Alyssa Milano fires back at critics as fundraiser for son's baseball adventure sparks controversy among MLB enthusiasts

Actress Alyssa Milano came under sharp criticism from netizens after she requested money for her son's baseball team. Fans were surprised, wondering why the actress is requesting funding when she's a multimillionaire.

However, Milano was not one to back down, as she sent out a fiery response, claiming that she had already done her bit financially.

"I’m getting media inquiries about whether I have financially contributed to my son’s baseball team," she wrote on X. "I’ve paid for uniforms for the entire team and coaches, thrown bday parties and sponsor any kid who can’t afford monthly dues."

Earlier, Milano shared a post on X to help her son's baseball team on their Cooperstown trip. She also shared the GoFundMe donation link for users willing to donate and support.

That led to fans taking a dig at Milano's millionaire status and calling her out for asking for money.
