Felicity Huffman’s career isn’t toast: Why? GlobeArts
. Basically, even in this age of outrage and the mob mentality of online attacks, some showbiz careers aren’t ruined by scandal. It just depends on the scandal and the image the showbiz figure has in the public consciousness. Huffman is considered a serious actress, a feminist and a serious person. That’s what matters. Maybe there is a crisis of morality when it comes to punishing showbiz stars and maybe the public never quite gets beyond its affection for some of them.
The difference between Huffman and Loughlin is that Lori Loughlin has never been considered a serious actor or a serious person. Loughlin didn’t appear on Broadway in David Mamet’s play Speed-the-Plow. Huffman did that. There’s a lip-smacking quality to the news media coverage of Loughlin. Not so with Huffman. And, after all, Loughlin and her husband reportedly spent $500,000 to get a daughter to college, Huffman only spent $15,000. It’s like the amount gives her artistic credibility.
It’s also true that there are various levels of reaction to different kinds of showbiz crimes. Netflix severed ties with Kevin Spacey when the actor was accused of sexual misconduct by numerous men. That cost Netflix millions but it had to be done. Yet, nobody seems to be severing ties with Felicity Huffman.
