By Rosy Cordero
It was Olivia Jade Giannulli's turn to sit at the table on Red Table Talk, where she opened up for the first time about the college admissions scandal that rocked Hollywood.
Giannulli's mom, Full House star Lori Loughlin, is currently serving a two-month federal prison sentence for conspiracy to commit honest services mail fraud to influence the admission for Olivia and her sister, Isabella Rose Giannulli, into the University of Southern California by way of bribery. Her fashion designer father, Mossimo Giannulli, is serving a five-month sentence for the same crime.

Felicity Huffman has completed her full sentence for college admissions scandal
By Rachel Yang
Felicity Huffman has completed her full sentence for her involvement in the college admissions scandal. As of Sunday, she has finished her sentence, which included jail time, community service, and supervised release, a source close to the family confirmed to EW. In May, Huffman pleaded guilty to paying a college admissions consultant $15,000 to have a proctor change her daughter Sophia's answers after she took the SAT.
Huffman served 11 of her 14-day jail sentence and was released last October. She was also sentenced to 250 hours of community service and was on supervised release for one year. Huffman was one of many wealthy parents, also including Full House star Lori Loughlin, caught up in the “Operation Varsity Blues” investigation by the FBI and the U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts in 2019.
According to court documents, Huffman agreed to pay William Rick Singer, whose Key Worldwide Foundation hired various people to take tests on behalf of students who had falsified medical forms saying they needed extra time to take their ACT/SAT tests individually. Huffman's husband, actor William H. Macy, was not indicted in the investigation.
At her sentencing hearing in September, Huffman said after her arrest, her daughter Sophia told her, “'I don’t know who you are anymore.' I could only say, ‘I am so sorry, Sophia. I was frightened. I was stupid and I was so wrong.’”After Judge Indira Talwani sentenced her to 14 days, Huffman said in a statement, “I accept the court’s decision today without reservation…I broke the law. I admitted that and I pleaded guilty to this crime. There are no excuses or justifications for my actions. Period.”

Couldn't find a date on those links but other links are dating the "Red Table Talk" interview happening last November so I think their court drama was going on a year ago.
The scheme was apparently wide-spread so I suppose the other "less well-known" who were engaged in it are getting their day in court now.
