Former “Fuller House” star Lori Loughlin was released from prison early Monday morning after serving two months for her role in the college admissions scandal.

A spokesperson at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) in Dublin, California confirmed to Fox News that Loughlin has indeed been released. The actress 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.

“I made an awful decision. I went along with a plan to give my daughters an unfair advantage in the college admissions process and in doing so I ignored my intuition and allowed myself to be swayed from my moral compass,” Loughlin said during her sentencing. “I have great faith in God, and I believe in redemption and I will do everything in my power to redeem myself and use this experience as a catalyst to do good.”

Earlier this month, Loughlin’s 20 year-old daughter Olivia Jade admitted that she was “embarrassed” and “ashamed” when she first learned of what her mother and father, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, had done.

“It’s been hard, I think, for anybody,” she admitted. “No matter what the situation is, you don’t want to see your parents go to prison. But I think it’s necessary for us to move on and move forward.”

Giannulli is currently serving a five month prison sentence for his own role in the college admissions scandal.

“I think that what hasn’t been super public is that there is no justifying or excusing what happened because what happened was wrong,” Olivia added. “And I think every single person in my family can be like, ‘That was messed up. That was a big mistake.’ But I think what’s so important to me is to learn from the mistake, not to now be shamed and punished and never given a second chance because I’m 21. I feel like I deserve a second chance to redeem myself, to show I’ve grown.”

Sources have said that Loughlin, 56, kept to herself as much as possible in prison because she was afraid of contracting COVID-19. While she was allegedly “weepy” on her first night in prison, a source said that she quickly settled into a routine and regularly attended church services while also forming “several” friendships with her fellow inmates.

It remains to be seen whether or not Loughlin will ever be able to resume her career in Hollywood.
