped amid the scandal.
The actress will also play the lead role in the upcoming January release “Fall Into Winter.” The rom-com centers on her character Keely, who learns that Brooks, her high school rival, bought half of the family’s candy store from her brother.
With no clear way out of the deal, the pair are forced to hang out with each other and end up building an unexpected relationship.
