Katie Couric, Jay Leno and More Stars Still Reeling Over College Admissions Scandal
Huffman, meanwhile, is the mother of daughters Sofia, 18, and Georgia, 16, with husband William H. Macy. While the Shameless star has not been charged, the Desperate Housewives alum was accused of making a charitable donation of $15,000 “to participate in the college entrance exam cheating scheme on behalf of her eldest daughter,” per paperwork.
The American Crime star, 56, was arrested at her Los Angeles home on March 12 and released on a $250,000 bond later that day. She has also stayed mum on the alleged scam.
Scroll through for the latest reactions from stars about the scandal:
Katie Couric
“It’s shocking and upsetting, but I do think it’s an opportunity to reevaluate the whole system, how it works and the madness that is often associated with getting into a top college,” the journalist, who is the mother of two adult daughters, told Us at the Mumbai Hotel screening on March 17. “It’s become such a rat race, and I think people have lost perspective, and I think it just underscores this inequality that exists in our culture.”Credit: Craig Barritt/Getty Images
Angela Bassett
The Black Panther actress shares 13-year-old twins Bronwyn and Slater with husband Courtney B. Vance. “To the degree that it was Photoshopping, and other folks taking tests and making your kid think that they’re taking the test, yeah, I was … disappointed,” Bassett told Us at the PaleyFest Los Angeles 9-1-1 event on March 17. “But it doesn’t surprise me.”Credit: Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images
Julia Roberts
“That to me is so sad because I feel, from an outsider, that it says a little bit, ‘I don’t have enough faith in you.’ … My husband [Danny Moder] and I are very aligned on that front,” the mother of three told ITV on March 15. “I think that we live a very normal experience with our children. Obviously, we have advantages that we didn’t have as children. But I think that’s the unique part of it, coming from the childhood that I have. You do need to know how to make your bed and do your laundry and make one meal. These are important life skills.”Credit: Emma McIntyre/Getty Images
Erika Jayne
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, who has an adult son, told Us on March 15 that she doesn’t think the alleged actions of their parents involved is anything “new.”“I think it’s been going on since the beginning of time,” she told Us at the grand opening of the MCM Global Flagship on Rodeo Drive, noting that anyone who is surprised “must be dumb because everybody’s doing it, celebrity or not.”
