Alyssa Milano Faces Backlash for Lavish Super Bowl Trip Instead of Fundraising for Son’s Baseball Team

Alyssa Milano is facing harsh criticism from her Instagram followers following her attendance at the Super Bowl 2024. The actress was accompanied by her son, Milo, but fans were quick to point out that just two weeks prior, she had asked them for a hefty $10,000 in donations towards Milo’s baseball team’s trip to New York.The photo shared by Alyssa on her Instagram shows her and Milo sitting in Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium, several rows up from behind one of the endzone’s goalposts. Alyssa captioned the photo with ‘My buddy,’ along with hashtags like ‘mother son love,’ ‘mother son bond,’ and ‘Super Bowl.’However, the comments section of the post was not as positive as Alyssa may have expected. One follower wrote, ‘How can he get to the game and you request money to take his team to Cooperstown? How out of touch are you?’ Another asked, ‘Is this why you created the GoFundMe? To get you and your kid to the Super Bowl?’Critics argued that the optics of Alyssa attending the Super Bowl after requesting funds for her son’s baseball trip looked extremely bad. One person said, ‘It’s not like anyone’s house burned down, a GoFundMe while you are taking your kid to the SUPERBOWL?!?!?! Just agree with me that the optics look horrible, just give me that.’Some followers even speculated that Alyssa had used the donated money meant for the baseball trip to fund their Super Bowl experience. One comment read, ‘Wow, donations must have been pretty good,’ while another added, ‘So, that’s where all of the ‘donated funds’ went….makes sense.’This backlash came after Alyssa Milano posted a plea on January 25, asking fans to contribute to a GoFundMe campaign for her son and his baseball team’s visit to the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. Many users pointed out that with Alyssa’s $10 million net worth, she could have easily funded the trip herself.The GoFundMe campaign was created with the intention of raising funds for a baseball trip that holds sentimental value to Alyssa and her son. She explained, ‘Baseball is life, and our teammates are our brothers. Baseball gives us purpose and we are driven to be our very best. In order to compete, we must raise funds.’However, fans now question Alyssa’s dedication to fundraising for the baseball team, considering her decision to attend the expensive Super Bowl event. Critics argue that she should have prioritized her son’s team and used her own resources instead of relying on donations from her followers.Alyssa Milano’s Super Bowl appearance has undoubtedly sparked controversy among her fans and followers, causing many to question her intentions and decision-making. Only time will tell how this backlash will affect her reputation and future endeavors.
