Nicollette Sheridan comes for ex-Desperate Housewives co-star Felicity Huffman

Nicollette Sheridan is sounding off on Desperate Housewives costar Felicity Huffman‘s alleged involvement in a massive college bribery scandal.

The actress, 55, opened up to Accessthis link opens in a new tab in an interview published on Monday while promoting her new role in Dynasty.

“We don’t know the facts. But we could be extremely disturbed by the entitlement, the power, the money that could take away from those less privileged and that to me is disgraceful,” Sheridan said.

The actress and Huffman, 56, costarred together alongside Eva Longoria, Teri Hatcher and Marcia Cross in the hit show Desperate Housewives which first premiered in 2004.

Sheridan said only time would tell where Huffman “really stands” in terms of her alleged involvement in the scheme, which came to light last week.

“I think there are ways to remedy a system that isn’t working and that I think has been broken for a long time,” Sheridan said. “It’s troublesome, it’s troublesome because it could change the life path of a child that is deserving.”

Huffman was one among 49 others who were named in an alleged conspiracy to defraud and undermine competitive student admissions at elite colleges and universities including Yale, Georgetown, the University of Southern California and Stanford, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts.

Fuller House actress Lori Loughlin and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, were also named. Huffman’s husband, actor William H. Macy, was not indicted.

Huffman is accused of allegedly donating $15,000 to a company in exchange for its help to fraudulently boost their daughter’s SAT scores, according to the indictment obtained by PEOPLE.

Authorities and the charging document allege that Huffman and Macy aligned with William Singer, a “cooperating witness” in the investigation who runs a college preparatory business and started the Key Worldwide Foundation that accepted the couple’s $15,000 donation.

Singer, who has pleaded guilty to his role in the scandal, met with the couple in their Los Angeles home and allegedly told them a proctor could boost their daughter’s SAT results by secretly correcting any incorrect test answers.

According to the indictment, Singer “advised investigators that Huffman and her spouse agreed to the plan.”

PEOPLE was unable to reach a representative for Huffman and Macy.

Huffman’s next preliminary court hearing is scheduled for March 29 at a Boston court, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

For some reason I find it weird they're "only" in their mid-fifties, I'm not sure why but it feels like they should be about 80.

Why? Desperate Housewives only finished in 2012. :suspect:

Olivia Jade Giannulli is opening up about the college admissions scandal that landed her parents, actress Lori Loughlin and designer Mossimo Giannulli, in prison.

The beauty influencer appeared on a new episode of "Red Table Talk" Tuesday, explaining that she wanted to "publicly share my experience for the first time" in a "place that feels really safe."
Jada Pinkett Smith, who hosts the Facebook Watch show with her mother, Adrienne Banfield-Jones, and daughter, Willow Smith, said in a teaser: "Olivia Jade felt it was time to speak."

Loughlin and Giannulli admitted to paying William "Rick" Singer $500,000 to help get their two daughters admitted to The University of Southern California. The parents pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges earlier this year.
Giannulli began serving a five-month sentence at the Federal Correctional Complex Lompoc last month. Loughlin, who is serving a two-month prison sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, California, is scheduled for release in a few weeks.
"It's been hard, for anybody no matter what the situation is you don't want to see your parents go to prison but also I think it's necessary for us to move on and move forward," said Olivia Jade Giannulli, who goes by her first and middle names professionally. "What happened was wrong and I think every single person in my family can look at it and be like that was messed up, that was a big mistake but I think what's so important to me is to learn from the mistake. Not to be shamed and punished and never given a second chance... I'm 21. I feel like I deserve a second chance to redeem myself to show I've grown."
She added that she hasn't spoken to her parents recently due to Covid-19 protocols.
Olivia Jade Giannulli revealed that when she was applying to colleges, she "wasn't fully aware of what was going on," and had been living in a bubble where paying a college recruiter was the norm.
"When it first happened I didn't look at it and say, 'Oh my God like how dare we do this?' I was like, 'Why is everybody complaining? I was confused what we did.' That's embarrassing to admit," she said, adding that she was a good high school student, but didn't deserve to be at USC.

"I wasn't slacking in high school. I don't want to discredit myself to the point where I was like I have all this and I also didn't care. I really did care. I was also a very involved student," she said. "I think I put a lot of trust into a person that claimed their profession was college counseling and it led me in a wrong direction. It's not to shift blame it's just to explain that I wasn't aware of what was going on."
She added that she is now working with inner city youth and plans to continue working with underprivileged kids going forward.
