Earlier this week, we reported that former “Fuller House” star Lori Loughlin had been released from prison after serving two months for her role in the college admissions scandal. This did not sit well with Janet Hubert, best known for playing the original “Aunt Viv” on the beloved sitcom “Fresh Prince Of Bel Air.”

After it was revealed that Loughlin had been released from prison, Hubert took to Twitter to unload on the actress for her “privilege.”

“So when white actresses commit crimes they get new shows, pilots, etc. Lori Loughlin …I assume, will get an Emmy for her time in prison. Hmmmm…oh to be white, blond, and privileged! No thanks I would rather be bold, black, and dignified!” Hubert tweeted, adding the hashtag “#onlyinamerikkka.”

 

Hubert was likely referring to the fact that former “Desperate Housewives” star Felicity Huffman has scored a new pilot for ABC after she served time for her own role in the college admissions scandal last year.

Hubert later doubled down on Wednesday by comparing Loughlin’s two month prison sentence to the five year one given to Connecticut mother Tanya McDowell, who plead guilty to charges related to her enrolling her son in Norwalk schools even though she lives in Bridgeport, according to Fox News.

“There is a black woman that is serving 5 years for just using a different address to put her child in a better school. Those who are coming angry for my tweet…I will meet you at the door,” Hubert tweeted. “SNL used my photo when talking about this school mess, I was NOT amused. #donnottestme.”

When one fan expressed agreement with Hubert, she responded, “There are many white parents who are pissed as well. College is expensive and hard to get in. We have to start really pushing back. College should be free anyway.”

Loughlin was sentenced to two months behind bars earlier this year after she pled guilty to charges related to her paying $500,000 in bribe money to have her two daughters admitted to the University of Southern California as members of the crew team, even though neither girl had ever rowed before. Her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, is currently serving five months in prison for his role in the same crime.
