Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman are among the defendants in the bribery scandal surrounding allegedly purchased places at prestigious US colleges. Now fellow actress Julia Roberts has spoken in the case. The 51-year-old talked about what she thought was a child when his parents organized a study place for him.
"I think it's so sad," said 51-year-old ET Canada. For them, as outsiders, it would seem that parents are telling their offspring, "I do not have enough faith in you." However, she did not comment directly on Loughlin and Huffman.
Roberts is a mother herself. Of course, her three children have certain privileges, said the Oscar winner. She did not want her children to struggle like she did herself. Nevertheless, they would have to make their own experiences. Overall, however, let her offspring grow up as "normal" as possible, said Roberts. For example, her children had to learn how to make their bed, do their laundry and cook.

US bribery scandal: lack of trust?"Full House" star Loughlin and Felicity Huffman, known as "Desperate Housewives," are among a number of affluent individuals who are at the center of the bribe scandal. For example, Huffman is said to have paid $ 15,000 in bribes for her eldest daughter's admission test.
Loughlin and her husband are accused of paying $ 500,000 to ensure that their two daughters have joined the rowing team at the University of Southern California, and thus at the university - though they are not rowers at all.
In total, the authorities accuse 33 wealthy families in the US of having bought their children seats in elite unis. A key figure in the corruption scandal is said to have been the women's football coach at Yale University. In the past years, $ 25 million in bribes have been poured.
