College Admissions Scandal - The Lies They Tell You via YouTube

I hope that MrRPMurphy is involved americancrimestory

I hope her arrogance and sense of entitlement help her get max sentence. Unless of course her money buys her out of this one too which is why she is in this predicament in the first place. Enough is enough with wealthy celebrities getting away scott-free with crimes.

New Hallmark series rumored: When Calls the Cuffs “

This story really ERKS me, bc this mess has been going on since hammer was a freakin hatchet. This is the NORM among the rich. You seriously think tRump education wasn't paid in full.🤔🙄 His father paid for his admissions, tests, homework, college unwanted pregnancies etc. etc.

Not a single original idea in hollywood how firetrucking pathetic.

Not news

Any money may by the movie should be confiscated you should not be able to benefit from a crime

They wouldn’t need anybody to play them. They could play themselves. Maybe, that could be their community service. Hahaha

Will they be starring as themselves?

🙄🙄🙄🙄😑😑😑😑🙄🙄🙄🙄

Irrelevant. DGAF

Ayo Lori see if the judge will let me do your time for u. We’ll discuss prices over the phone.

Glad Hollywood was able to figure out a way to make money off this

From jail?

Pelosi is playing Lori and Hillary is playing Felicity! LOLOL

Who would watch this crap? We are seeing the real thing in real time!

This country has no shame!’

Why Are they going to play themselves

Gay

They already made it. Desperate Housewives.

This is ridiculous. Now they get to make money off of their story?

I wish Hollywood would make a movie or series about how cnn destroyed it’s credibility. But I guess that would be the dirty slandering the unclean.

That’s right give these rich bitches more money to cheat and lie.

Will they play themselves?

Booo!... why make light of their privileged crime and allow them to profit? There is no “relatability” when there are two black women sitting in prison NOW who used the “wrong” zip code to achieve better education for their children 🤦🏽‍♀️

NBC29

They should play each other!

On the hallmarkchannel ?

Let’s hope son of Sam rule applies

I’m sure the Hollywood writers will spin things in favor of these criminals. I won’t watch this crap 💩

Fool House

Why

Wow. Only in America can a scandal about class, white privilege, and money be turned into a tv show.

Ridiculous!!!

They should let them play themselves.

Nope!! Especially if this means either will receive a cut of the profits for their story!!

No

Only Hollywood not even 6 months into going public is turning this into television show... pathetic

Never liked Lori. Felicity totally disappointed me. Go do some community service first before you come back and pedal us your sob story.

Tagline of the series: “You don’t make it in the college without making few years in prison”

No, we don’t need to excuse or normalize their behavior.

Always remember CHILDREN: As your parent, I had ABSOLUTELY NO FAITH IN YOUR ABILITY TO FEND FOR YOURSELF! SO I TRIED TO BUY YOUR WAY INTO COLLEGE!

Hallmark and Lifetime are now in a dispute over who will debut this boring movie.

Bring everyone involved to court, or none of them. If justice CHERRY PICKS THEM and no one else, it’s proof the system is rigged. Smh

Why?

NO!!! This isn’t how it should work!!!

How much are they getting for that

😂😂😂😂what goes around comes around.

We know almost nothing about it. Clearly it’ll be fiction.

Tell me they’re not playing themselves’

Of course it is

Who cares!

Do people hv to make money off everything. This one is a skip for me!

Is it on Lifetime? 😂

Talk about inspired casting!

So fucking unnecessary

Desperate Jail Wives

Starting Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman 😂😂

On Lifetime LOL

Wow anything to make a buck...

Its joke

Only in America, how crass.

They can all play themselves!

Starring....these two silly tarts?

Let me guess the Hallmark channel!

OH FOR EFFS SAKE.....SERIOUSLY

Starring Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman

Working title “Dumbbelles”.

Wtf? I hope they don’t make a dime off of it! All the money should go to someone else’s tuition who is actually deserving of it!

What..so they can get money to help pay for the crimes that they committed? Why don't we do a story on Robert Kraft? Ohh right..its called the Superbowl...

Never waste an opportunity to make a buck. Case was announced like a month ago. Jesus Christ. You gonna have the defends star as themselves?

If it’s starring Lori and Felicity I’m

Will they profit? wtf?

Oh please

Why?

I guess they need money for legal fees?

So they do something shitty and yet get a tv show.... like get out of here. Where’s the next ship to mars cuz I’m done 😂😂😂😂

Cool if they play each other!

What will they call it- Life hacks of the rich and famous?

They get that chick that plays the morning show host in that Facts of Life TV show to play her

I'm surprised that LawandOrderSVU1 hasn't made an episode of it yet.

Make a series about spygate.

I hope these scumsbgs aren’t getting a check from this

The angry liberals cant wait to make money off of it!

They should play themselves

Expose them. Especially Lauren.

