Just days after she was criticized on social media for asking for $10,000 in donations for her son's baseball team trip on GoFundMe, spotted Alyssa Milano behind the wheel of her fully loaded and customized electric car 2023 Porsche Taycan 4S – worth an estimated $200,000.
Alyssa, 51, and her 12-year-old son Milo Bugliari spent their Saturday afternoon cuddling adorable rescue puppies at a PetSmart in Los Angeles — and it looks like they even took a couple home with them.
The idyllic scene at the pet store was a stark contrast to the uproar the former Charmed actress sparked earlier this week when she asked her 3.4 million “X” (formerly Twitter) followers for donations to support Milo's Little League team to Cooperstown. Ohio.
People wondered why a Hollywood actress with an estimated net worth of $4 million and married to a high-powered agent at CAA, David Bugliari, 43, had to beg for $10,000 in donations from her fans of more modest means.

Alyssa Milano was mercilessly teased this week for asking for donations on GoFundMe for her 12-year-old son's baseball team trip
“Here is a (photo) that serves as a test paint for a Taycan and costs $13,150,” the Porsche expert sent of a Nordic Gold sports car.
These PTS and Paint To Sample Plus programs give Porsche customers complete control over the color customization of their cars.
It seems it's cheaper to send her son's entire Little League team to the Midwest than to paint the Bugliari's sports car.
After looking at photos of the Porsche, Grombacher said that a “nice version” of the Taycan retails for about $158,000 and that this car is likely “nicely optimized” with extras like custom paint.
Their car has two electric motors, he says, has a top speed of 155 mph and can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds.
With a massive engine output of 320 kW, it delivers 429 hp and up to 522 hp over-boost power with launch control.
On a single full charge, the car can travel up to 235 miles.

Milano has defended her GoFundMe, saying she has donated to the team, bought jerseys and made contributions to financially needy children. To date, the BIRDS 12U Travel Fund has raised $11,150 through 329 donations.
This Porsche appears to have replaced Milano's Tesla, which she abandoned in 2022 as a “protest” against policies she disagreed with on Elon Musk's Twitter.
On November 26, 2022, she posted: “I returned my Tesla. I bought the VW ev. I love it. I'm not sure how advertisers can buy space on Twitter. The products of publicly traded companies that are promoted in line with hatred and white supremacy do not appear to be a successful business model.”
While her VW apparently never made its public debut, this electric Porsche sports car has been her primary mode of transportation for the past 14 months, according to an insider.

Some people simply donate $5 so they can leave a cutting or funny comment that the bright actress will read.
The most common is “Trump 2024,” but there are also “Spoiled Anti-American Begging For Your Money” and “Doesn’t Alyssa Have Enough Money.”
Alyssa and David married in 2009 and live in a $2.5 million, five-bedroom home in the upscale Bell Canyon community with their son Milo and nine-year-old daughter Elizabella, both of whom attend expensive private schools in the LA area
After receiving backlash, Milano defended herself on
She posted a GoFundMe on
There was a hail of criticism on social media, including from one X user who wrote: “I'm sure she's getting backlogs right now.”
“Why doesn’t Alyssa Milano pay for the entire team’s trip herself?” wrote another. “Why is she asking people for money who can barely buy food?”
Another social media user wondered, “Are rich people really completely out of touch with reality?” She has people living check-to-check covering for her son. WTF happened to us.'
“You're a rich actress in Hollywood begging for money for your child?” snapped one X user. “Pay for it yourself, you miserable idiot.”
“#AlyssaMilano would like to know if people could also donate to pay for her toilet paper and possibly snacks,” wrote another.
Another X user wrote, “Alyssa Milano when it's time to pay the bill,” with a GIF of Chris Rock joking on stage, “I identify as poor.”
Alyssa and her husband Dave Bugliari married in 2009 and, in addition to their 12-year-old son Milo, they also have a nine-year-old daughter named Elizabella
Milano, pictured with her son Milo, added: “The kids also do their own fundraising – car washes, movie nights and lots of other fun things!”
The GoFundMe was launched with a goal of $10,000, of which more than $7,000 had been raised as of Friday morning, a day after Milano's controversial post on X
Social media commentators quickly started talking about her, wondering why a famous actress would feel the need to demand money from normal people
Milano also had defenders, such as one who argued on
One of her supporters wrote in her replies: “It's unreal at first glance, just because you're an actress people think you have to finance the whole thing.” There's nothing wrong with you doing that at all. It's a great example for the children to see you as Alyssa the mother and not Alyssa the actress. This world is being overrun by/Karens!'
“I know,” Milano replied. “And I would if I could.”
The actress does not appear among the named donors on the GoFundMe page, although some of the donations were anonymous.
Regarding this detail, a donor under the pseudonym DoesntAlyssa HaveEnoughMoney donated $5 to the baseball trip.
The GoFundMe was launched with a goal of $10,000, of which more than $7,000 had been raised as of Friday morning, a day after Milano's controversial post on X.
She and her family reportedly live in a five-bedroom, $2.5 million home in an upscale gated community in Bell Canyon, about 20 miles north of Los Angeles.
Milano, the celebrity who popularized Tarana Burke's “Me Too” slogan in Hollywood, is often ridiculed for her left-wing political interventions.
Milano also had defenders, such as one who argued on X: “Why should the other parents expect her to pay for all the team stuff?”
She posted a GoFundMe on X on Thursday and wrote, “My son's baseball team is raising money for their Cooperstown trip.” Any amount would be greatly appreciated.
In 2018, she attended a gun control rally where a member of the National Rifle Association (NRA) confronted her security guard, asked if he was armed, received no response, and was led away from the scene.
After being vocal about the “Defund the Police” movement in September 2020, she and her husband were accused of calling 911 because an armed stalker was allegedly on their property.
Authorities responded to the area, including seven Ventura County Sheriff's Office vehicles, a K-9 unit and a police helicopter.
It then emerged that the shooter was actually a “neighborhood teenager who was shooting squirrels with a pellet gun,” according to a neighbor who spoke to .
Milano strongly denied making the first 911 call and insisted that one of her neighbors was actually the first to call authorities.
Her denial was backed up by a spokesperson for the sheriff's office, who confirmed that the original caller was “not related to Alyssa Milano.”
However, Milano admitted in a statement to Fox News that after the neighbor made the initial call, her husband contacted first responders by phone to “clarify when the police would arrive.”
That same year, she was mocked online for posting a video in which she used a detangling brush to untangle her wet hair and caused some of it to fall out – a development she attributed to contracting COVID-19.
