"We are no longer working with Lori Loughlin
and have stopped development of all productions that air on the
Crown Media Family Network channels" involving the actress, the
company said in a statement.
Hallmark's announcement follows an earlier one from LVMH's
Sephora beauty chain, which said it was ending its partnership
with Loughlin's daughter, Olivia.
Olivia Giannulli, the 19-year-old daughter of "Full House"
actress Loughlin and designer Mossimo Giannulli, is a social
media "influencer" who goes by the name Olivia Jade online.
Products from her makeup collaboration had been removed from
Sephora's website by Thursday afternoon. It was not immediately
clear whether her products were available in stores.
"After careful review of recent developments, we have made the
decision to end the Sephora Collection partnership with Olivia
Jade, effective immediately," a Sephora representative wrote in
an email on Thursday.
A representative for Olivia Giannulli could not immediately be
reached for comment.
Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli were accused on Tuesday of paying
bribes of $500,000 in a scheme that involved cheating on college
entrance exams to help their daughter and another daughter,
Isabella Giannulli, get into the University of Southern
California, according to court documents.
Loughlin and her husband were taken into federal custody and
later released on separate $1 million bonds on Wednesday.
