Her daughter was born white, wealthy (not just rich, but wealthy) to extremely successful and famous parents. She didn’t want her daughter to have a chance, she wanted her daughter to have everything, and that’s called “GREED”. 🎉

If she really wanted to educate her daughter, teach her the values of hard work and honesty. We have a culture of youth that expect to win every single time and if they don't earn it, we still give each of them a gold star. Disappointment is part of life and can be a motivator to do better.

In simple words, her daughter partied her teen years, and Felecity wanted her to get a good college. Willing to screw over applicants who spent their years hitting the books, doing community projects, or working on their sports

This is the most pathetic defense imaginable. Playing the 'I did it for my daughter'-card, claiming that she 'had' to break the law and getting away with 11 (eleven) days in prison. This interview was a carefully calculated move to polish her image and public profile. Shame on you, Felicity Huffman.

Even post-scandal, you can see how far out of touch she is with those who aren’t wealthy 🤦🏽‍♂️

She still feels entitled. No remorse.

Imagine how privileged you've gotta be for this to be your logic. How about your daughter EARNING that future like most people have to?

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.

No one believes Felicity she shouldn't be given a platform to speak.

By cheating to "give her a future" the daughter could have been admitted to an institution she couldn't perform well in, so I wonder if Felicity planned to continue to cheat her daughter's way through to graduating? Or was it simply ok for her to flunk out because her learning disability may have affected her ability to earn solid grades? I would think flunking out of college would be a blow to her daughter's self-esteem? Maybe that would have been irrelevant to Felicity.....And Felicity implies that her daughter couldn't get admitted to ANY post-high school institution (whether a community college or a state college/university) on her own merit at all? HIGHLY DOUBTFUL. I think Felicity simply wanted the prestige of saying her daughter got in to a PARTICULAR school, whether she could achieve that on her own merit or not. I think this interview is nothing more than an effort to minimize/justify her illegal conduct.

The top colleges are currently offering the worst educations. There is no future for much of the ideologies they are emphasizing.

Going to a “good” college at 18yo is just one of many ways of having a good life. She owes her daughter an apology for thinking this wasn’t the case for her.

Why did she get out early? Obviously she learned nothing from her time behind bars because she was glad to have broken the law instead of working to change it.

I honestly thought that most wealthy people do this! I didn’t know it was criminal?

But - 11 days IN PRISON! Bullshit. Prison doesn’t mean the local jail. She wasn’t in Attica.

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?

She should followed the process just like everyone else and believed in her daughter.

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.

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.

So the parents who are worth at least $100,000,000 did what any parent would do and break the law to give their (I guess) not so smart daughter two legs up over the poor families making $50,000 or less a year. Priceless, after all she's just a poor multi-multi- millionaire.

1:04 But did she? Was she really so conflicted? Was this really the one big illegal thing that the did that had her so conflicted?

I can't understand why it's a federal crime, & not a misdemeanor, or a civil case. Is it because USC is a govt funded university? At the same time, I also wonder, with all the money, why not go to other private sxhools. Sureky, there are prestigius ones too

Everyone makes mistakes. Leave her alone.

What a crock....

My only option to give my daughter a future? Are you kidding me? She's delusional. And she needs a new publicist.

Wouldn’t this make a child feel like a loser if can’t get into College on their own merit? “The Good Lawyer”, IRONIC!

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!

Normal parents do not lie to get their kids into colleges. This is the worst of the worst. This women should be in prison for 10 years

Her lack of self awareness is shocking. I’m not watching anything she stars in again.

She should be making license plates and a factory in prison

I can understand what she is saying, but she was wrong as hell. I mean what kind of parenting is that ?

She is an award winning actress. She should have pay tuition for her daughter to attend school in University. But she made a terrible mistake

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.

I can sum this interview up as thus: "Let them eat cake!"

Felicity, how dare you..

Come on! Is this for real? If she genuinely feels this way then we really have a problem. But this seems like bullshit. Yo, your kid was born into incredible privilege, you have contacts, just stand up and say 'look I wanted my kind in that uni and I had the money to bribe their way in, it was wrong and I got caught out'. The reason she is speaking out is because she has something to promote

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

Why not just use that money pay for a very expensive good tutor to tutor you child for the test

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.

Poor little rich girl...

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.

Wow..and they gave the black woman 5 years in prison for using a zip code thats wasn't hers so her child could go to a better school. Gtfoh

the irony

I’m confused about the faux outrage in these comments. This woman didn’t kill anybody. She did what alot of parents do. It was wrong but if given the opportunity some of y’all commenting would have did the same thing so sthu

Hollywood Rich privelege

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.

And the criminal gets a show yay America

And yet meanwhile trump is still walking around a free man! DOJ, FBI, CIA, DOD.. DO YOUR DAMN JOB!!!! SOMEBODY DO THE RIGHT THING BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!!

I WON'T be watching that show!!!

Whoa is me, and my entitlement ... And, why are you plugging her show? Woke liberal nonsense !
