She and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, turned themselves into authorities on Wednesday and were later released on $1 million bond. They are accused of paying $500,000 in bribes to get their daughters into the University of Southern California (USC). (RELATED: REPORT: 7 FBI Agents Arrested Felicity Huffman At Gunpoint)
