Netflix Drops New Teaser for College Admissions Scandal Documentary 'Operation Varsity Blues' - Watch!

A new trailer for Netflix’s new documentary Operation Varsity Blues has been released!

The streaming service has just released a teaser trailer for the movie, which will debut on March 17, 2021.

It offers an inside look into the 2019 college admissions scandal and focuses on the ringleader, Rick Singer, and the methods that he used to get his wealthy clients’ children into top schools.

The documentary is directed by Chris Smith, who is known for directing Fyre, the documentary about the failed music festival Fyre Festival and its creator Billy McFarland, as well as his work as an executive producer on Tiger King.

Among the high-profile clients implicated in the scandal were Full House actress Lori Loughlin and her fashion designer husband Mossimo Giannulli, as well as Desperate Housewives star Felicity Huffman.

Lori and Mossimo were charged with conspiracy to commit federal programs bribery, as well as money laundering conspiracy charges, conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, and honest services mail and wire fraud.

Lori was sentenced to two months in prison and was released in December 2020, while Mossimo received a sentence of five months which he is currently still serving.

Felicity served just under two weeks in prison for committing mail fraud and honest services mail fraud and was released in October 2019.

The documentary will reportedly use a combination of interviews and narrative recreations of the FBI’s wiretapped conversations between Rick and his clients.

Lori Loughlin to Get Her Passport Back After Completing Prison Sentence

Lori Loughlin is now free to travel.

Last week, the 56-year-old Full House actress filed court documents asking to get her passport back.

A federal judge in Massachusetts has granted Lori‘s request on Tuesday (February 16), Page Six reports.

In her initial filing, Lori‘s lawyers noted that she has completed her two-month prison sentence and has paid the court-imposed $150,000. She is now working on completing her 100 hours of community service.

Lori had to surrender her passport to the U.S. Pretrial Services in March 2019 after she was charged amid the college admissions scandal. Lori and husband Mossimo Giannulli pled guilty to paying $500,000 to have their children admitted to the University of Southern California using fraudulent athletic resumes.

The 57-year-old designer is currently in the middle of his five-month prison sentence. Last month, Mossimo filed a request to be released early, but he was denied.

Lori Loughlin's Husband Mossimo Giannulli Denied Early Prison Release

Lori Loughlin‘s husband, Mossimo Giannulli, isn’t getting out of prison early.

The fashion designer, who is currently serving a five-month sentence in California for his role in the college admissions scandal, was denied his request to get out of prison early on Tuesday (January 26) by a judge, Variety reported.

The judge ruled that his case does not meet the extraordinary circumstances required for compassionate release. He first entered prison in mid-November.

Earlier this month, his attorneys asked that for him to be allowed to serve the remainder of his sentence at home, saying he was put into isolation for nearly two months as the prison sought to contain COVID-19.

They added that isolation has taken a toll on his “mental, physical and emotional well-being.” He was released to the general population in January after repeatedly testing negative.

Judge Nathaniel Gorton denied the motion on Tuesday.

“Although the Court recognizes the danger associated with COVID-19 and the particular risk of transmission in penitentiary facilities, the fear of COVID-19 alone, without more, is insufficient to warrant release,” the judge wrote. He is due for release in April.

Lori was released in December after serving a two-month sentence. The couple pled guilty to paying $500,000 to have their children admitted to the University of Southern California using fraudulent athletic resumes.
