What an idiot! I wonder if he sees Pat Boone when he looks in the mirror. Lose the money and he will become another nobody who many still believe are second class citizens. Good students should not be cheated or by.pass by an amoral celebrity.

Now 14 days is ridiculous! She should have gotten 14 months or 14 years. So the courts is going to give that young mother 5 years for giving the wrong address. Does anybody see this is wrong. I have a feeling the judge was paid off too for the 14 day sentence. So annoying!!!🤬

Break the law go to jail... simple!!

This John Legend - whoever he is - does not sound like a sensible person. He probably knows F. Hufman and as her friend, he is spouting off nonsense! As for his singing, it sucks! He can't even come close to singing like the greatest singer, Michael Jackson.

I agree 100 percent! Community Service will be of benefit to the community and is perfect for her. Locking Felicity Huffman up is not an appropriate punishment for her crime. She’s not a hardened criminal with no feelings. She is remorseful. She didn’t kill someone !

Sorry johnlegend FH broke the law! Had it been a non celeb I am sure they would have gotten more prison time. She should get more than just 14 days!

Jail and prison are different. She deserves jail time for her actions. This is California and she will be released probably after serving 7 days.

It is the answer. It will deter others. Its 14 days she can handle it. The criminal record wont hurt her career. The fact she admitted wrong doing & regret along with the 2 wk sentence people will forgive her & respect she stepped up to take responsibility. Respect for her.

Anyone else would have gotyears!!

I would have rather she been ordered to endow a scholarship for underprivileged kids. That would have at least done some good in the world.

I’m sorry. I disagree with you. If you willingly break the law you should pay the consequences. It shouldn’t matter whether you are famous, rich or just plain likable. Rules are made for a reason. If you bend the rules for some and not others that would be discriminatory.

In this case they are!

In this case Oh yes they are

Cheese Whiz! It’s supposed to a punishment - not summer camp! And it’s only 2 weeks. I think she’ll survive.

How many ridiculous things does he need to say before we stop listening?

So what happens to those who took the money? Are those individuals/institutions not held responsible for their part in this?

I believe she deserved more time because she KNEW what she was doing was wrong. I’m so sick of Hollywood getting away with crimes everyday people don’t. Fuck you John Legend. I’m all for prison reform, but we need to make examples of these Hollywood idiots.

I think she should have to pay tuition for a student who could not afford it every year for the rest of her life

johnlegend seems to be so knowledgeable these days. Had this been IvankaTrump he would have said lock her up & throw away the key! Guess what John, “actions have consequences”!

Can someone explain to me the difference between jail and prison please?!

So what is answer John? Set her free? So she can do it for getting a job? Oh I got acting gig by paying for it.

They absolutely are the answer, she’s “lucky” it wasn’t longer

Prisons and jails sadly are the only answer ...The thought of being locked up for years dosent stop people and even after being locked up they do it again or worse usually ..So lets say prisons give society a little relief when criminals are behind bars

Don’t you think it’s weir these are the people shouting about privilege and unfair America yet here they are being privileged and unfair?

This guy should shut up..

That’s crazy, 15 days... not saying it should have longer.. but 30 days maybe would have taught her a better lesson... on the 15 she might do 8, at least the 30 would have given her 18 Days!

Make them pay for the whole undergraduate college education for 3 low-income students

yes they are she acted as if she’s entitled to circumvent rules of admission.

Oh my God John Legend needs to take a seat. Just cause he has a lot of shit to say — it doesn’t mean we all need to hear it — every time somethings on the news.

Sorry but I don’t see why I should pay for her room and board for 14 days. Why not make her contribute $100 grand to a start up that provides scholarships for low income college students.

YES IT IS! Don’t do the crime if you don’t want to do time. johnlegend

I love that vacant look on her face like she's not quite sure what planet she's on. If her children are half that intelligent looking I get why she was paying for them to go anywhere.

Probably reacted this way because more than half of the Hollywood parents get their dumbass kids into all the top shelf universities the same way.

Maybe we should send her to Aruba to think about what she did. Or Paris. Or better yet let’s send her to Miami Beach. Is he out of his mind?

Neither are slaps on wrists

Prison is where somebody who broke the lot needs to be thank you John legend for your uneducated remark

So he will feel the same about Lori Laughlin? 🤨

The crazy thing is if it was any normal everyday person we would be screwed and get years. Our fine justice system at its finest. It's all worthless.

I agree 100% John.

If you do something illegal it is just because she’s white and has money shouldn’t exclude her.

