Actress Eva Amurri Martino, the daughter of Susan Sarandon and Italian director Franco Amurri, faced severe backlash on social media for the crime of throwing her five-year-old daughter a Mexican-themed birthday while not being of Mexican descent herself.
The outrage began when Martino posted several photos of the party on Instagram, which featured her daugher, Marlowe, wearing sugar skull face paint. Critics accused her of cultural appropriation while perpetuating Mexican stereotypes. In a lengthy response, the actress said she never wished to offend anyone and only hosted the party due to her daughter’s love of the Disney animated film “Coco.”
