Yes, Lifetime Is Making The College Admissions Scandal Into A Real Movie

Well, well. Lifetime is about to cash in on that college admissions scandal involving Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman with an upcoming movie inspired by biggest scam to sweep the nation.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the network will premiere College Admissions Scandal this fall, per a press release. And in case you're wondering, yes: the film sounds as juicy as the real deal.

“College Admissions Scandal will follow two wealthy mothers who share an obsession with getting their teenagers into the best possible college,” reads the statement. “When charismatic college admissions consultant Rick Singer offers a side door into the prestigious institutions of their dreams, they 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.”

In case it wasn't obvious, the "two wealthy mothers" are inspired by Loughlin and Huffman, who were among 50 people indicted back in March for their alleged participation in the college bribery scheme.

Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli have been accused of paying $500,000 to falsify their two daughters' SATs and have them assigned as athletes to facilitate their acceptance into the University of Southern California. Huffman allegedly paid $15,000 to have the same done for her daughter.

Loughlin, who pled not guilty on charges of mail fraud and money laundering conspiracy, faces up to 40 years in prison. Huffman, who was among 13 parents to plead guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud, faces up to 20 years behind bars.
