Can Felicity Huffman Benefit From Being a 'Convicted Felon'?

Instead of suffering for her role in the college admissions scandal, Felicity Huffman might even benefit from being jailed 14 days. This is the opinion of “Hollywood Madam” Heidi Fleiss.

Fleiss spent a total of three years jailed in federal prison, the same one that Huffman might spend two weeks in. That said, Fleiss believe that she has enough knowledge of what will happen to Huffman inside the jail and afterward. For her, Huffman will not suffer so much inside the jail.

“Two weeks is nothing, she will be just fine,” Fleiss, 53, said of Huffman’s short prison stint to Radar Online. “I’m sure she’s prepared for films that were much harder,” she added.

What is more interesting about Fleiss’ views is that she surmised the actress might even benefit from being tagged a “convicted felon.”

She added that being jailed is fine as long as one has money, which she believes Huffman has an abundance of. Having money makes sure that the inmate will not suffer from the government-issued stuff, which Fleiss described as being “just awful.”

Fleiss is sure Huffman will not have it worse than her, since her sentence is merely 2 weeks. For her, she needed to learn how to do things on her own - kitchen duty, cleaning, and more others. “If she (Felicity) is only going to be there for two weeks, she will do just fine. She won’t have to worry about the horror I encountered,” she added. She even believe Huffman will be loved inside.

Apart from thinking Huffman will be fine after her prison stint, she thinks Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Gianulli will have a harder time dealing with people’s resentment if they continue to fight their charges.

“They need a reality check real quick because they are really going to get it handed to them,” Fleiss explained. “They are living in a bubble. It makes people have even more resentment towards the rich because they seem to have no remorse and it’s so in your face. What they should do is make a sizable contribution to underprivileged students who can’t afford to go to these colleges. Show a little class! This is their chance to do something positive,” she added.

If Fleiss thinks nothing of Huffman’s jail term, the former “Desperate Housewives” actress’ family thinks otherwise. According to People magazine, this is a hard moment in their lives but at the same time, they are all becoming closer as they strive to heal from the situation.
