In August 2017, Morić voiced her anger because of a picture showing Samuel L. Jackson and Magic Johnson. She mistook them for migrants on extravagant shopping spree with money from the Italian citizens. The picture showed the actor and the retired basketball player on a bench surrounded by luxury shopping bags in Forte dei Marmi in Italy. Later the former Croatian model (now Italian citizen) realized her mistake and insisted that the post was also an experiment as the picture was originally shared by Luca Bottura as part of a social experiment regarding the perception of migrants in Italy.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/samuel-l-jackson-magic-johnson-lazy-migrants-italy-tuscany-forte-dei-marmi-louis-vuitton-a7905026.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220621/https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/samuel-l-jackson-magic-johnson-lazy-migrants-italy-tuscany-forte-dei-marmi-louis-vuitton-a7905026.html |archive-date=21 June 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|title=Samuel L Jackson and Magic Johnson mistaken for 'lazy migrants' by Italians after shopping in Tuscany|last=Oppenheim|first=Maya|date=22 August 2017|work=Independent|access-date=22 August 2017}}</ref>
