Lori Loughlin is reportedly feeling unsettled ahead of the release of Netflix’s documentary on the college admissions scandal.

Operation Varsity Blues, which debuts Wednesday on the streaming service, chronicles the FBI’s investigation into the 2019 scam that snuck the kids of the rich and famous into top U.S. universities.

As part of her role in the scandal, Loughlin paid $500,000 to mastermind William Rick Singer to get her daughters admitted into the University of Southern California.

Loughlin served two months in prison after pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and one count of honest services mail fraud. She was also ordered to pay a $150,000 fine and serve 100 hours of community service.

Loughlin is “concerned” about the new Netflix documentary, a source told Entertainment Tonight, adding that “she wants nothing more than for time to pass so people won’t be talking about the college scandal anymore.”

Loughlin’s husband, Mossimo Giannulli, was sentenced to five months in prison, as well as a $250,000 fine and 250 hours of community service.

“Lori has missed Mossimo while he’s been away. She is looking forward to him coming home to have some semblance of a normal life,” said ET’s source, adding that the actress is also “excited to work again.”

Loughlin, who was released from prison in December, is “just so relieved to be home” with her daughters, Bella, 22, and Olivia Jade, 21, noted the source.

“She’s spending a lot of time with them,” the insider shared. “They’re all on the same page in that they are all ready to move on. She’s so incredibly proud of her daughters’ abilities to get past this, and she’s thrilled they’ve been volunteering and helping in the community.”

Olivia Jade broke her silence on the scandal in December during an interview on Jada Pinkett Smith’s Facebook Watch show Red Table Talk, acknowledging that her family made a “big mistake.”

As for when Loughlin will publicly speak out, the source said she’s “been offered many opportunities” to share her experience in interviews, “but she can’t seem to find the right words.”

“She fears no matter what she says, people can’t get past this,” the source added. “At this point, she just wants to move forward and focus on the positive.”
