Behold the lawsuit-inducing 'Tiger Mom' stare, the human embodiment of the side eye emoji

Meet Zhao Wei, one of China’s most famous actresses. She’s the star of a new Chinese TV drama, Tiger Mom, in which, apparently, she glares. A lot. Intensely. Perhaps too intensely. As the Washington Post reports, a man in Shanghai is suing Zhao over that searing glower, claiming her piercing eyes caused “spiritual damage.”

According to The Guardian:

The Shanghai Pudong new district court refused to state whether it had accepted the case, but an official criticised the lawsuit, saying: “It’s not necessary to waste our judicial resources on cases like these.”

Gaze into her terrifying eyes and decide for yourself whether or not she deserves to be sued. Better yet: Tiger Mom premieres (with English subtitles) on DramaFever, the international television streaming site, on July 7, and then you can watch her in all of her glory. Cruel summer?
