Lori Loughlin reportedly 'outraged' after prosecutors release controversial photos of daughters amid bribery scandal

Full House star Lori Loughlin is said to be "outraged and extremely angry" after controversial photos of her daughters on rowing machines were recently released by federal prosecutors. 

The images were shared on April 8 in the ongoing college admissions battle, in which the actress and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, are accused of paying bribes to enrol their daughters into the University of Southern California. The couple are scheduled to stand trial on fraud charges on October 5.

"The pictures are obviously extremely inflammatory and controversial, meant to intimidate Lori because she has refused to take a plea deal," a source sold Us Weekly. "The photos were never submitted to USC as part of the application process. Lori's lawyers will be responding to the photos of the girls on the rowing machine in a legal filing."

In the photos, Loughlin's daughters Isabella Rose, 21, and Olivia Jade, 20, could be seen wearing workout gear while posing on indoor rowing machines. The images were allegedly sent to accused mastermind William 'Rick' Singer to help the girls gain admission into USC as rowing crew recruits. Neither of the girls have ever been involved in rowing, authorities have said. 

According to the court documents, Singer allegedly asked the 55-year-old actress in a 2016 email to supply photos as "it would probably help" the girls into USC. 

But Loughlin isn't the only one left reeling over the latest development. Apparently,Olivia Jade — a YouTube beauty guru who boasts 1.93 million subscribers — was "hysterical" after the images were released as she was trying to "rebuild her brand".

"It brought up all of her old feelings she had right after the scandal broke," a separate source told the outlet. "This has been a tough setback for Olivia."
