Perhaps signaling Lori Loughlin’s acceptance back into the Hollywood fold, the disgraced “Full House” star joined Oprah Winfrey, Sharon Stone and Whoopi Goldberg and other celebrities on a Los Angeles-based telethon over the weekend, talking about her weekly commitment to delivering food to people in need since leaving federal prison.
Loughlin, 57, was a featured guest on KTLA’s “Lead with Love 3 telethon” to promote the Project Angel Food nonprofit in Los Angeles. Once known for her wholesome Aunt Becky image, Loughlin became tearful on the telethon as she talked about “people who have hit a low in their life.” It is the first on-air statement she’s made since serving two months in the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin in late 2020 for her role in the college admissions scandal.
“It is a community, it is a family, and all the people that work here are just so wonderful. They have welcomed me with such open arms at a time when I was feeling particularly down and broken,” said Loughlin, wearing the bright blue T-shirt with the Project Angel Food logo.
