Actress Lori Loughlin was all smiles ahead of her court appearance in connection to the $25 million college-admissions scandal in Boston on Wednesday.

The “Fuller House” actress greeted fans after touching down at Boston Logan International Airport on Tuesday and signed autographs for her supporters.

On Wednesday Loughlin, who is one of dozens of parents accused of paying bribes of up to $6.5 million to get their children into top universities, waved to the press and fans outside federal court in Boston.

She smiled as she told a New York Post reporter “I’m great” as she walked in, despite onlookers shouting “pay my tuition.”

People on social media called Loughlin out for her apparently jovial attitude, with some describing her response to criminal charges as “iconic,” and others saying she acted inappropriately.
