The Truth About Felicity Huffman's Daughters, Sophia And Georgia

Felicity Huffman's daughters, Sophia Macy and Georgia Macy, are both keeping their heads held high despite their rough past. As fans know, the Desperate Housewives star came under fire following the Operation Varsity Blues Scandal that rocked the nation. Huffman and Full House star Lori Loughlin were two of the biggest names at the center of the scandal that involved bribing and paying their children's way into prestigious colleges. Huffman reportedly paid $15,000 to buy her daughter extra time on her SAT and bribe the proctor to correct the answers. The actor was arrested in March 2019 for her involvement in the scandal while her husband, Shameless star William H. Macy, was not charged.

In court, Huffman appeared to be remorseful as she fought back tears while apologizing for her role. "I take full responsibility of my actions and making amends with my crime," she said, according to USA Today. "I will deserve whatever punishment you give me." A judge ordered Huffman be sentenced to 14 days in prison for her involvement in the scandal, although she was released after serving only 11 days. Since then, Huffman has picked up the pieces and has begun acting again. Subsequently, her daughters are also doing well.

What have Felicity Huffman's daughters, Sophia and Georgia Macy, been up to?

As fans know, Sophia Macy was one of the people who was damaged most by Felicity Huffman's role in the Operation Varsity Blues Scandal. However, the then-18-year-old proved that she did not need her mother's help to get into a good school because she did so on her own. According to Yahoo!, Sophia was accepted into Carnegie Mellon University's drama program. She changed her Instagram bio to reflect the news, but she has since taken it down. It comes as no surprise that Huffman was thrilled with the news. "Felicity is so proud and grateful that Sophia has kept her chin up over the last year," a source shared. "It was a painful, challenging time, and she pulled through it with strength and grace."

As for Huffman's other daughter, Georgia Macy? She will also be attending a top-notch college. As Yahoo! reported, Georgia was accepted to Vassar College's program. Like her sister, Georgia changed her Instagram bio to reflect her school, and it has since remained on her account. It's nice to see that something good came out of such a tough situation.
