Texan model Ali Michael sparked a controversy after posting a picture of Finn Wolfhard in her Instagram Story where she wrote, "Not to be weird but hit me up in 4 years @finnwolfhardofficial."
The 27-year-old model was backlashed by fans all over the social media alleging her of sexualizing young actor, as she was asking him to date after he reaches 18.
Her post was panned as 'disgusting', immoral and offensive as she was joking about children hitting puberty and dating her. Following this controversy, Finn spoke out stating,
"Oh, that was nuts. That was gross. That's good that she apologized, it's weird but..it's fine."
Ali too apologized confessing that it was never her intention to sexualize a minor in any shape or form. She further added,
"To those I offended or misled, I apologize for a post made in haste and lacking in sensitivity, particularly considering the landscape of the present culture."
Before this controversy, Finn also fired his agent Tyler Grasham as he was accused of sexual assault with young male actors.
