“I feel women are strong. We have babies, we do it all," she added. "I’m sure whatever outcome it is, I’m sure she’ll be fine with it."
Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, are accused of arranging a total collective payment of $500,000 to scam mastermind William “Rick” Singer to get their daughters recruited to USC as athletes on the crew team, despite never rowing in the sport.
