SALT LAKE CITY — A video from MSNBC shows that Lori Loughlin isn’t trying to answer your questions about the college admissions scandal.
The video, which you can watch below, shows Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli storming away from the federal courthouse in Boston last Tuesday after their court hearing, which was connected to the college admissions scandal.

Loughlin and Giannulli are accused of paying $500,000 in bribes so that their daughters, social media stars Olivia Jade and Isabella Giannulli, could be team crew recruits for the University of Southern California despite never having participated in the sport. Loughlin and Giannulli pleaded not guilty back in April.
But Loughlin and Giannulli attended a court hearing in late August to answer questions from a judge — which reportedly centered around potential drug and alcohol use — and confirm that they still wanted to be involved in the case.
Loughlin slipped into the courthouse from the back door, as the Deseret News reported. She avoided all media questions as well, slipping past fans who were waiting for her outside to cheer her on.

In the MSNBC video, Loughlin and Giannulli storm past the cameras, avoiding any interactions.
As the Deseret News reported, this is a big difference from Loughlin’s first court appearance in which she pleaded not guilty. She showed up to the court house smiling, wearing flashy sunglasses and talking to her fans who showed up to champion her.
