Do you remember a scene in Pretty Woman where Julia Roberts, before her upscale makeover, tries to shop at a chic boutique on Beverly Hills' Rodeo Drive, only to be treated condescendingly by a haughty employee? Something reminiscent of that is circulating online about Adam Sandler's teenage daughter, Sadie. The comedian has vehemently and thoroughly discredited the tale, saying, per People, "[I]t's just insane."

It Started With a TikTok Video
The TikTok video alleged that Sadie was reportedly wearing "plain casual clothes" when she visited a Chanel store in Beverly Hills, according to a voiceover that purported to be from Adam Sandler himself. She was supposedly told by a salesperson that she was not allowed to touch a handbag that cost a whopping $28,600. This presumably because Sadie did not appear affluent enough to buy it or even to be in that luxury, high-fashion establishment.
Sadie let Dad know about the incident. He allegedly raced over to the store, outraged by what happened to his daughter. Sandler asked the employee "if she was judging people by how they looked." The video claims that he then bought 12 of those handbags for a total of $312,000.
Sandler left with a final flourish. He allegedly admonished the errant employee again, saying, "Real class isn't on a price tag. It's in how you treat people." The video states that the actor later distributed the haul of staggeringly expensive bags to family and staff.
According to Adam Sandler, none of this ever actually took place.
Sandler Completely Disavowed the Whole Story
He reportedly told the outlet, "By the way, there's something on the internet talking about that dumb thing. I've been hearing about this thing and I saw it, and it's just insane. It's just this made-up, weird thing that people ask me about. And I'm just like, 'I've never heard of this in my life.' That story was 100 percent insane and made-up, and not a word of it is true."
To drive the point home even more adamantly, Sandler supposedly informed "multiple news outlets" that the incident was "one of the weirdest, dumbest, 100-percent made-up things."
