Actress and activist Alyssa Milano faced backlash Saturday when she tweeted a picture of herself with her family, wearing a mask, and asking her fans to “show me yours!”.
Many users on Twitter mocked Milano as she donned a cream-colored crochet mask for the camera.
“Show me your masks! Masks keep people safe and healthy,” Milano tweeted. Show me yours! Ready? Go! #WearAMask”.

Twitterverse immediately responded, wasting no time in mocking Milano’s choice of mask. We leave you with a few highly engaged responses.

A crocheted mask……..everytime I think you could not be any dumber, you prove me wrong.

1. That mask has holes in it. 2. Your right eyelash isn’t on properly.

At least the holes in her mask are much smaller than the holes in her “believe all women” theory. https://t.co/co3RQK1oGI

That looks like a stunningly ineffective crocheted mask.

**UPDATE** Milano responded on Twitter Saturday to claim that her mask contains a carbon filter. She did not, however, post a picture of the inside of her mask.
Enjoy. pic.twitter.com/YP3WXGe4Pq

Assholes, mask has a carbon filter in it. So, yes, it might be crochet but totally safe. #WearAMask
