EX-CON actress Felicity Huffman is speaking out for the first time about her Varsity Blues scandal, insisting she was just a desperate housewife when she paid a bribe to boost her daughter's college entrance exam scores so the kid could get into a prestigious university.
The 61-year-old Primetime Emmy winner spent 11 days in the clink and paid a $30,000 fine after admitting she gave fixer Rick Singer $15,000 to illegally up her daughter Sophia's SAT score in 2019.
Felicity, wed to Shameless star William H. Macy, claimed their oldest girl, Sophia, suffered from a learning disability so "I had to break the law" so the kid would have "a chance at a future."
