The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, Brandi Granville, shaded Lori Loughlin and others in the college admissions scandal in a tweet by congratulating her son for getting into college without having to bribe anyone. Brandi is known for her unfiltered point of view that often gets her in trouble. The mother of two clearly does not care about what others have to say about her as she says whatever is on her mind.
Brandi was introduced to the viewers of the Bravo reality series, in 2011, as a friend of Adrienne Maloof. From the moment she stepped on screen, Brandi was a target for the women on the show. They would always call her out for her inappropriate behavior when she was only being herself. Brandi started to become the bad guy after she befriended Lisa Vanderpump and became her little puppet. Since leaving the show, Brandi has been trying to get back on, but it doesn't look like she will be re-offered an opportunity anytime soon.
On Tuesday, Brandi tweeted that her eldest son was accepted into a California university without the help of his parents, seemingly throwing shade at Lori Loughlin and other celebrities involved in the college admissions scandal. "Amazing news my baby got accepted to the University of Southern California and I didn’t even have to fake any rowing pictures or bribe anyone," the 48-year-old said in her tweet. She realized later she made a mistake in her tweet and updated her followers that her son did not get into USC, but a university in Southern California. Brandi received several messages congratulating her on her son's achievement, including former Real Housewives of Orange County star Heather Dubrow. "Congrats !!! THAT IS AMAZING @BrandiGlanville! Although you’d look good in orange," she replied.
Brandi's joke comes two years after the scandal made headlines. Lori Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, were arrested for paying $500,000 in bribes so their daughters, Olivia Jade and Bella, would be accepted into USC as recruits of the rowing team, even though they did not participate in the sport. A year later, staged pictures of Lori's daughters on the machines were released by a federal prosecutor. Lori was sentenced to two months in prison, while and her husband is still serving his sentence. Actress Felicity Huffman was also involved in the scandal for paying $15,000 to inflate her daughter’s SAT scores. She only served two weeks in prison.
Even though Brandi is no longer apart of RHOBH, she is still making headlines for her unfiltered jokes and opinions. If she's not joking about giving Armie Hammer her rib cage, she's bringing an old scandal back to the forefront of the news. Plus, her joke referencing the college admissions scandal was not only quite funny but accurate.
