BeforeFelicity Huffmanfaced fraud charges for allegedly participating in a college cheating scheme, her husbandWilliam H. Macyspoke out about how lying is “never” worth it in the long run.
In a February interview withMen’s Journal, theShamelessstar, 69, said that the best advice he’d ever received was to “never lie.”
“It’s the cheapest way to go. Lies cost you a lot, and they’re never worth what they cost,” he said.
“Like the flu — you let it run its course,” he remarked.
Prior to being indicted, Huffman also posted a blog post on hernow-deleted parenting siteWhat the Flicka?, warning against lying.
During the interview, Macy went on to effusively praise Huffman, specifically celebrating her parenting skills.
“I married very, very well. It’s great fun for me to watch Felicity. I love the way she mothers our daughters,” he said. “And her career — I find myself getting lazy and slowing down and losing my drive. My wife is doubling down.”
As for the secret to their marriage, Macy said it all boiled down to communication.
“Sooner or later you’re going to have to talk about it. My wife likes to talk, but I’m not a fan of talking because talking leads to communication, and from there it’s a slippery slope to feelings, and then the next thing you know, you’re living in your life. Nobody wants that,” he said, joking about the benefits of communication.
Three days after she wasreleased on a $250,000 bond, Macy and Huffman were seen making their way back to a Los Angeles courthouse together on Friday.

Huffman and fellow actressLori Loughlin, along with Loughlin’s husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, were among 50 people named in an alleged conspiracy to defraud and undermine competitive student admissions at elite colleges and universities including Yale, Georgetown, the University of Southern California and Stanford, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts.
Meanwhile, Macy wasnot indicted.
According to the indictment, Singer “advised investigators that Huffman and her spouse agreed to the plan.”
Compared to the results of the daughter’s earlier Preliminary SAT exam completed without any suggestion of cheating, the indictment states, “Ultimately, Huffman’s daughter received a score of 1420 on the SAT, an improvement of approximately 400 points over her PSAT, taken without CW-2 one year earlier.”
PEOPLE was unable to reach a representative for Huffman and Macy.
