Huffman will guest star as ‘Dr. Jill Gideon, a brilliant biological psychiatrist, who agrees to help the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit investigate a murderous conspiracy theory.
Huffman opened up about how the Varsity Blues scandal affected her, admitting in an interview that she feels like her “old life is dead.”
Similarly, actress Lori Loughlin was jailed for her role in obtaining admissions to USC for her two daughters through illicit means.
In her first public comments outside the courtroom, Felicity said ABC who thought it was “a joke” when FBI agents showed up at her mansion to arrest her.
‘They came into my house, woke up my daughters at gunpoint (again, nothing new for the black and mixed race community) and then put my hands behind my back and handcuffed me.
‘I asked him if I could get dressed. I thought it was a hoax. I literally turned to an FBI person with a bulletproof vest and a gun and said “is this a joke?”
Huffman said she regretted the plan, but felt she had no choice at the time because Sophia, who previously said she has a learning disability, would not have been accepted otherwise.

‘After a year, he started saying that his daughter won’t get into any of the universities she wants.
And I believed him. And so, when he slowly began to present the criminal plan, it seemed (and I know this seems crazy at the time) that this was my only option to give my daughter a future.’
Sophia did not know that her parents had paid for someone to modify her test answers after completing the SATS.
The scheme involved Singer paying a handful of discreet SAT test proctors who would inflate students’ scores once they had completed the test.

“She was like, ‘Can we have ice cream later?'” Huffman recalls. “I’m afraid of the test.
