'' featured character Taylor Otto dressed up as a `` pregnant Norwalk prom girl '', poking fun at the city of Norwalk, Connecticut, which borders the show 's location of Westport. Before this incident, there were various other episodes in which Norwalk was mocked : The characters refused to swim in a Norwalk swimming pool, acting like the pool water was diseased because of Norwalk people ; one of the children took bets on how many of the girlfriends of Norwalk 's basketball team would be pregnant post season ; and the family used a Hispanic housekeeper to sell fake Polo shirts to Norwalk students, since they believed that no Westport resident would buy them ( the family ended up earning a lot of money ). This brought condemnation from residents, school officials, and politicians of Norwalk. After a petition calling for the producers to stop `` bullying '' Norwalk got over 500 signatures and media coverage, a Disney spokesperson released a statement saying `` As a comedy, ' American Housewife ' is n't intended to offend anyone. We 've heard the concerns of the people of Norwalk and have made the decision to omit any mentions of the city from future episodes ''.
