Sesame Place have cancelled character Rosita by banning her from meet and greets and the daily parade after a family launched a $25million lawsuit against the park. The two little girls eagerly reached out to the blue character, who was introduced to expand the diversity of Sesame Street, who was seen shaking their finger at them, before allegedly ‘hugging the little white girl’ next to them.

Multiple buildings with the costume character’s face on them have reportedly remained closed since the incident in July, with staff claiming she has been ‘cancelled’.

Rosita’s Cocina restaurant has reportedly been closed ‘for weeks’ despite the busy summer period. ‘She’s been taken off the parade entirely since the racism allegations. One staff member told DailyMail.com.
