Felicity Huffman is opening up about her involvement in the college admissions scandal!
In her first interview since the ordeal, the Desperate Housewives alum spoke to ABC-7 Eyewitness News on Thursday. She revealed why she got involved in the criminal conspiracy. As we all know, many wealthy parents, including Lori Loughlin, were convicted of bribery, cheating, and other forms of fraud for tricking the system into getting their kids into elite colleges.
The scheme, known by the feds as Operation Varsity Blues, was run by mastermind William “Rick” Singer, who forged the results of Felicity’s daughter’s SAT exam. Explaining how she agreed to this, the actress said:
Damn! This was really a long game for him. And it’s so sad she believed her own child wouldn’t be able to get into any schools!

Once Rick planted this seed, the 60-year-old couldn’t shake the idea, she continued:
She added:
Oof. Understanding what she was doing was wrong, she didn’t tell her daughter Sophia what was happening — even though she was wracked with guilt before dropping her off at the SAT exam, saying:
The Georgia Rule star paid the faux college admissions expert $15,000 for the results of her child’s test to be falsified. But, of course, she didn’t get away with it. Months later, she recalled:
Showing up at gunpoint over a cheating scandal?! That’s INTENSE! Despite getting handcuffed on the spot, she “thought it was a hoax,” adding:
Wow! She ultimately pleaded guilty in court and served 11 days of her 14-day prison sentence in October 2019. She also completed her court-ordered 250 hours of community service and supervised release for one year the following October.
