Lori Loughlin’s crew has her back.
The former “Full House” star has a fast-approaching date, in which she must report to prison to serve a two-month sentence for her role in the college admissions scandal, but in the meantime, Loughlin appears to be making the most of her freedom by staying connected to her former costars.
Bob Saget, 67, told Page Six in an interview published on Friday that he texted the 56-year-old “a couple weeks ago.”
The message he sent Loughlin, 56, was straight and to the point.
