Going into court..all smiles...

Why aren't you showing the other parents?

Who are the others?

Did not care about their kids! Just wanted to faux humble brag to their social circle at dinner partys that their precious little brand extensions were « just blossoming » at (insert prestige school here) without bribing the school with a building.

They will buy their way out.

I see jussie round 2 coming

There' must' not be any special treatment like we just saw with the Smollett case, which we ask the FBI to follow up on!!

If anyone has a time machine, these folks will surely pay top dollar for it. collegeadmissionsscandal

Where are the pics of ALL the equally rich (or richer)men who were also indicted? Tired of seeing these 2 women used as the face of this scandal

Please name all parents accused or none. It’s not fair to continue to isolate these two moms regardless of being celebrity’s.

They should do jail time, if not our justice system is a sham!

Did they think about their children when deciding to cheat. That what effect this would impact their children. Something our President would do. World's worst parents...

Name the other parents. Why are you only calling out these 2 women. Stop protecting these wealthy people so much and post their names and pictures like you do every other person charged with a crime.

All the advantages of wealth isn’t enough, they also have steal a place from a deserving student, so their lazy entitled child can party with other lazy entitled rich kids. Sad. The higher education system in the U.S. is fundamentally broken.

Throw the book at them! No special treatment

😂😂😂

If you spend real time with your children you won't have to spend money (bribe money)to get them in school ijs it starts at home. Be there! Next

This Desperate Housewives reboot is lit

Lets see the rest of them as well:why are these two made into the poster girls re the issue?!

No worries, girls. You'll get off. You're rich and famous. Just like Kraft and Epstein--rich and famous males--will get off. Money will buy your innocence.

Rich parents, dumb kids. Jared and Papa Don can vouch for them.

If you take away the plastic and the filler you'd be left with little else. Fake people are literally fake people.

Wait til the rest of the others that been in this decade run investigation of someone that's been doing it for more then couple decades. Indictments more then the 50 👏

They should be in court 4 those ridiculous hairstyles

Disgrace

Let’s serve justice where it’s deserved here in America. Not a slap on the wrist please; let’s show an equality for all. They deserve time behind bars not like a Suppositious JussieSmollet indictment. Still upset over that

Whaa...but...money gets you anything in this country. If you are rich you are beautiful. If you are rich you are right.

Cnn sucks.

I feel sorry for them. I don't care how rich they are they were just trying to do right for their kids. What put them in this situation? Isn't there enough good schools over there?

I don’t care what happens to them as long as William H. Macy remains free and unharmed. He’s an American treasure.

. But not Dr. Dre...his daughter got into USC fair and square. Just don't put too much weight on his and Jimmy Lovine's $70,000,000.00 endowment to USC, just BEFORE she was accepted. Nothing to see here, move along.

People work so hard for This her daughter already had a career people go to college for that was unnecessary to do when her daughter didn’t even care about college college Fraud Disappointing Careless Careers Future

Good! The Elites, with lacking children will now face the consequences. Cheating, seems to be a normal procedure with Dems.

Still awaiting their mugshots. cnn publishes 'other' people's mugshots all the time.

Unbelievable

Sad that it shows they didn't believe in their children for them to get in on their own merit.

So disappointed of lynette

I pray they pay a huge price as in, time served. I am so sick of politicians and the rich thinking that they own the world & can do what they please. They need to pay for what they’ve done. Let them set an example. Time served!

What idiots!

If she gets charged but Jussie smollet does not we know truly where privilege lies...
