Alyssa Milano SLAMMED for sharing GoFundMe for son’s baseball trip: Star – who is ‘worth $10M’ and married to a Hollywood agent – gets trolled by fans
Alyssa Milano was mercilessly trolled this week for sharing a GoFundMe asking for donations for her 12-year-old son’s baseball team trip.
She set up the GoFundMe page herself under her married name and then shared it on her account on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The star is reportedly worth $10 million and she is married to David Bugliari, a talent agent in Hollywood.

In a nod to that detail, a drifter made a $5 donation to the baseball trip under the screen name DoesntAlyssa HaveEnoughMoney.
