Get your sympathy cards out for Lori Loughlin!
RadarOnline.com has learned The Hallmark Channel, the entertainment arm of Hallmark Cards, Inc, is dumping the TV star in the wake of allegations she scammed her daughter’s way into college.
“We are saddened by the recent news surrounding the college admissions allegations.," a statement from the network read. "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 Lori Loughlin."
Loughlin starred in several Hallmark feel-good movies and shows, including Garage Sale Mysteries, an independent third-party production.
As RadarOnline.com previously revealed, Loughlin, 54, was recently arrested in a nationwide college admissions cheating scam. The former Full House star is alleged to have paid bribes to help get her daughter, Olivia Jade, into college. She was released from jail as part of a $1 million bond agreement, which may now be in jeopardy.

As part of the agreement, a judge had granted Loughlin permission to travel to British Columbia, Canada, because of ongoing Hallmark projects she had there until October. Now, with those jobs gone, prosecutors could ask that the fired actress turn over her passport now instead of the December date the judge approved.
Her next appearance in court is scheduled for March 29 in Boston.
Loughlin's daughter, Olivia, was dumped from her partnership with Sephora as a result of the scandal, and the social media influencer is at risk of losing other sponsorships.
