Last month, Lori Loughlin was officially sentenced to two months in prison for her role in the college admissions scandal. With a month and a half to go before she is due to start her sentence on November 19, a source has now come forward to reveal how she is doing.

The insider explained that Loughlin intends to spend the next six weeks with the people who are closest to her.

“Lori seems to really be leaning on her family and spending a lot of time at home right now,” a source told Hollywood Life. “She’s trying to lay as low as possible before the prison sentence. Of course she’s nervous and scared, but who wouldn’t be?”

Loughlin is set to serve out her sentence at the same medium security correction facility at Victorville where Dance Moms star Abby Lee Miller did time for fraud before being released in 2018. However, the source said that Loughlin will likely not be contacting Miller to ask about her experience at the facility.

“It seems unlikely she’d reach out to former “Dance Moms” star Abby Lee Miller for advice just because she’s not wanting to talk to many people right now,” the insider explained. “She can’t wait for it to be over.”

“She seems to know the pandemic has favored her being able to be secluded,” the source continued. “She’s got her girls and husband and is just keeping to herself until this is over. Her former co-stars have reached out. They’re a family and have just let her know they’re there but she hasn’t really wanted to talk about it. She wants to be able to live her life normally again so she wants this just behind her as quickly and painlessly as possible.”

Loughlin and her husband, designer Mossimo Giannulli, were sentenced to two and five months respectively in prison for paying $500,000 in bribe money to have their two daughters admitted to the University of Southern California as members of the crew team, even though neither girl had ever rowed before. During her sentencing in August, Loughlin became emotional as she addressed the judge.

“I made an awful decision. I went along will the plan to give my daughters an unfair advantage in the college admissions process,” Loughlin said. “In doing so, I ignored my intuition and allowed myself to be swayed from my moral compass. I thought I was acting out of love for my children, but in reality, I had only undermined and diminished my daughters’ abilities and accomplishments.”

“While I wish I could go back and do things differently, I can only take responsibility and move forward,” she added. “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 and give back for the rest of my life.”
