Mossimo Giannulli Was Denied Early Release

Back in December, a mere month into his 5-month sentence for his role in the college admissions scandal, Mossio Giannulli, a high ranking member of the notorious Giannulli-Loghlin crime family, told his jailers he didn’t like it in prison and was afraid he might have or might catch COVID-19. So Mossimo was placed in protective isolation but the conditions there did not suit him either. So Mossimo asked if he could just go ahead and serve out the rest of his time at home. He’s since tested negative for the virus, and been released back into the general population where presumably the wifi is stronger. In a cruel twist of fate, it was just in time for him to see his daughter Olivia Jade’s return to YouTube for what it was, a desperate cry for help. Sadly, the judge has decided against Mossimo’s request for “compassionate release.” Now there is no one who can intercede to stop his lily white daughter from posting captions like “i do be missing that summer glow” on Instagram.

According to Variety:

A judge on Tuesday denied fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli’s request to get out of prison early, ruling that his case does not meet the extraordinary circumstances required for compassionate release.

Giannulli, the husband of actress Lori Loughlin, is serving a five-month sentence at the federal facility in Lompoc, Calif., for his role in the college admissions scandal. He reported to prison in mid-November.

Earlier this month, his attorneys asked that Giannulli be allowed to serve the remainder of his sentence on home confinement. They noted that Giannulli had been placed in isolation for nearly two months, as the prison sought to contain the spread of COVID-19.

Mossimo’s attorney’s had argued that the isolation period had “taken a toll” on his “mental, physical and emotional well-being” and that “his incarceration was far more severe than first anticipated.” What, was the masseuse not to his liking? Bruno Tha Busta may not be “certified” but I hear he has a wonderfully light touch when it comes to Shiatsu. Don’t let the knuckle-cracking scare you off, Mossimo. Bruno’s former cellie was a fellow at the Esalen Institute! Here’s what the judge had to say when denying Mossimo’s request.

“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,” Gorton wrote.

Giannulli is due for release in April.

You got this, Mossimo! Before you know it, you’ll be sharing a Corona Light with Olivia and laughing about that crazy time you and Lori went to prison over thinking she could manage to hack it for even a single semester at USC knowing she can’t even convincingly hold a pen!
