The 44-year-old added, ‘She was humbled by what happened and I think she did handle it with as much grace as she could in that situation.’

Huffman pleaded guilty when she appeared in court in May and her sentencing is to take place on September 13.

The mother of two allegedly paid $15,000 to help get her oldest daughter Sofia into college by reportedly cheating on the SATs in which a proctor corrected her answers to gain her a better score.

Prosecutors are recommending that Otherhood star spend four months in prison and pay a $20,000 fine.

‘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 back in April.

‘My daughter knew absolutely nothing about my actions, and in my misguided and profoundly wrong way, I have betrayed her,’ she revealed. ‘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.’

Her husband, William H. Macy has not been charged.

Full House actress Lori Loughlin and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli are also awaiting their fate when it comes to the scandal.

The two allegedly paid $500,000 to have their two daughters Isabella Rose, and Youtube star Olivia Jade as designated recruits for the USC crew team. 

Both Lori and Mossimo rejected their deal that would have allowed them to serve two years in prison. The couple was then hit with a conspiracy to commit money laundering charge and now face up to 40 years in jail. Both have pleaded not guilty.
