An exhausted Felicity Huffman was seen outside the LA Courthouse after she was released from custody following her embarrassing arrest on mail fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud charges.
The former Desperate Housewives actress was pictured leaving the Downtown Los Angeles courthouse late on Tuesday, flanked by police officers.
The 56-year-old actress was released on $250,000 bond. Huffman appeared in court with her distraught husband William H. Macy, who was also accused.
Huffman will appear in a Boston, Massachusetts courtroom on March 29 for a preliminary hearing into the bribery case.
46 people, including CEOs, executives, coaches and 33 parents, were accused of paying millions to get their children into top colleges as part of a scheme that involved doctoring exam results and bribing college officials.
Fuller House star Lori Loughlin was also arrested along with her fashion designer husband Mossimo Giannulli. Giannulli also posted bail and was released on bond Tuesday.
Both allegedly paid $500,000 to a college coach who falsely stated that their two daughters were recruits for the rowing team at University of Southern California.
Social media trolls attacked Loughlin and Giannulli’s daughter Olivia Jade Giannulli on Twitter and Instagram. Olivia, who is currently a student at USC, is pictured with her mom in a photo dated Feb. 27, 2018.
One Instagram user wrote: “You didn’t earn your success. You stole it from someone more hardworking and deserving than you,” while another user added, “Imagine having to never work for anything in your life… oh wait.”
Olivia later disabled comments on her Instagram pictures as a result of the trolling, but found herself subjected to similar remarks on her YouTube channel, which has nearly two million subscribers.
