Earlier this week, we reported that former “Fuller House” actress Lori Loughlin had been approved by a judge to serve her two month prison sentence for her role in the college admissions scandal at a cushy prison that offers yoga and pilates classes. Now, NBA legend LeBron James is speaking out to slam Loughlin and the situation that she is in.
Fox News reported that James took to social media to post a screenshot of Loughlin and a recent Vanity Fair article that was titled “Lori Loughlin will get to serve her two-month sentence at the prison of her choice.”
“Of her what,” James wrote alongside a series of exclamation points and question marks. “I’m laughing cause sometimes you have to just to stop from crying! 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 [too] much,” he added. “Let me guess, it is huh. Yeah I know!! We’ll just keep pushing forward and not expecting the handouts! STRONG, BLACK & POWERFUL!”
Many social media users left comments agreeing with James.
“Whaaaaatttt???!!! Uhh….is it punishment if you get to choose,” Academy Award-winning actress Viola Davis commented. “Is she going to choose her meal program, too??!!”
“Must be nice,” wrote Internet personality Yung Taco, AKA Travis Bennett.
Last month, Loughlin was sentenced to two months in federal prison and 100 hours of community service for allegedly 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.
Loughlin has asked to serve out her sentence at the “Satellite Camp” of the Federal Correctional Institution in Victorville, and Judge Nathaniel Gorton has already approved the request. The facilities’ inmate handbook states that this camp offers yoga, pilates and origami, as well as music lessons, including classes in saxophone, accordion, or ukulele.
On top of that, the facility offers cartoon drawing, crochet, leather craft and ceramics. Since her acting career is on the rocks, Loughlin can use her time in prison to learn a new career, including how to drive a forklift, repair bicycles or be a dental assistant.
“Recreation programs are to provide gainful use of free time and to fulfill specific inmate’s needs,” the handbook states.
