Felicity Huffman's former Desperate Housewives castmate Ricardo Chavira has
slammed her 14-day sentence as 'white privilege'.
The actor, who starred with the actress on all eight seasons of Desperate
Housewives, took to Twitter on the same day a judge handed down her punishment,
calling it a 'slap on the wrist'.
Huffman pleaded guilty in the Operation Varsity Blues college admissions
cheating scandal and was sentenced last month.
Chavira, who played the husband of Eva Longoria's character, Carlos Solis, on
the ABC show, wrote on September 13: 'White Privilege. And I saw Eight years
worth of it, so I know what I'm talking about.
'Accountability and Responsibility don't mean s*** to these people.'
The 48-year-old actor went on to claim that he experienced discrimination during
his time working with Huffman on set of the drama.
Chavira continued: 'I saw Eight years worth of it working on Housewives.
'I've seen a lifetime of it being a halfbreed, and I've struggled w the
intricacies of it on a daily basis w all the cultural bias I've received on both
ends. But whatever. Slap on the wrist. Sorry, but this s***.'
One follower questioned him on why he had to bring race into the argument in a
now-deleted post and the actor was not afraid to respond.
He wrote: 'But it's not about race. Tired of stupid people and their stupid
arguments. If you haven’t lived it, you really have no say. Stay in your lane.'
Chavira - who starred with the actress on all eight seasons of Desperate
Housewives - took to Twitter to blast the 56-year-old actress for her 'slap on
the wrist' sentencing
His fellow co-star Longoria had written Huffman a letter of support for her
161-page sentencing memorandum.
Longoria shared that Huffman supported her when she was bullied at work in her
early days of fame.
'I … know these things may sound like first class problems or small
insignificant moments. But to a young, naive, Mexican girl who felt like I
didn’t belong, those gestures meant the world to me,' Longoria wrote.
The Eva Longoria Foundation philanthropist continued explaining that she has
seen Huffman do good for young people.
'The most special part about this is that my charities were always for children
of the Latino community … There were so many times Felicity was the only white
woman in the room helping me improve the lives of these brown faces and
families. I will never forget that.'
