This comes more than a week after video showing two girls being ignored by a theme park character went viral and sparked outrage online.
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.
Attorney Malcolm Ruff said Kennedi was ignored "among a sea of white children" who the characters interacted with instead. The lawsuit, according to Ruff, was filed on behalf of any other Black family or person who believes they were discriminated against at Sesame Place.'We won't accept that': Family seen in viral Sesame Place video speaks out, accuses park of discrimination
Attorney Billy Murphy explained to reporters that the lawsuit is based on Section 1981 of the U.S. Code, which he says protects against a breach of contract based on race.
