The actress says after a year, he gave her bad news … she wasn’t up to speed and would not get into any of the colleges. Felicity says Singer “slowly” rolled out a criminal scheme which she ultimately bought.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Felicity ended up paying Singer $15k to bribe a proctor into changing her daughter’s wrong SAT answers. As for why, she says it felt like the only option to give her daughter a future.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

At one point she says, “It was sort of like my daughter’s future, which meant I had to break the law.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Huffman spoke of the FBI raid on her home … “They came into my home, they woke my daughters up at gunpoint – again, nothing new to the Black and brown community – then they put my hands behind my back and handcuffed me.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

She continued, “I asked if I could get dressed. I thought it was a hoax. I literally turned to one of the FBI people in a flak jacket and a gun and I go “is this a joke?”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
