Alyssa Milano, the 51-year-old actress known for her role in the hit sitcom “Who’s the Boss?”, is facing backlash for attending Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, NV. Milano, who has an estimated net worth of $10 million, was criticized for attending the event following her involvement in a GoFundMe scandal.
The Super Bowl is known as the biggest night in the NFL, with tickets ranging from $950 to $9,500 on average. Despite her wealth, Milano’s decision to attend the game with her 12-year-old son, Milo Thomas Bugliari, drew negative comments from her social media followers. Many accused her of hypocrisy, pointing out that she had previously claimed she couldn’t afford to pay for her son’s baseball team trip but could afford expensive Super Bowl tickets.
One Instagram user, @tklowe17, commented, “Sorry I can’t get past her GoFundMe crap.” Another user, @marshazolkower, wrote, “Now you bought these Uber expensive Super Bowl tickets. It’s pretty common knowledge that you have millions.” The criticism continued, with users accusing Milano of being a “rich beggar” and questioning her motives for asking others to donate to her son’s baseball team while she could afford luxury experiences like the Super Bowl.
Milano had created a GoFundMe campaign called the ‘BIRDS 12U Travel Fund’ last year to raise funds for her son’s baseball team away games. The campaign had successfully surpassed its $10,000 goal and raised $15,164. In response to the backlash, Milano defended herself, stating that many parents use GoFundMe to raise money for their children’s sports teams. She explained that while she would love to pay for everything herself, she couldn’t afford to do so and that if she did, her critics would find something else to criticize.
Despite the controversy surrounding her attendance at the Super Bowl, Milano’s career and personal life continue to thrive. She and her husband, David Bugliari, have been married for 14 years and are proud parents to their 12-year-old son and nine-year-old daughter, Elizabella Dylan Bugliari. Milano’s husband is a founding partner at the talent management firm Range Media Partners.
Milano’s journey in the entertainment industry began at the age of 11 when she landed the role of Tony Danza’s daughter on “Who’s the Boss?”. The show aired for eight seasons and ended in 1992. Milano’s daughter, Elizabella, seems to be following in her mother’s footsteps, showing an interest in acting at a young age.
While Alyssa Milano may be facing backlash for attending the Super Bowl after her GoFundMe scandal, her career and family life continue to thrive. Despite the criticism, Milano remains unapologetic about her decision to use GoFundMe to raise funds for her son’s baseball team and her ability to afford luxury experiences like the Super Bowl. As she continues to navigate the world of Hollywood, Milano remains a prominent figure in the entertainment industry.
