DO YOUR DAMN JOB!!!!
SOMEBODY DO THE RIGHT THING BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!!
Wow. Imagine thinking you have to break the law to give your already privileged daughter, a future. I grew up on a small family farm. My parents didn't have much, but I was smart and worked hard and even skipped a grade in the one room schoolhouse I attended (in the middle of a field on the Canadian Prairies~ pre-computer). I went for a year to an unprestigious university, on money I made working the summer after I graduated. Unfortunately I had to drop out after the first year because I didn't have enough money to continue. So I got a job at a large utility company and spent 7 years in night school (at the same University), paid for by my company (for which I'm grateful!). While my friends were out partying and pubbing, I studied hard and was awarded the Gold Medal (top of the class) for both of my Business Related Certificates. Then I rose through the ranks, met the man of my dreams, embarked (with him) on the fascinating spiritual path which has defined my life, and taken me on several trips to India and other places, and now I'm retired. I am proud to say I have lived an honest life and have never cheated and never even gotten a driving or parking ticket. In hindsight, I am forever grateful that I didn't have parents who had either the means, or the inclination, to grease the skids of my life.
Your daughter has money, that’s more of a future than 95% of the population has. I hate these rich privileged degenerates.
Everyone makes mistakes. Leave her alone.
This is why certain people think they're smart, when it's just mommy and daddy pulling up their boot straps for them.
And her Apology Tour is to pimp her show.
Whoa is me, and my entitlement …
And, why are you plugging her show?
Woke liberal nonsense !
Felicity, how dare you..
Her lack of self awareness is shocking. I’m not watching anything she stars in again.
My only option to give my daughter a future? Are you kidding me? She's delusional. And she needs a new publicist.
She's so melodramatic: "I needed to give my daughter a future!" Oh please! Your daughter was born into a filthy rich family and was going to be just fine. Instead of giving your daughter a future by cheating, why not give her integrity, honesty, hard work, compassion, and decency?
I honestly thought that most wealthy people do this! I didn’t know it was criminal?
Please if someone had come to me and made that offer I would have done the same. So criticize if you need but look in the mirror and ask yourself would you? Also look at our lists of presidents tv stars, and local governments who have gotten away with so much. more. And gotten reelected by those they hurt.
Wouldn’t this make a child feel like a loser if can’t get into College on their own merit?
“The Good Lawyer”, IRONIC!
Poor little rich girl…
Disgusting 🐖!!!!
When government officials do that and worse, nobody seems to face trial yet alone convicted jail time. I blame the admissions officers at the university in question for not verifying the bonafide records of test scores and grades in question. Bribes also have to be accepted and yet no school official who is more responsible for this scandal saw jail time. Felicity Huffman was obviously wrong with dishonorable conduct but certainly could not have done any of this without school complicity.
White privilege with the punishment… 11 days ???
Dumbest plan ever, & so unnecessary…They are parents of means & wealth, so all they needed to do was make a substantial donation to whatever university they planned on sending their kid to, & 100% they woulda been accepted — that's how it works
Her words sounded sincere, but when they shared the timing of her speaking out coincided with a new TV show she once again seemed selfish and self-serving! If she would have spent some time talking about where she volunteered and what she learned then this interview would have been less about Public Relations and a plug for new show.
There was a woman that got years in prison for sending her child to a school in another district. Felicity’s consequence was like a privileged timeout!
She's an OG, she owned her sin & paid her due..if Christ Crucified- she has been forgiven upon the repentance of her sins..so back off.
The other one "whats her name" check on that one.
Rich people do it all the times she just happened to get caught… Do you guys really think Georges W Bush went to Yale and Trump to Wharton because they were smart …legacy admissions are a well known thing too in prestigious college like Harvard if a person of your family was in a prestigious college and a donor you are more likely to get in too, not because of your work or intelligence but because of your name and money. How is that different, it's unfair too !
Hollywood Rich privelege
Idiot.
But – 11 days IN PRISON!
Bullshit. Prison doesn’t mean the local jail. She wasn’t in Attica.
LOL, so she's doubling down on telling the world that she thought her daughter was not bright enough to get into college without cheating. I'm sure this makes her daughter so proud. Thanks Ma.
These Hollywood morons are so delusional, that it's not even funny anymore
So she knew her kids was stupid so she bribed the college to make her smart for something she never earned.😡
No she didn’t have to break the law but she did and by not teaching her daughter right from wrong was the wrong thing to do. As far as I can see she should still be in jail for the crime she committed. She claims that she wanted to give her daughter an education ok well this wasn’t the answer. You don’t go and break the law no matter who you are. Hopefully your daughter will not lose respect for what you did but I also think that she shouldn’t put any trust in what you do for her ever again. Your suppose to teach her values and by cheating isn’t one of them. Your should suppose to be the adult here and clearly your not.
So you taught your daughter lying and cheating was a good thing to do and you're not sorry obviously. And you're insulting your own daughters intelligence by inferring that ever though shes the multimillionaire daughter of two major celebrities shes too stupid to get into college without you committing a felony on her behalf. Nice job mom. With a mom like you that kid will be lucky if shes doesn't grow up to be a seriel killer
Say what you want about her, but unlike others involved in this, she readily admitted what she did, took her lumps, and did her time.
Yes, what she did weas stupid but she paid the price.
