The nerve of Aylssa Milano!
After disclosing on Sunday, February 11, that she attended Super Bowl 2024 with her son Milo, two weeks after requesting fans to donate $10,000 for his baseball team’s impending trip to New York, Alyssa Milano received backlash from some of her Instagram followers.
Milano shared a photo to her Instagram revealing she was at the Super Bowl.

This did not sit well with others.
The NFL’s lowest priced Super Bowl tickets were almost $2,000, with most selling for significantly more.
It all began when the actress asked followers to donate to a fundraiser for her son’s baseball team’s trip on X, which was formerly Twitter, late last month. She provided a link to a May 2023 GoFundMe page that was asking for $10,000.
“My son’s baseball team is raising money for their Cooperstown trip. Any amount would be so greatly appreciated. You can read more about the team and make a donation here.”
Her post quickly received backlash!
“Alyssa Milano has absolutely lost her mind,” another asserted. “How out-of-touch and tone deaf can one person possibly be?
“My son’s team is also going to Cooperstown. Please donate to them so that they can beat Alyssa’s kid’s team. https://gofund.me/03db570e,” someone said.

After posting that she was attending the Super Bowl people had thoughts.
“Wow, donations must have been pretty good 👏👏👏”
“Wow, donations must have been pretty good,” another wrote.
“Let’s be real for a second. How can a celebrity start a gofundme for her son and say that she couldn’t afford it but then pull up to the super bowl? Please explain??? I’m sure I’m not the only one that would love to hear YOUR answer, let alone hers???”
Some commenters came to her defense.
“People need to relax, she’s having an experience with her kid. Knock it off jeez”
“These negative comments are ridiculous. Alyssa, I’ve been a fan….I’m still a fan. I hope you and your son enjoy the game!”
