Being a celebrity is not a breeze. And it is not because of their demanding profession or the constant pressure to stay on top of their game. It is the relentless public scrutiny that hovers over them wherever they go. A small slip-up, and suddenly the world feels entitled to pass judgment on who they are. And sometimes, even when there is no ground for criticism, people find creative ways to invent narratives. Something, very similar has happened with Sadie Sink, whose slight finger gesture has caused a divide on the internet.

The Stranger Things sensation was recently spotted by the media as she made her way to her car with her entourage. Upon spotting her, paps started hollering for her pictures and asked her to stop and pose for them. However, since she seemed to be in a hurry, she just flashed a quick smile and waved without pausing. Upon entering the parking lot, she lifted her hands to make a gesture with her fingers. 

Now, it was pretty clear that she pointing at her car with the gesture. However, a few onlookers speculated that the gesture might have been a flip-off to the paparazzi. They even let out some boos when she kept on moving without stopping for a shot. The whole thing was captured in a TikTok video which sparked some chatter on the web about Sadie Sink’s gesture. 

Fans turned X, formerly Twitter, into a battleground where they squared off to decide the true side of the debate.

Fans’ thoughts on the gesture by Sadie Sink to the Paps

This minor uproar kicked off post-Sadie Sink’s recent photoshoot for Armani Beauty. As part of the SI campaign, she posed for some vintage monochrome aesthetics that melted the hearts of her fans. Shortly after the shoot, her recent sighting in the navy blue leather suit had fans showering her with praise. Some even took to X to crown her as a “queen”. 

Many inclined towards the truth that she was indeed pointing at the car, and not throwing shade at the paps. However, some despite knowing the truth, said they wanted to believe the other side. 

Meanwhile, a fan claimed that Sadie Sink was flipping the paps off with an index finger. 

There was also a section of fans who wished Sink had flipped them off, calling it “Queen Sh*t”,  but even they agreed that Sink’s gesture meant no such thing. Apart from this debate, fans praised Sink’s look and marveled at her breathtaking beauty.
