T-shirt designer Mossimo Giannulli – accused of bribing his daughters to go to the University of Southern California – explained how he lied to his own parents for that he attends elite school, while collecting their tuition fees.
In the 1980s, Giannulli had convinced his father that he was a student by creating false balance sheets and making false bills pay for fake tuition tickets, according to a profile of 2016 recently resurfaced on the fashion blog " The Hundreds.
"SC was expensive, so that's how I started my business. I used all that money, "Giannulli told the blog.
The article says that Giannulli attended classes and that he lived in a fraternity house at school.
USC confirmed to CNN that Giannulli had attended the spring semester 1984, but not as a fully enrolled student. He attended the College of Continuing Education, a non-degree program open to anyone "without a formal admission requirement". These students earned "visitor status" on campus.
In a March 8 interview on "The Zach Sang Show," Olivia Jade, Giannulli's daughter, spoke of her father's "crazy" time at the university.
"I do not know if I'm supposed to say that, sorry dad. But [he] was like never enrolled in college, he falsified his way through it. Yes, so he started his business with tuition fees that his parents thought were going to the university. "
In that same interview, the beauty blogger said that she was considering using her time at the university to improve her brand.
His parents, Giannulli and his wife, the former "Fuller House" star, Lori Loughlin, pleaded not guilty to the college corruption swindle. They risk up to 40 years in prison for allegedly paying US $ 500,000 for their daughters, Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose, to join USC as fictitious recruits for the crew team.
