“Kids also fundraise themselves”

Hollywood dingbat Alyssa Milano drew even more ridicule this week as she tried to defend her decision to ask for money.

As previously reported, the super-rich actress posted on social media platform X earlier this week asking for random people to donate money to her son's baseball team's GoFundMe campaign.

Due to her enormous wealth, the publication sparked massive outrage, with critics quick to criticize her for not funding the team herself.

In response to the backlash, Milano posted another post on Saturday seeking to defend himself against the criticism by arguing that, one, he's already given a lot to the team, and two, the guys like to do their own “fundraising” .

“I am receiving media inquiries about whether I have contributed financially to my son's baseball team,” he wrote. “I've paid for the uniforms for the whole team and coaches, I've had day parties and I've sponsored any kid who can't pay the monthly fees.”

“Kids do fundraisers too – car washes, movie nights and lots of other fun stuff! Thank you to everyone who contributed to the gofundme! You made it easy for these boys and their families,” he said. add.

Look at:

I've paid for uniforms for the entire team and coaches, thrown day parties and sponsored any kid who couldn't pay the monthly fees.

Undoubtedly, the publication gained some support, and provoked the gratitude of Milan.

“Thank you for helping give these boys a chance to play baseball,” one supporter wrote. “As a former college baseball coach and athletic director, I respect people who give so much of their time, treasure and talents for kids. Everyone has something to contribute.”

“It's unreal, straight away, just because you're an actress, people think you have to finance everything,” added another. “There's nothing wrong with doing that. It's a great example for the kids to see you as Alyssa the mom, not Alyssa the actress. This world is overrun with/Karens!”

But for the most part, the message got additional scorn, derision and derision.

Specific case:

The cost of the trip is 1% of your net worth. Just pay for the trip now and stop relying on public donations to do it for you.

you are so deaf You have millions of dollars and you are asking other people less fortunate than you to pay for your son's team trip. you are ridiculous

When I ask your follower for money, it seems to me that it at least matches what they bring. (Imo) it would be the right thing for your financial situation and that of your followers

It seems unfair to use your fame to raise funds. Many moms like me have had to depend on just washing cars, selling baked goods, or our own funds. Our boys and girls have had to sweat and work hard to achieve this. That's the problem here.

No one cares what you paid or what you didn't pay. What they care about is that you use your celebrity status to reach out to your 3.4 million followers and ask them to help you when most of them earn far less than a famous celebrity. wa portfolio of 10 million dollars. It's embarrassing.

In Milano's original post published Thursday, she said her son's baseball team was raising money for a trip.

“My son's baseball team is raising money for his trip to Cooperstown. Any amount would be greatly appreciated,” she wrote.

The post links to a GoFundMe campaign.

“Baseball is life and ours [teammates] they are our brothers Baseball gives us purpose and we are driven to be the best. To compete, we have to raise funds”, says the campaign.

“We hope you will donate to keep our team competitive. Your donation will go towards travel expenses, uniforms and fees for families. We could also use your donations for pins or novelty items to make our tournaments be memorable experiences beyond the pitch,” he continues.

As of Saturday morning, the team had raised only $8,711 of the $10,000 it needed. Considering Milano has almost 3.5 million followers on X, it seemed like a small amount…
