it's bad enough what she did (and what she and her husband attempted to do with the other child) but to then go on tv to explain that you thought your kids were so dumb that you needed to commit a crime for them to succeed is a whole nother level of humiliation

lol mte. how do you even spin this? "i'm such a good mother i just wanted a better future for my dumbass children"?

[marthasback]

I think the "spin" she needs to focus on is that she hired this person a year before the prospect of cheating ever came up. They hired a tutor / coach for her daughter (a normal thing to do). It was a year later when the coach insisted that her daughter wasn't smart enough, and the option to fix the score was given. She didn't go into it looking to cheat, but took the oppourtunity when it was given to her.

I'm not defending her, but the context has kinda been lost in comparison to Aunt Becky, who (from what I gather) was flat out looking to cheat from the start

tbh the fact i didn't know any of this proves your point, they have been lumped together so maybe she could focus on that. but it's still no excuse, as you said.

her daughter was trying to get into acting school, Felicity said that part of reason she agreed to the scheme was because she knew that good SAT scores were irrelevant to becoming an actor even though the school required them
