FICTIONS ON THE SCANDAL OF BRIBE

FELICITY HUFFMAN AND LORI LOUGHLIN


I have enough of a title in the press for her image as a model mother shatters: "Felicity Huffman charged with a vast system of fraud at entry into prestigious universities."

The 56-year-old actress, known as Lynette Scavo in the hit series "Desperate Housewives" was arrested by the FBI on Tuesday, March 12. Felicity Huffman is accused of spending $ 15,000 to help her eldest daughter, Sofia, get into one of the most affluent institutions in the country by falsifying her exam results.

The actress Lori Loughlin is also charged in the scandal of university bribes.

A story that could inspire a feature film "The Social Network" or a movie Lifetime. And surely cause a war between two documentaries, like those dedicated to the Fyre Festival?

The Internet exploded on Tuesday, March 12, after news that actresses Felicity Huffman (Desperate Housewives) and Lori Loughlin (The House Party) were among the fifty people involved in a $ 25 million cheating scandal. .

"Aunt Becky", in reference to Lori Loughlin's character in La Fête à la Maison, quickly became one of the most sought-after keywords on social media.

More than 200 FBI agents worked on this case with the code name "Operation Varsity Blues". And what a find!

Dozens of parents have paid thousands of dollars in bribes to bring their children to universities as famous as Yale and Stanford! Loughlin and her husband, Massimo Giannulli, are accused of paying $ 500,000 in exchange for the appointment of their two daughters to the rowing team at the University of Southern California.

Felicity Huffman and her husband, William H. Macy, are charged with paying a $ 15,000 bribe to inflate the notes of one of their daughters.

"What an imbroglio"! This is the kind of drama that will be quickly adapted to film and television! Did it take only a few days for six different film projects to be launched after rescuing children stuck in a Thai cave?

This case could even serve as a frame for the season 3 of Big Little Lies, as noted Hunter Hunter, a journalist for Vulture.

At first a Lifetime movie to cover the scandal because a TV channel only needs a camera and a rough idea to start production.

Then as Kellee Terrell, writer, evoked, a much more irreverent adaptation of the story, like I, Tonya ...

And let's spice up the credits by showcasing old stars from Desperate Housewives or La Fête à la Maison!

Now we have to find the prestigious actresses to embody these less glorious roles.

Nicole Kidman? Laura Dern? And...
