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.

Emmerdale real-life controversies - race row, £30k bill and 'alarming' Covid cases
Emmerdale is known for its fair share of onscreen drama.The ITV soap will celebrate its 40th anniversary later this year, with a number of dramatic storylines set to reach their crescendos.While there have been many upsets and scandals onscreen, incidences of real life drama have also been known to brew up in the Dales.From a recent race row which led one actor to allegedly quit and another two actors to be temporarily suspended, to a £30,000 restoration payment and an 'alarming' Covid-testing scandal, Daily Star investigates the biggest real life scandals to emerge from Emmerdale across its 40-year history.Earlier this year, Ellis Chapman actor Aaron Anthony left Emmerdale after three years amid an alleged incidence of racism on-set.The actor's final scenes aired in February.It was reported that Aaron had quit the soap after an investigation was launched into claims two of his co-stars had mimicked 'the accent of a mixed-raced actress' while filming a big on-location stunt.In December, a source told the Sun: "Aaron has been very vocal in his opinions about the allegations and about the way in which the enquiries have been handled by the bosses."He now feels his position on the show is untenable."The actors investigated for the claims were Isabel Hodgins and Matthew Wolfenden.After a three-month absence from filming, in which the investigation concluded the alleged remarks had been "misheard" and no formal action would be taken against them, the duo returned to Emmerdale in January.Their characters Victoria Sugden and David Metcalfe have since featured in a number of big storylines, including a recent engagement fail.In 2012, Emmerdale fan favourite John Barton (James Thornton) was memorably killed off in a gut-wrenching
