date fast approaching, the

actress and her family are trying

to put on a united front — but

behind closed doors, not all is

forgiven. The spouses are

accused of paying a $500,

bribe to get their daughters,

Isabella Rose, 20, and Olivia

Jade, 19, designated as USC

rowing team recruits so they’d

be accepted into the school, and

the fallout from the scandal has

dynamic. While Lori — who,

along with Mossimo, pleaded

not guilty to the charges

— was once solely focused on

saving face, an insider says

she’s now making it a priority

to repair the damage she’s done

at home. “She’s started to care

less about what the public

thinks of her and is more

concerned with being there for

her girls and her husband,” says

the insider. “She’s been trying

harder to show them she cares

and is sorry they’re distressed.”

Her change in attitude seems to

be working. On July 28, both of

Lori’s daughters returned from

their mom a happy birthday, and

a second source claimed the

family threw her a “low-key”

get-together, where everyone

seemed to be in good spirits.

“The girls are still upset but

they’ve pledged to be there for

their parents,” the first insider

explains. “They know they all

have to stick together — there’s

strength in numbers.”

CALM &

CARRY ON

On July 30, Lori and Mossimo

went shopping, as the pair are

trying to maintain a sense of

normalcy until the trial.

“Right now, they’re just in

limbo,” said the

source.
