The actress' husband William H. Macy tells the court motherhood 'frightened' his wife from the beginning.

The actress' husband William H. Macy tells the court motherhood "frightened" his wife from the beginning.

While she acknowledges she committed a crime, she’s asking U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani to consider “five critical facts” before her sentencing, according to a Friday filing.

“In my desperation to be a good mother I talked myself into believing that all I was doing was giving my daughter a fair shot,” Huffman writes. “When my daughter looked at me and asked with tears streaming down her face, ‘Why didn’t you believe in me? Why didn’t you think I could do it on my own?’ I had no adequate answer for her.”Macy, meanwhile, lauds how his wife raised their daughters.

The actor also tells the court he, his wife and their two daughters have been seeing a family therapist following Huffman’s arrest and they’re making progress — although he expects “some of the hurt and anger will take years to work through.”

Oh please. She knew exactly what she was doing. No sympathy here.

I'm sad because i liked her

The best part was this very rich and very famous overprivileged white woman allocuting that she broke the law because just wanted to give her kid a “fair shot.”

I think this line is imperfectly written: 'Huffman and prosecutors have agreed that a sentence of zero to six months is typical for such a crime, and are asking the court to impose one year of probation, 250 hours of community service and a $20,000 fine.' Pros. wants 1 mo. jail.

You was a nice person to me

KNX1070 lockherup

Boo effing Hooo👋👋Bye Bye🤣🤣

KNX1070 My parents role in getting me into college involved me applying and getting into college and them paying the bills. I got into where I was qualified. This is how it should be.

The rest of us mothers try to do our best as well, but we manage to stay honest and out of jail doing it. Hoffman was using her wealth to take unfair, undeserved advantage over hard-working, honest, deserving kids. I have no sympathy for her.

Desperate to be a good mother? Please.

Cheating is a excellent trait in a mother.

Her definition of a “good mother” is frightening.

KNX1070 By buying her child’s education?

Well, that was a total fail 🙄

A good mother by lying and cheating the system? Yeahhhhh. Good role model for your kids. sendhertoprison

. most parents are. They don’t cheat and buy their way though.

That's not the best kind of mother you can be. What does that teach your children?

She should get probation.

I GUARANTEE she won’t see a minute of jail time. The jury will see her as a Mother wanting to do what’s best for her kids SO badly she’d do anything. If she were Black, they’d say she was a criminal trying to cheat the system. It happened to Tanya McDowell AND Kelley Williams.

I wonder if she will play herself in her lifetime movie.

At least she’s being honest

White and rich class privileged cop out excuse

I feel nauseous.

I expect, at the very least, her child has learned a valuable lesson
