And while both were smiling, Faye questioned, “couldn’t she stand up and hug her or something um?”, referring to the way Millie didn’t move her seat.

“did someone superglue her to the stool or what?” one fan asked. “She could’ve easily stood up and gone closer to her fan for a photo.”

“People pay good money for these meet & greets and get this… tragic,” someone dismissed — with India Times reporting that the fan paid $200.

A third added, “Even if she couldn’t hug her, she could have at least stood up and moved closer.”

“fear i cant defend her on this one,” a netizen wrote.

“She wanted no part in that picture,” someone theorized.

Another commented, “knowing all the accommodations someone in awheelchairhas to make in order to go through public spaces, travel,… the bare minimum was to get her –ss up and stand closer to her fan (who also paid a fcking lot to meet her).”

“The way this could’ve been a wholesome moment but instead it’s just awkward,” read a reply.

“Not trying to hate, but imagine paying €200, probably traveling far, and being in a wheelchair, only for her to not even stand up, lean in, or do something to make the pic special,” one user observed. “That’s just disrespectful. If you’re at a con, engage with the fans PAYING to see you or don’t go.”

People weren’t a fan of the way Millie had positioned herself

But others were quick to defend thenewly married actress, reminding people that they couldn’t possibly know the full story based on a singular photo.

“Maybe both of them were comfortable with this, and that’s what really matters,” another echoed in support.

One fan slammed, “Why don’t you worry about your physical boundaries and let her perry about her physical boundaries.”

“y’all have a problem with everything 🙃🙃🙃,” a netizen complained.

“If you were so worried about the girl, here’s the end of the story,” an account shared. “She loved meeting her and never complained about anything, now you don’t need to take on other people’s pain!”

But others came to her defense, saying the fan may have a sensory issue others aren’t aware of

Below, a screenshot of aFacebookpost could be seen where the alleged fan in the wheelchair shared the meet-and-greet photo, as well as a picture of Millie’s signature.
