Lori Loughlin– AKA “Aunt Becky”– arrived to her court hearing all smiles. She even signed autographs for fans. It’s really gross. She’s not expressing any kind of regret or embarrassment for bribing colleges and screwing over other kids who actually deserved to get into the schools in the process.

Seriously gross.
Now, I don’t regularly watch “The View,” and I’m not a huge fan of Meghan McCain. However, she’s usually the only voice of reason on the show, and her assessment of Loughlin’s appearance was pretty spot on.
“As someone who loves a party bus … she arrived to court in a party bus with her lawyers,” McCain said. “I thought that was weird. Then she’s getting out and waving and smiling. It’s like, you did a heinous crime. We don’t know the ramifications, and you’re acting like it’s a red carpet. It’s amazing and so far off from the seriousness of this case, and I think it offended so many people.”
“Part of the problem is, [Loughlin’s] become the face of everything, culturally, we hate about white privilege. ‘I can buy my kids’ way into college, I can spend $500,000,” she said.
Eh– that’s the only part I would disagree with. This isn’t about “white privilege.” This is “celebrity privilege” or “Hollywood privilege.” Call it whatever you want, but it’s not a white thing. It’s everything we hate about the entitled idiots in Hollywood.
“You’re talking about other kids who didn’t get the seat at the school after working really hard because you did something illegal. You gamed the system,” Sonny Hostin added.
Exactly. But again– it’s not a “white privilege” thing, and I think it was kind of irresponsible for McCain to describe it in that sense. This is about entitled celebrities and their Hollywood privilege. Don’t get it twisted.
