Wendy Williams says if Felicity Huffman was black she would have gotten 14 years instead of 14 days

Wendy Williams says race played a huge role in the sentencing of actress Felicity Huffman following her guilty plea in the college admission scandal.

The New York City native, 55, said on The Wendy Williams Show Monday that if the Desperate Housewives actress, 56, was black, her sentence would have been exponentially longer than the 14 days she was sentenced to Friday.

‘If she was black, it’d be 14 years,’ Williams said, clarifying that she was sympathetic to Huffman – who pleaded guilty to federal mail fraud conspiracy charges this past May – and thinks she deserves a second chance.

The latest: Wendy Williams, 55, said Monday on her show that race played a huge role in the 14-day sentence of actress Felicity Huffman, 56, following her guilty plea in the college admission scandal 

‘Do I think she’ll ever work again? Yeah – because first of all, she copped to it,’ Williams said. ‘Second of all, she’s one half of a power couple in Hollywood. And she’s a nice woman.’

The talk show host said Huffman ‘just did something that … a lot of mothers would do if [they] had the means.’

In addition to the two weeks in custody, Huffman was sentenced to one year of supervised release, 250 community service hours and a fine of $30,000.

Williams said justice would have been better served had the financial ramifications been more severe: ‘I think she should have been fined millions; also, the money that she is fined, hopefully, will be given to support those who can’t afford a better education.’

Understanding: The talk show host said Huffman ‘just did something that … a lot of mothers would do if [they] had the means’

Moving forward: The actress was ‘not disappointed or relieved about the’ sentence, an insider told People 

Easier times: Huffman, husband William H. Macy and their daughters Georgia (L) and Sofia were snapped at the Golden Globes in LA earlier this year 

Williams was far more critical of Full House actress Lori Loughlin, who was also charged in the scandal and has pleaded not guilty with her designer husband Mossimo Giannulli.

 ‘She should go all the way under the jail – the wealthy arrogance of it all – and I don’t think she’ll ever work again,’ she said of Loughlin, who’s accused with her husband of spending $500,000 in bribes to get their daughters Isabella Rose, 21, and Olivia Jade, 19, recruited to the University of Southern California’s rowing team, despite the fact neither were rowers.

On Friday, Huffman told U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston that she felt she’d ‘betrayed’ her family – husband William H. Macy and daughters Sofia, 19, and Georgia, 17 – for her role in the scheme, in which she paid $15,000 for an proctor to correct wrong answers on Sofia’s SATs.

A source close to the Oscar-nominated Transamerica actress told People Friday that the actress was ‘not disappointed or relieved about the’ sentence, but rather ‘contrite and humbled and accepts the outcome.’

The source continued: ‘Felicity knows she has a lot of work ahead of her to heal her family and win back the trust of the public, her colleagues and friends. She hopes the public will give her a second chance.’
