Hey there, let’s dive right in. Another well-known voice has joined the conversation about the massive college admissions scandal that’s been shaking up the nation. This time, it’s none other than Rita Wilson, who opened up on Busy Tonight with her candid thoughts about the controversy. Let me tell you, what she had to say was both thought-provoking and eye-opening.
Rita Wilson Speaks Her Mind
During her appearance on the late-night show on Thursday, March 14, Rita Wilson, the talented actress and singer, didn’t hold back when discussing the scandal. At 62 years old, she expressed her deep concern and frustration with the unethical practices exposed in the college admissions process. “It is so unethical and disturbing because there are kids who work incredibly hard, who are on financial aid, and who are desperate for a spot in any college,” Rita told host Busy Phillips. She went on to elaborate, “It’s also incredibly insulting to the colleges that aren’t considered elite, as if there’s somehow a difference in the education provided. The truth is, it doesn’t matter where you go to school; it’s all about the hard work you put in.”
The Scandal Unveiled
Tom Hanks’ wife, Rita Wilson, was referring to the infamous college scam that involved numerous wealthy parents, including Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman, who were allegedly involved and have been indicted. According to court documents obtained by ABC News, the Full House alum, 54, agreed to pay bribes totaling $500,000 in exchange for having their two daughters, Isabella, 20, and Olivia Jade, 19, designated as recruits to the USC crew team, despite neither of them participating in the sport. This scheme, among others, facilitated their admission to USC, sparking outrage across the nation.

Hollywood Weighs In
Rita Wilson isn’t the only one in Hollywood who has spoken out about the scandal. Just recently, Kelly Ripa voiced her strong opinions on Live! With Kelly and Ryan on Tuesday, March 12. “Let me tell you something. As a parent who has gone through this process twice so far, test-taking is a nightmare,” the 48-year-old told her audience. “It is so exhausting… for the student, for the parents, for everybody involved. Particularly if you are my kids’ tutor, I would think it would be exhausting for you as well. You look at this and you go, ‘If you have the money to afford a tutor, you already have an advantage.’”
