Lawyer shares new video of controversial Sesame Place incident that sparked outrage

PHILADELPHIA - The attorney for the family in the middle of the alleged discrimination controversy at Sesame Place shared new video of the incident they believe supports their claims that two Black girls were intentionally snubbed by a character. Jodi Brown posted a video last weekend showing her daughter Skylar Brown, 6, and her niece Nylah Brown, 6, being ignored by a Sesame Place character while children of other races were greeted. The video has since been viewed more than 750,000 times on Instagram since Brown posted it on her personal page. After the release of the video, celebrities and public figures began speaking out, calling for Sesame Place to address the video. RELATED HEADLINESThe theme park issued an apology on Instagram, saying, "The performer portraying the Rosita character has confirmed that the ‘no’ hand gesture seen several times in the video was not directed to any specific person, rather it was a response to multiple requests from someone in the crowd who asked Rosita to hold their child for a photo which is not permitted." The apology was not well received, and more families began coming forward with allegations and videos alleging similar experiences at the park. In a second apology, the theme park said it would conduct training for employees to deliver a more "inclusive, equitable and entertaining experience" to guests. On Wednesday, Jodi and Nylah Brown were present at a press conference with their attorney B'Ivory Lamarr and activist Tamika Mallory of Until Freedom. A family from New York has accused Sesame Place of discrimination after a video showing a theme park character ignoring two 6-year-old girls went viral on social media.
