The College Admissions Scandal follows Caroline (Penelope Ann Miller), a sought after interior designer and Bethany (Mia Kirshner), an owner of a successful financial services firm, who share an obsession with getting their teenagers into the best possible college. When charismatic college admissions consultant Rick Singer (Michael Shanks) offers a side door into the prestigious institutions of their dreams, Caroline and Bethany willingly partake with visions of coveted acceptance letters in their heads. But when Singer cooperates with the FBI and pleads guilty, the mothers who risked everything for their kids, must face the consequences of their crimes and the loss of trust and respect from their families.
This scene from the Lifetime movie of a daughter faking athletic skills is taken right out of the playbook used by Lori Loughlin.
Actresses Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman were among 50 people charged in March with paying bribes to get their children into elite colleges in Operation Varsity Blues.
