Happy birthday felicity for your 61 years from italian boy live in rome
I don’t understand how William Macy, Felicity’s husband and the father of their daughters, was not charged also, it just doesn’t make sense, did his stardom make him untouchable???? I feel he must be as guilty as Felicity.
To me the bottom line is that these parents, who paid to get their kids into colleges or universities, were not only cheating their kids but also the rest of us for having uneducated people join the workforce.
What a disgrace.
Your children dont come out of school tougher and smarter. Its the opposite. It ruins them.
Universities are really just hedge funds.
Her daughter should be kicked out and the mother should have gone to jail for 5 years.
Is her daughter a black girl?
BS
This woman is a piece of s*** trying to rewrite the narrative she's a crook she got caught and no one is going to believe anything else but what she is and all she's doing is showing what a crook she is she's should just shut up about it and move on
M-SHE-NEWS
I hope it was worth it🤨
She’s completely aware that what she gave birth to is mentally incapable so a tutor would’ve been a waste of time and it’s clear that this activity is common because 4/5 in the work force today can’t think OR count to save their lives and they have PhD’s and masters degrees that appear to be Honorary Certificates.
Act baby act she didnt spend 11 days in prison maybe county jail but i doubt that
Rich white ppl doing what rich white ppl do. They paid their way to the top. If I was rich I'd do the same. A lot of you ppl judging them would to.
U still a whole ass criminal at the end of the day. You and Lori. We don't feel sorry for you and you deserved longer than 11 days in prison……what kinda bs is that??!!
She still has not learned anything.
All I see is Lynette Scavo. One of my favorite characters.
I want to ask "Is your daughter in an idiot?"
She would definitley do it again. She's learned nothing.
So if her daughter could not meet the grades to get in the collage what makes her think she can get the grades to get the degree
She knew better! Do the crime pay the time and money
Why are the very same rich people who scream about only wanting admission based on merit end up being the ones who have to pay to bribe to get their kids into universities because they’re too dumb to get in…based on merit?!
Felicity is an actress. Not a very good one though
What a complete clown. Either apologize unequivocally and throw yourself on the mercy of the population or just stay at home and shut up.
Nah, that’s bullshit
I cannot believe that she thought it was okay that her daughter took the place at this college over someone who actually got good enough grades. It reeks. I also cannot understand how she thinks if your child does not go to this fancy coilege that they will have "no future" ??. What a condescending thing to say, You work hard to have " a future ". No body in their right mind would break the law over this or lie to their own child and let their child think they got into university on their own merit.
piece of work – totally f'd up her daughters future – no justification ever
The new form of parenting in that last two decades is become best friends with your kids and protect them from all the consequences of their actions. Do their homework, never say no, etc or they won't like you! Waaahh. Have to do that because the average american has no friends. You can't have friends without community and culture and language. In a low trust society, friendship is very hard.
not the token next to her
A role model for other moms? I certainly hope not. Disgusting. And where is her daughter now?
I’m so proud of Felicity ! She deserves the best ! ❤❤❤
One thing that never made sense to me: how did William H. Macy get away clean in all this? From everything I’ve read he was an equal partner in everything.
There's always another way instead of committing a crime.
She should've remained quiet… she's learned nothing and has no remorse. Truly a privileged sociopath.
These Hollywood morons are so delusional, that it's not even funny anymore
The really nutty thing is didn't she have a storyline on Desperate Housewives where she did something very similar?
She did wrong, that's for sure. She was aware of her priviledge and made the most of it thinking she wouldn't get caught. I'll give you guys that. But I see a lot of hipocrisy in the comments… could you honestly tell me you've NEVER used your priviledge, whatever it might be, to benefit yourself or yours over others? Really? Would you NEVER use your millions if you had them to skip a few lines in life? She made a mistake. She's paid her dues and she's trying to turn it around while helping others. Let it go.
If you raised a stupid kid, just accept it. Are you going to do his exams and homework? Carry out work for him when he’s employed? Using trickery to put him in college won’t help in the long run.
Last night I was watching a segment about two teachers. To make ends meet
they started doing OnlyFans. They were found out and had to step down.
Now they do OnlyFans full time, have paid off their student debt and made more
in one year than they EVER would have as a teacher! University is priced out of market!
Wow, I mean this like the most corrupt back that I had seen in a while. She only served 11days what was the point of letting her go to jail,I can see it now, a lifetime movie Channel.
Screw you, rich girl.
If even Felicity is this desperate, either there is some sense of meritocracy in college admissions or anyone who is below her in the socioeconomic spectrum is at a severe disadvantage.
What kind of lack mindset did she have? She is a known actress. Her husband was in a top show Shameless. Your fame could have just opened doors for her and her family to find out information to assist her children.
This just shows you how out of touch the "Hollywood elite" are with reality. Kids, you don't have to go to college to be successful in life. I only have a GED and make well into the 6 figures.
