Brandi Glanville gave back a tweet about her son’s acceptance to USC on Tuesday, which she used to do on a crack comedy at Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman in connection with their convictions in the college admissions scandal.
The 48-year-old reality star initially announced that her eldest son Mason has been accepted into USC, saying: “Amazing news about my baby was accepted at the University of Southern California and I was not even forced to falsify any picture of rowing or bribery anyone, adding heart and hand emojis in prayer.
