A day after the mother of two young Black girls called out Sesame Place in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, for an incident over the weekend in which a character at the theme park appeared to deny and pass by her girls, an attorney for the family said the event has had a devastating effect on them.
"Their hearts were completely shattered by a character," attorney B'Ivory LaMarr told NBC10 in an interview Tuesday. "And tickets are not cheap. This is something these young girls were looking forward to. Words can't describe the type of grief they are going through right now."
In the now viral video posted Saturday on the mother’s Instagram account, two young girls are seen excitedly reaching out to the character Rosita, the first bilingual muppet on Sesame Street. Although it appears that the performer had interacted with other children before reaching the girls, the video seems to show the character shaking their head “no” in the direction of the two young Black girls.
“We were on our way out of sesame place and the kids wanted to stop to see the characters,” the mom wrote on Instagram. “THIS DISGUSTING person blatantly told our kids NO then proceeded to hug the little white girl next to us!”
In response, Sesame Place Philadelphia said in a statement on Instagram Sunday that it the performer did not direct the "no" hand gesture, which was used more than once in the video, toward “any specific person,” but was instead gesturing that way in “response to multiple requests from someone in the crowd who asked Rosita to hold their child for a photo which is not permitted.”

The Dims have become the party of ...race, sex, slavery and being offended.
An agenda that simply CANNOT SURVIVE.
Hurry up November!
Their own constituents can clearly see nobody wants anything to do with them; they drive the hands that feed further and further away, and paved the way for their own replacements to be brought in from overseas. They live in islands surrounded by these replacements, with little contact with traditional “Americans” (at its most basic - US-born English speakers) at all.
What gibberish? I suggested that maybe hugs were not going around due to COVID fear of the Muppet character. Is English your 3rd language?
Turns out not hugging, or picking up children, is the park policy.
