Still, many expressed outrage online, and some called for a boycott of the amusement park. In California: What Sesame Place San Diego aims to do differently with autistic guests in mind Sesame Place added: "The Rosita performer did not intentionally ignore the girls and is devastated by the misunderstanding." In an initial statement shared on social media Sunday, Sesame Place said that the park and its employees stand for “inclusivity and equality in all forms" and that the "costumes our performers wear sometimes make it difficult to see at lower levels and sometimes our performers miss hug requests from guests." This is not about money, but they do need to take responsibility and make sure these girls get the adequate care that they deserve.”įor now, the family's attorney said Wednesday, the family is calling on Sesame Place to fire the employee, take care of the health and mental health expenses for the two girls after the incident, and issue a "genuine and authentic" apology – not a "watered-down" explanation. "All options are on the table," LaMarr said Wednesday. "The last thing we want to do is file a lawsuit. Updates were expected in the coming days. LaMarr's law office confirmed to USA TODAY early Thursday that LaMarr had communicated with the counsel for Sesame Place but that no lawsuit had been filed yet. "THIS DISGUSTING person blatantly told our kids NO then proceeded to hug the little white girl next to us! Then when I went to complain about it, they looking at me like I'm crazy," Brown wrote in her post Saturday. “I will never step foot in ever again." In the video, posted to Instagram by Jodi Brown, "Sesame Street" character Rosita is shown high-fiving a white child and woman – but then gesturing “no” and walking away from Brown's daughter and niece, who had their arms stretched out for a hug and high-five during the parade at Sesame Place in Langhorne, outside Philadelphia. Now, the family is calling on the theme park to fire the employee.
Outrage has spread after a viral video showed a costumed performer at Sesame Place visibly dismiss two 6-year-old Black girls on Saturday. No lawsuit has been filed yet, but "all options are on the table," the family's lawyer B’Ivory LaMarr said.
