In the midst of the college admissions scandal chaos, there's one person standing firmly by Felicity Huffman's side—her former Desperate Housewives co-star, Dana Delany. The situation has been tough, but Dana hasn't turned her back on her friend. Let's dive deeper into what Dana had to say and how Felicity is handling the fallout.
Dana Delany Offers Support for Felicity Huffman
At the 2019 TCM Classic Film Festival opening night gala and the 30th anniversary screening of When Harry Met Sally in Hollywood on April 11, Dana Delany, 63, had some heartfelt words for her former co-star. "I just think that Felicity gave the perfect statement," Dana told Us Weekly. "I think she’s handling it very well. She's been open about her mistakes, and I just wish her the best." Dana’s words reflect a sense of understanding and empathy during a challenging time for Felicity.
Felicity Huffman Takes Responsibility
On April 8, Felicity Huffman, 56, announced that she would plead guilty to conspiracy and fraud charges related to her involvement in the nationwide college admissions scandal. Huffman had been accused of paying significant amounts of money to boost her daughter Sofia’s SAT score. In a statement, Felicity expressed deep regret and shame for her actions. "I am in full acceptance of my guilt, and with deep regret and shame over what I have done, I accept full responsibility for my actions and will accept the consequences that stem from those actions," she said.

Felicity continued, "I am ashamed of the pain I have caused my daughter, my family, my friends, my colleagues, and the educational community. I want to apologize to them and, especially, I want to apologize to the students who work hard every day to get into college, and to their parents who make tremendous sacrifices to support their children and do so honestly." Her words reflect a genuine acknowledgment of her wrongdoing and the impact it has had on others.
Impact on Her Daughter and the Public
Felicity added, "My daughter knew absolutely nothing about my actions, and in my misguided and profoundly wrong way, I have betrayed her. This transgression toward her and the public I will carry for the rest of my life. My desire to help my daughter is no excuse to break the law or engage in dishonesty." Huffman's statement reveals the emotional weight she carries for her actions and the long-term impact they may have on her relationship with her daughter.
Not All Co-Stars Agree
Not everyone in Felicity's circle has been as supportive as Dana Delany. Nicollette Sheridan, another former Desperate Housewives co-star, expressed her disappointment in an interview with Access last month. "We don’t know the facts, but we can be extremely disturbed by the entitlement, the power and money that can take away from less privileged," Nicollette said. "To me, that is disgraceful." Her words highlight a divide among Huffman's peers, with some finding it hard to reconcile her actions with their sense of fairness and justice.
