"Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" alum Brandi Glanville announced celebratory news on Tuesday at the expense of Lori Loughlin.
Glanville took to Twitter to announce her son 17-year-old Mason has been accepted into the University of Southern California.
"Amazing news my baby got accepted to the University of Southern California and I didn’t even have to fake any rowing pictures or bribe anyone," Glanville tweeted.
Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, were two high-profile individuals involved in the national college admissions scandal that exposed the rich and famous engaging in illegal schemes to cheat on standardized tests and buy their kids into some of the country's top schools.

Glanville's tweet received attention from fellow Bravo star Heather Dubrow, who responded on Twitter, "Congrats !!! THAT IS AMAZING @BrandiGlanville ! Although you'd look good in orange."
Other Twitter users, however, were divided on Glanville's jab at Loughlin. Some criticized the former reality TV star for using her son's accomplishment to poke fun at Loughlin, while others saw no harm in her doing so.
"You can’t just be proud of your son for his accomplishment without jabbing other people..grow up. Congrats to your son for his hard work," one person wrote.
"That’s great about your child getting into college but why stain a positive commentary in negative reference along with your congratulations. Looks like this is not the first time," another agreed.
"this would have been so sweet just had to add something petty in," another tweeted.