You set these people up to be bigger than life, leading them the believe they we're so great. Now you got more than you bargain for, for now. You set others up for the same down fall...

They can play them selves probably the only work they will get

Hopefully they get to play themselves, probably need the work

Wow! They should put the photo of the person in charge of this in the dictionary next to the word: opportunistic.

Will they be in it?

Omg. When I thought CNN could not reach a real low and has absolutely this. How sad

😂 boring.... (yawn)

Sounds about white

It will be amazing I know!

🤦🏼‍♀️💩💩

I don't know any of them or what the we're featured in. I don't take with anyone featured as so called stars. They mean nothing to me. The haves don't care for the have nots and I feel the same.

That struggle for original content

Shocking....

That disgusting! They bribed, and cheated to get their kids into college. Now they will be paid royalties for the scandal. I hope it flops.

Well, that should make for riveting tv.

NOT appropriate! They better not be part of the team or paid.

Do they get to star, I mean in their off time from prison.

Shock & Aww at first holy crap in the middle then rewarded in the end we’ve seen this series before save it

Will they play themselves

I hope they hire Melania so she can plagiarize the scrip from Michelle.

What a bore that will be.

Omg. This is really news for CNN. YOU MUST BY ASHAMED

Misery loves company.

I can't imagine this racket isn't still going on. Maybe they should develop a reality show based on it.

Why?

Sad

Well they don’t to look far for actors who could be perfect for these roles

Stupid rich entitled pieces of shit

There will a version of this on Pornhub also.

They should get the lady who played aunt Becky to play her. They look identical 😂

Oh goody goody. Sounds riveting.

Why?

Starring lori and felicity? Get it done

Is it AMERICAN CRIME? She can play herself.

No one: Not a soul: Producers: Y’know, that college admissions scandal perpetrated by tv actresses would make for good tv.

No thanks. Not amused.

They should get super meta with this and make two play each other.

Two ditzy blondes! It's embarrassing being a blonde!

Nobody can come up with an original idea so they use this. Laughable

I'd only watch it if they played themselves, otherwise it just sounds flat out boring to me... What they did was wrong, and they deserve to face the consequences, but I think people are overestimating the public's interest in this.

College in the USA is not understood financially. CollegeCost do not align with the American Dream

Post modern America is clown world, I think the Mayan apocalypse actually did happen in 2012

The rumor is Felicity plays Lori and Lori plays Felicity

Nobody should want to see that.

Leave it to Hollywood to glorify the debauchery and excesses of their own members.

There always a way that these people find to make money....🙄

For fuck sake.....why......is it gonna be a fucking hallmark movie and Lori is gonna play herself

How rich people can get hurt. Sad. So Sad... Watch it tonight on ABC, Same time, same channel. Sponsor by: Get Out Jail Card Free. by Smith & Smith Attorney at Law.

Nobody wants it

toosoon no hellno

Seriously? Question I have is, are those two going to make money off of it?

Will they be playing themselves

They should be forced to play themselves and donate their full salaries to the students who earned the spots their kids took by their lying and cheating. Then? Jail time. Sound like a plan? Cool.

oh ffs

Mother of the Year

They get to play themselves from jail in a reality prison show while their kids cut class to come visit them.

WHY!

Are they going to play themselves?

Nobody asked for this. Nobody wants this.

Please give them the show so the judge can see what a mockery they are making out of this. I’m sure he or she will make an example out of them

At least someone is about to face justice in this country. Finally! Maybe our judiciary is not completely screwed up after all

It’ll be on the history channel lol

Oh good.

American Crime?

A whole series.

Tv sucks

What?

How dumb

Kids could be in the show too! Solves that gettin-a-job-college problem. Gotta luv American ingenuity.

Pity this will be their legacies. It'll overshadow their entire careers. Smh

Wonder how Hollywood will spin it to be TRUMPS fault ?

Um, no. You don’t get to profit off of disenfranchising kids who deserve the spots they bought for their children!

Hahahaha of course they'd benefit from all that. Well-done, ladies -_-

What’s the title gonna be, Crazy Rich Caucasians?

This is ridiculous but I'm not surprised.

Full Big House?

Mr Nadler literally said he will use prison in basement for chief of law enforcement. Mr. Jordan wandering what Radicals can do to us. Hot economy of MAGA neutralized PC police- fired pple for...Hard even to know. BREAKING NEWS secret most comforting for Democrats -for Trump

You may want to define ‘college’ for the “fake news” crowd. They’ve never heard of it.

Too soon?

Que chevere

Do we really need a whole series?

...

Are they going to play themselves? 🤔 😅

Television is shit.

no.

Will they play themselves?

Too soon. Wait a few years.

I have the perfect actresses to play the roles

Omg 🤦🏽‍♂️

Who gives a shhhh

Just make it a documentary and let them play themselves.. since they obviously played themselves by doing something as dumb as this

That was fast😆😆
