Julia Roberts "sad" that Louri Loughlin and Felicity Huffman didn't have faith in their children to get admissions on own merit

Loughlin and Huffman were two out of fifty people charged in the biggest college admissions scam uncovered by federal authorities.

Julia Roberts has weighed in on the college admission scandal in the US, saying that parents should have more faith in their children to get admissions in colleges.

The scandal which was uncovered last Tuesday has embroiled actresses Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman among many others, prompted Roberts to opine that it was "sad" that the parents in the scandal did not have faith in their children to get into college on their own merits and hard work. 

The mother of three made the comments while appearing on TV host Lorraine Kelly's show in order to promote the release of 'Ben Is Black' in the UK along with co-star Lucas Hedges. During the show, the host asked the actress about her thoughts on the scandal which came to light last week.
