Alyssa Milano is once again defending herself over her GoFundMe move to raise cash for her kid’s baseball team — pointing out that even though she’s a celeb … she’s a parent too.
The actress is still facing backlash from an attempt to fundraise for her pre-teen son’s trip to Cooperstown — something she made evident with some screenshots of people apparently attacking her boy on social media, with the kid having to stick up for himself and his mom.

She added a lengthy caption, writing … “Every parent raises money for their child’s sports teams and many of them do so through GoFundMe. I am no different.”
AM elaborated by saying … “As much as I’d love to pay for the entire team and their families for travel, transportation, hotel, food and beverage, uniforms, trading pins and all the things teams do for this kind of trip—I can not afford to do so. Maybe someday.”
She also points out that if she hypothetically did pay for everyone — as the public has strongly suggested she do — then she believes trolls would find a way to criticize her for that too … and Alyssa’s probably right.
One final sentiment from her on this issue … “Leave the kids alone. Let them play baseball. If you are against donating—don’t donate. If you’d like to donate to help the team’s families — we appreciate it—the link is in his bio.”
