Sarah Michelle Gellar faced online backlash for her daughter’s 16th birthday gift, with fans criticizing her for being out of touch. The 48-year-old actress, known for her role as Daphne in the live-action Scooby-Doo films, received negative feedback after posting a picture of the present on Instagram.
In celebration of her daughter’s milestone birthday, Sarah shared a heartfelt Instagram post featuring childhood photos of her daughter. She expressed her love, admiration, and pride for her daughter, describing her as strong, inspiring, kind, and funny, emphasizing their close bond.
The controversial aspect arose when Sarah revealed the birthday gift – a brand-new black Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with a large red bow on the front, reportedly valued at over £63,000. This extravagant gift sparked criticism from followers who believed that 16-year-olds should earn their own possessions through hard work, rather than receiving expensive gifts.
While some followers defended Sarah, stating that the public does not know the circumstances surrounding the gift, others argued that such lavish presents could hinder a child’s work ethic and independence. Sarah, who gained fame for her role in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, has been married to actor Freddie Prinze Jr. since 2002 and shares a daughter named Charlotte with him.