Why not? Is it because you are both wealthy and above the rest of us? Would you feel that way if it was a non celebrity?

Exactly right

They are when you commit a crime, buddy 😒

Living with Chrissy Teigen is enough torture.

I agree - I think community service for a lengthy amount of time and donating money to charity would be so much more useful

🤐 zip it

Perhaps rather than a jail sentence, these rich people who did this should pay for an underprivileged child to attend a private school, or make a sizeable donation to an inner city school.

Prisons and jails are not the answer to Celebrities. They are above the law and their words are our gospel! hollywoodpuke🤮consequences

Don’t worry...she will have a book/movie deal before the 14-Day Sentence is over.... 14-Days is an insult to our intelligence!

I agree that is not the answer. They should make each of the people involved pay the full tuition for other kids who worked hard & can’t afford to get into these schools. That to me me would be justice.

Do the crime, do the time... the crime is not what she paid for, it’s for denying a well deserved student his/her chance to get in... money talks, merit walks?

I love him!!!👏👏👏

johnlegend I agree with what you are saying to a point. But anyone who commits a crime has to have a consequence. Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.

They are the adult version of “time out”. She got a lot of community service to do though.

Not that I would wish bad things on him or his family but I can’t wait to see if he “agrees” with prison when someone does something horrible to his family and the only consequence is prison... you think he’ll agree then or should that person just get a learning retreat weekend?

He’s not wrong

johnlegend and if she didn't get caught, she'd be bragging during interviews about how her daughter goes to USC. i can't feel sorry for her.

sorry but don't agree with johnlegend . she broke the law and between the public humiliation, her broken relationship with her kids and husband, her career is probably done...and jail time, it will deter someone else from possibly doing it. when you play, you have to pay.

I think she should have got more than 14 days. If it was as anyone else she would have got more

There needs to be SOME consequences for committing a crime. Taking their money isn’t enough. They NEED to know that if you commit a crime you go to jail. 14 days is nothing. I doubt she will even step in the prison. They will put a monitor on her ankle and call it 14 days

Why the exception for her, there are a lot of people in jail that could have used an alternative but because of her privilege...

Maybe someone should be helping her....Kim Kardashian !!

Have any of you been in prison any day in prison is punishment, Freedom is taken from you it’s not easy she admitted she was wrong And now she’s going to pay the consequences!

Totally agree! Anyone will act the same, it’s surreal to point your fingers at others but to don’t see yourself doing same, whoever says they will not do is a Liar! 5 years for sending your child for better learning... wow! Why not support all schools to get better?

Tell that to the mom who used a different address to get her child in a better school. She’s serving a 5 year sentence!

John Legend makes a very valid point. Jails and prisons should be used for the serious cases not dumb mistakes. The justice system needs an overhaul.

What?!?! Crimes were committed, consequences are necessary.

14 is not shit...it a dress rehearsal for a damn up coming episode...but the other one will be made an example of😂😂✌✌

Agree. Instead, she should have paid for 20 years of college tuition for underprivileged kids who had good enough but not not top tier SATs. Make the punishments fit the crimes. 14 days in a special jail will essentially be a retreat for her and no one benefits.

johnlegend She was wrong John. She committed a crime. Stop sugar coating this!

Shut up John, what you worried they may catch your wife in something? Others have been sentenced to more for just putting their kids in a different school district. Oh, wait they aren’t rich and can’t help ur career. Maybe they could challenge the system and get them out.

I 1000% disagree. All of these parents deserve jail time. 14 days is a freaking joke!!

14 days is a joke on all of us, the rest of society. Prision is the answer, and hard labor,but not for 14 days. What other deterrent do you see for these disgusting elites?! John Legend is one of them, he is defending their privileges.

Spoken like a privilidged White man !

It makes sense John Legend!

I wish they had just made her make a scholarship to that school for double the amount she paid to get her kids in 🤷‍♀️

John love ya but bro...just wrong on this one

I understand Legend's viewpoint. I, oddly enough, went with the crowd in thinking this type of crime deserves incarceration. But Legend has a point. We, as a nation, are quick to lock people up. We should think of alternatives.

Hey, a 2-week holiday and she’ll be back as big as ever in one year. Celebs just need to hide for a year, then everyone forgets

Absolutely

I do agree that the woman who was sentenced years and years for enrolling her son in the wrong school should have NOT gone to prison at all (I may have the gist of the story wrong). But yeah she shouldn’t be in prison.

Im sure FH is jumping for joy after not getting 20 years in prison. So yeah, I’d say prison is the answer for this. She’ll certainly never do It again.
