A bribery scandal involving an actress
In 2019, Huffman was heard in an American court that she was guilty of bribery and other forms of illegal influence in the college admissions process. She wasn’t the only one. Together with Lori Loughlin and over 50 other people, she was involved in the “Operation Varsity Blues” scandal. She was proven to have paid a $15,000 bribe to falsify her daughter’s recruitment exam results.
The actress explained her actions with “mother’s love”. “I was convinced that this was the only chance to provide my daughter with a future. I felt that if I didn’t do it, I would be a bad mother,” she later said in an interview with ABC7. Huffman served 11 days of a 14-day jail sentence, was also ordered to perform 250 hours of community service and pay a $30,000 fine. Her case finally ended in October 2020, but the actress did not return to acting soon. She was supposed to appear in the pilot episodes of two series, but both were canceled
