According to reports, she was arrested at gunpoint on a Tuesday morning, March 12, and it's a story that has gripped the nation.
According to Us Weekly, the 56-year-old Huffman was in her Los Angeles home at 6 a.m. when seven agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation arrived, guns drawn, and demanded her surrender. Can you imagine the scene? Huffman's husband, actor William H. Macy, and their daughters, Sofia, 18, and Georgia, 16, were reportedly fast asleep when the agents arrived. The family was suddenly thrust into chaos, with agents waking them up to take Felicity into custody.
What Allegedly Happened?
Let’s break this down. Huffman is reportedly one of several high-profile individuals involved in a massive college admissions scandal that has dominated headlines. According to court documents obtained by ABC News, Huffman allegedly made a so-called "charitable contribution" of $15,000 to participate in a scheme designed to rig her eldest daughter's college entrance exam. It’s alleged she even made plans to repeat the scheme for her younger daughter but ultimately decided against it. Huffman isn’t the only one in the spotlight; Full House star Lori Loughlin is also implicated.

Lori Loughlin's Alleged Involvement
Lori Loughlin, along with her husband Mossimo Giannulli, is alleged to have agreed to pay bribes totaling $500,000 to secure spots for their daughters on the University of Southern California crew team. The twist? Neither daughter actually participated in crew. Instead, the bribes were intended to help them gain admission to USC under false pretenses. This scandal has rocked the entertainment world and left many questioning the integrity of the college admissions process.
As of this moment, it hasn’t been confirmed whether Lori Loughlin, 54, has been taken into custody, but there is a warrant out for her arrest. She has reportedly been contacted by federal authorities and urged to turn herself in. Loughlin shares two daughters, Isabella Rose Giannulli, 20, and Olivia Jade Giannulli, 19, with her fashion designer husband. Both daughters currently attend the University of Southern California, but their academic futures remain uncertain.
Update: On March 13, FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller confirmed that Lori Loughlin was taken into custody.
