March 15, 2019 3:01pm

Mocked mercilessly on social media, actress Felicity Huffman today deleted her Instagram and Twitter accounts.

The former Desperate Housewives star is out on $250,000 bail for her alleged involvement in a college admissions cheating scandal. Huffman used the social media accounts mostly for inspirational posts, and had almost 600,000 Instagram followers; her Twitter count isn’t known.

Professional comedians had a field day with Huffman’s dilemma, and regular posters were just as vicious toward her.

The irony will be that these parents spent all this money to hustle into top universities and are now in the middle of this shit show just to find out in a few years that their kids only have dreams of being an influencer 🙈
