<\/p>\n
Felicity Huffman<\/strong> is finally speaking out about the college admissions scandal that landed her in prison, and she kinda sorta is still justifying what she did, in the name of her daughter’s future.<\/p>\n Felicity sat with KABC’s Marc Brown<\/strong> and explained she had hired a highly recommended college counselor coach Rick Singer<\/strong> for a year, trying to secure a spot at the college of her choice.<\/p>\n The actress says after a year, he gave her bad news … she wasn’t up to speed and would not get into any of the colleges. Felicity says Singer “slowly” rolled out a criminal scheme which she ultimately bought.<\/p>\n Felicity ended up paying Singer $15k to bribe a proctor into changing her daughter’s wrong SAT answers. As for why, she says it felt like the only option to give her daughter a future.<\/p>\n At one point she says, “It was sort of like my daughter’s future, which meant I had to break the law.”<\/p>\n Huffman spoke of the FBI raid on her home … “They came into my home, they woke my daughters up at gunpoint – again, nothing new to the Black and brown community – then they put my hands behind my back and handcuffed me.”<\/p>\n She continued, “I asked if I could get dressed. I thought it was a hoax. I literally turned to one of the FBI people in a flak jacket and a gun and I go “is this a joke?”<\/p>\n Huffman served 11 days<\/strong> for the crime.<\/p>\n Her daughter, Sophia<\/strong>, was not aware of her mom’s shenanigans. Sophia is now studying drama at Carnegie Mellon in NYC.<\/p>\n As for Felicity, she’s now working with A New Way of Life, an org helping incarcerated women to re-enter society.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
