Lori’s still ‘full’ of privilege

-

LEBRON James called out Lori Loughlin’s upcoming prison term on Friday, one day after it was revealed that the “Full House” alum can serve two months behind bars at her desired facility in California.

Loughin, 56, who was sentenced last month for her involvemen­t in the collegeadm­issions scandal, had her request approved to serve at “a facility closest to her home in CA, preferably the camp at FCI Victorvill­e,” per court documents. James later took to Instagram to express his frustratio­ns over the ruling.

“Of her what!!??? I’m laughing cause sometimes you have to just to stop from crying!” the Los Angeles Lakers superstar posted to his page, sharing a screenshot of a Vanity Fair article, “Lori Loughlin will get to serve her two-month sentence at prison of her choice.”

“Don’t make no damn sense to me. We just want the same treatment if committed of same crime that’s all. Is that asking for to much??? Let me guess, it is huh. Yeah I know!! We’ll just keep pushing forward and not expecting the handouts! STRONG, BLACK & POWERFUL!,” James continued.

James’ post, which amassed more than 1.5 million “likes,” ignited a storm of responses in the comments, including a message from Viola Davis: “Whaaaaattt­t???!!! Uhh . . . is it punishment if you get to choose? Is she going to choose her meal?” Davis wrote.

Although Loughlin must turn herself in and surrender at the facility by 2 p.m. on Nov. 19, the Bureau of Prisons has the final stamp of approval in regard to her request.

In May, Loughlin and husband Mossimo Giannulli agreed to cop to conspiracy charges for paying $500,000 to get their daughters Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose into the University of Southern California as rowing recruits, despite neither being part of the sport. Giannulli was sentenced to five months, will pay a $250,000 fine and must complete 250 hours of community service.
