Netflix has postponed the release of an upcoming romantic comedy starring Felicity Huffman following her agreeing to plead guilty over a college bribery scam.
The film, entitled Otherhood, was scheduled for release on April 26 but Netflix have now said this will not go ahead, offering no new release date.
Huffman and 13 other people have agreed to plead guilty to a charge of conspiracy and fraud for participating in what prosecutors are calling the largest college admissions scam uncovered in US history.
The Desperate Housewives star is among 33 parents who were charged in March with participating in the scheme in hopes of getting their children into universities including Yale, Georgetown and the University of Southern California.
Prosecutors, as part of a plea deal, agreed to recommend a prison term at the "low end" of the four to 10 months Huffman faces under federal sentencing guidelines. She also agreed to pay a $20,000 fine and restitution.
In a statement, Huffman apologised for taking part in the scam and said she will "accept the consequences that stem from those actions."
She said: "My daughter knew absolutely nothing about my actions, and in my misguided and profoundly wrong way, I have betrayed her.
"This transgression toward her and the public I will carry for the rest of my life. My desire to help my daughter is no excuse to break the law or engage in dishonesty."
