Lori and Mossimo pleaded guilty to attempted fraud after they paid $500,000 to have their two daughters incorrectly listed as crew recruits to get them accepted into the University of Southern California. Lori was sentenced to two months jail time, Mossimo served close to five months. 

“With the college scandal…I’m not going to debate whether she had much to do with it or not. I know she didn’t,” said John. “He dragged her through that…and she goes to f***ing prison for this asshole.”

During the podcast John also spoke on Lori and Mossimo’s recent separation.

“All of a sudden they’re split up and I know she’s just devastated,” he said. “For a girl who has lived her life really well, [is] a good person, a good mother, a good wife…to be thrown into this separation… I just hate to see her go through this.”

When asked about the rumours that Mossimo cheated on Lori, John said he’s “taking a fifth on that.” 

“Whatever he did to her, it busted her up to the core,” he added.  “She put up with a lot over the years with this guy…she is an angel and she always made things better.”

“Look, he’s a very successful dude,” John continued. “I will never talk to him again. He’s a terrible narcissist, and I don’t think you ever get out of that.”

It’s not the first time John, who once famously called Lori ‘the one that got away,’ has defended her role in the college scandal. 

In 2022 John shared similar views during an appearance on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast.

“She wasn’t really the architect of any of it. She was in the way background. She didn’t know what was going on,” he claimed, before reinforcing his belife that people should forgive Lori following her sentence. 

“She also paid a lot of money,” he continued. “She set up a college fund for kids and she went to f***ing jail, man.”
