The clip has gone viral on both TikTok and on X, formally known as Twitter.
It has divided followers, with some saying she had every right to leave, but others hitting back at the actress.
In Millie’s defence, one penned on X, “Celebrities are not legally obliged to smile when photographers request it.”
A second said, “Millie Bobby Brown serving major clapback energy.”
While a third responded, “Not exactly promoting them acting like d***s, but they seriously have the right to call out paparazzi Since Chappell Roan.
“We need these celebrities to show those unhuman paparazzi their place.”
Another added, “I feel for Millie Bobby Brown in this case.
“People used to say that I didn’t smile enough… My high school track coach used to say, ‘smile’, I even got disciplined at a JOB for NOT SMILING ENOUGH.”
A fifth said, “I feel bad for her. Probably the last kind of person that should be famous. I hope she get peace in her life.”
Others weren’t so sure, with another user writing on X, “Okay so I’m confused by this.
“How is a professional photographer asking you to smile offensive?”
A second said, “You’re on the Red Carpet to provide pictures for media outlets.
“Don’t be surprised when one of the photographers asks you to smile.”
While a third wrote, “Gurlll you’re on a red carpet.. posing for pictures… in front of a photographer. There is zero sexism involved here.”
Another called her a “stroppy diva”.
They added, “She has a talent, that Holmes piece she did was very well done, but her attitude I think will not enable her to continue towards further success.”
