Vera Dutton

Vera Dutton is a villainess from the 2017 Lifetime film, Mommy, I Didn't Do It .

She was played by Jamie-Lynn Sigler.

Vera Dutton is the wife of teacher Gene Dutton, who was the film's murder victim. Vera turned heel due to her insane jealousy by making frequent visits to Julie's school to spy on Gene, doing so due to her belief that every girl in school was lusting after him. After Gene was murdered, Vera informed police that Julie was stalking Gene, leading to Julie being suspected and arrested based on Vera's delusions. In her brief scene, Vera was encountered by Ellen Plainview (Julie's mother) at her workplace, and expressed her condolences regarding her husband's death.

Despite this, Vera lashed out at Ellen and later defended her false statements to police about Julie, stating that Julie's fingerprints were in Gene's car. She callously defended her belief that Julie had an affair with Gene and later killed him, revealing that Julie visited Gene at his house, only to see Vera (Julie later explained that she went there to retrieve her tennis racket, as Gene was also Julie's tennis coach). During her rant, the evil Vera referred to Julie as a "little tramp," and then threatened to call the police on Ellen if she didn't leave right away, establishing Vera's heel persona. The maniacal villainess later stated that she hoped Julie burns in Hell, but the film's progression revealed that Julie's best friend committed the murder. Vera's fate remained unknown.
