Lori Loughlin's daughter 'extremely concerned' her parents are going to get divorced: report

Trouble in paradise?

As Lori Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, continue to navigate the college admissions scandal that imploded their lives earlier this year, the "Fuller House" actress' friends are reportedly urging her to leave the Target designer.

Us Weekly reports that "her friends think she should leave him," noting that the couple has reportedly disagreed on several major decisions related to their case, which could result in 40 years behind bars.

The first thing they disagreed over, according to sources, was rejecting a plea deal that they were offered this spring -- the same one that fellow defendant Felicity Huffman agreed to. Apparently, if Loughling had had it her way, the couple would've accepted the deal.

"Lori was included to take the deal, but Mossimo said it would ruin both of their careers," a source told Us. Because they didn't agree to the deal, which would've guaranteed some amount of jail time, the couple of over 20 years was slapped with additional charges and now faces more time.

Additionally, to get to their most recent court appearance in Boston at the end of August, Loughlin and Giannulli took a private jet from Los Angeles, which was something that "the couple was advised by their lawyers not to do." While Loughlin, 55, agreed, her husband "insisted, saying it would be a 'zoo' if they flew commercial."

Indeed the scenes outside of both of their court appearances this year have been unruly media circuses, which some would argue were somewhat encouraged by Loughlin: The actress made waves by signing autographs for fans in Boston before her first court hearing in April, and she was also criticized for her "somewhat awkward display" inside the courtroom, with her upbeat demeanor raising more than a few eyebrows.

Additionally, her glamorous look that she rocked as she smiled on her way into the courtroom that day is something that she wishes she hadn't done.

"Lori regrets wearing the khaki pantsuit and smiling so much on her way into court," an insider told Us Weekly back in May. "But she didn't want to walk into the courthouse looking ashamed and guilty. She believes she's innocent and she wouldn't have pled not guilty if she didn't think she wasn't guilty."

As she began to recognize that she made a few mistakes in her first hearing, Loughlin reportedly turned to an image consultant ahead of her appearance in late August, for which she opted to wear a much more conservative ensemble and had a noticeably more serious look on her face as she entered the courthouse.

"She spoke to an image consultant who carefully curated her outfit for her most recent court date," a source said. "And she tried to sneak into the back of the courtroom. There’s real fear there. She’s taking some responsibility."

So, as she butts heads with her husband over key decisions and reports emerge that "her friends don't like" her husband, is Loughlin considering leaving him?

Even though "their daughter Bella is extremely concerned they're going to get divorced," sources say that "Lori refuses and says the ordeal has made them stronger."
