On Full House, Lori Loughlin's aunt Becky had her own admission scandal to the school

Lori Loughlin's character was facing a dilemma. Both of her children had the chance to attend an elite school that promised to put their lives on the fast track, but there was only one problem: their request was not quite accurate.

Becky Katsopolis, played by Loughlin, and her husband Jesse (John Stamos) are forced to make the difference between wanting what is best for their children and taking it too far for them to try to make their young twins accept their prestigious kindergarten. When Jesse realizes that his boys will probably not come home, he blatantly lies on the school's request, sending the couple on the path of deception until Becky, known for his caution in the series, puts an end to it. shenanigans. She tells the truth to the administrators, even at the risk of jeopardizing the future of her children.

"I know you want what's best for them, but you know what?" Becky told Jesse towards the end of the episode. "Maybe the fast lane is not that. Nicky and Alex are normal and healthy children. Whatever their title, they seem to be doing well. "

She adds later: "When they are ready to go to kindergarten, we will find the right one and we will do everything we can to encourage them."

More than 20 years later, Loughlin found himself in a surprisingly similar situation, but this time it was real life. In 2016, Loughlin's eldest daughter was preparing to apply for colleges, but Federal prosecutors now claim that instead of leaving things to chance, the actress and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, used bribes to bring their daughter to the house. University of Southern California. They would also have done the same for their other daughter, enrolled at the USC last fall.

Loughlin and Giannulli were among 50 people, including "Desperate Housewives" actress, Felicity Huffman, accused of being involved in a corruption scam that allowed privileged students, who would otherwise have not accepted, attending prestigious colleges and universities, The Washington Post's Devlin Barrett and Matt Zapotosky have reported. The couple are accused of having their daughters admitted to the USC by paying $ 500,000 to be designated as rookies of the university rowing team, while none of them had rowed, according to a criminal complaint.

Representatives of Loughlin and Huffman could not be reached for a comment early Wednesday.

On Tuesday, many "Full House" fans commented that Loughlin's character, better known as "Aunt Becky", seemed to be taking a different approach to admissions to school.

"Maybe #TanteBecky should have followed her own advice", a person tweeted, referring to the season 6 episode "Be faithful to your kindergarten". The episode is available in streaming on Hulu.

The episode scenario involving Becky and Jesse starts with their twin sons on a date of play with another young boy named Cooper. When the conversation between parents begins to enroll their children in a kindergarten, Becky and Jesse learn that Cooper has just been accepted at Button Hall, one of the best kindergartens in the area. On the other hand, as Jesse says, they are still in the "preschool phase" and have not set their sights on schools.

"You better leave," warns Cooper's father. "The most important choice that a parent can make for his child is to choose the right kindergarten."

At Button Hall, kids are put on the "right track," guaranteeing they'll be "on the fast track for life," says the father.

"That's where we want Nicky and Alex," Jesse replies. "The right track, the fast track, the zoom."

The camera is panning to show the three boys playing on the grass. Nicky and Alex emit incomprehensible baby sounds and throw pieces of grass in the air. Meanwhile, Cooper built a pretty impressive block tower and began reciting the ABCs. Jesse observes, his expression becoming more and more discouraged.

Later, Jesse faces another sign that Button Hall may not be as well suited to his sons when he sits down to examine the school's impressive application form.

"It's a great kindergarten," says his friend Joey Gladstone, played by Dave Coulier. "I could not go and I was 14 years old."

The twins will probably not go either, says Jesse, referring to an application question asking the parent to evaluate "the scope of your child's verbal skills". Jesse notes that his sons talk a lot when the boys babble incoherently in the background. but "it's not always in English."

"Perfect, answer that they are bilingual," suggests Joey. "They speak two languages: English and gibberish."

At first, Jesse refuses to lie about the application, but then changes opinion.

"I am their father," he says. "If I do not lie for them, who will?"

Jesse's lies seem to be paying off as Becky, out of breath, who is not unaware that the claim was falsified, tells her that the boys, now bilingual and able to play bassoon, have given an interview to the school. It is only when they arrive at school that he cleans up with his wife in order to convince her to follow his plan.

"On the application that I have perhaps, what is the word that I seek, I may have embellished a little," he admits, reassuring a Becky alarmed by the fact that it was "amounts tiny. . . just a little bit."

But as more and more lies are revealed to Becky throughout the painfully awkward meeting, she quickly reaches her limits.

"We have to be honest, well, I have to be honest," she said, interrupting the school administrator. "He may have embellished, lied a bit about our application."

It turns out that the school has always had suspicions, because "not too many 2-year-olds are fluent in the bassoon," says the administrator, but surprisingly, she lets pass the Interview interview. "It only shows that you want the best for your boys."

The end of the episode finds a frustrated Jesse who tries to practice letters and forms with his sons, who do not seem at all interested in what they learn. One of the sons even throws a plastic block at his father's head.

"I think the boys are trying to tell us something," Becky said before gently reminding Jesse that the place where their children go to school does not matter or the track they end up on.

"I just want them to be happy," Jesse says as he holds one of the twins, who can not help but laugh.

"Well, they look pretty happy for me," Becky answers.

On social media, people claims the episode announced Tuesday the news of the university admission scam.

An old Loughlin interview also resurfaced, in which she was talking about wanting her daughters to go to college.

"I want them to be happy," she told "Entertainment Tonight" in 2016. "I want to support everything they want to do, but I want them to have a a little normal life. [life]. Finish high school, my college experience, maybe because I did not have it, I really want it for them.

Others, however, have been shocked that the woman who embodies one of the healthiest characters on television can be charged with a crime. A mandate is would have for the arrest of Loughlin.

It did not take long for the initial surprise to fade away and be replaced by a deluge of jokes and memes at the "Full House".

One person even went so far as to create a new version of the catchy theme song of the show, "Everywhere You Look."

Here is a sample of the revised lyrics:

What happened to a meritocracy?

Class rank, GPA, even SAT.

Wherever you look, (everywhere)

There is fraud (there is fraud)

A school to pay bribes to.

Some savvy users resurrected from other episodes that, in their opinion, had become relevant again.
