Initially, the park said the incident was a misunderstanding — that the performer’s “no” gesture was in response to requests to hold a child for photos, which is against park rules, and that the performer did not intentionally ignore the girls.“As you can see, now that I spoke up and released my video, now there's multiple parents who have similar videos with that character doing the same thing to the same race of children," Brown said.
