As of 2023, it had been nearly six years since Felicity Huffman drove her daughter Sophia Grace Macy to the SAT exam, knowing that her test results would be great no matter how Macy actually did on the test. Instead of putting it behind her, however, Huffman talked about it. “Admitting you’re wrong is never an easy task,” Jess Ponce III said of Huffman’s interview. “Now imagine choosing to admit fault and apologizing for your actions well after an issue has been settled. That’s exactly the stance Felicity Huffman took in her interview this past week.”
Jess Ponce III did point out that Huffman made a choice to talk about the scandal on TV, which meant she was facing up to her actions. “She chose to address this issue,” he said. “She could have avoided the topic or declined being interviewed altogether. She willingly stepped into the spotlight of criticism.”
Huffman’s side of the story did seem heartfelt and genuine for Ponce III. “Everything about her body language indicates that she was sincere in her responses,” he told us. “Her eyes were soft and glossy. Her facial gestures and glances downward suggest her answers were thoughtful and heartfelt. Her tone and cadence appropriately set a mood of remorse.”
