It's hard for celebrities and their kids to deal with the invasion of omnipresent paparazzi, as was the case for Suri Cruise as she was subjected to a confrontation with one, while accompanying her mum Katie Holmes in New York. A new photo showing Suri giving the middle finger is creating uproar on the heels of her so-called "bratty" behaviour recently.

The seven-year-old was seen looking happy enough as she was joined by a pal and Katie in Manhattan. Like many other celebrities, it seems Suri Cruise gets annoyed at the paparazzi.

The adorable kid, who looked too cute in a polka-dot pink dress and matching Crocs sandals, was twirling her hair between her two fingers while media people snapped pics of the mother-daughter duo.

But while Suri was playing with her hair, an untimely snap occurred, making it appear as if she was giving the paparazzi the middle finger.

Holmes, who looked perfectly coordinated with her mini-me in a polka dot tank, was seemingly unaware of the unfortunate snap, simply holding her daughter's hand while the twosome strolled the streets.

One paparazzo even pleaded with the heckler to stop calling Suri names, telling the man, "When you're a father bro, it's a whole different thing."

To which the signature-seeker responds, "She's a bitch...a little brat kid...A little brat."

Yeah, that actually happened.

Regardless of the ill-timed incident (luckily, Katie and Suri were seemingly out of earshot), the little one flashed a big smile for the cameras just a few days later after giving paps a piece of her mind.

But the mini-fashionista is hardly the first celeb kid to feel annoyed by the all-pervading paparazzi.
