Influencer asks family to leave park so she can film, tells kids they're 'ruining her shot'

During a family outing to a local playground, a woman noticed someone recording videos nearby. Even after advising the children to avoid the person filming, the content creator became irritated by their presence. Despite this, the woman remained in the park, refusing to leave.

In a recent post on Reddit, an anonymous user shared the unsettling encounter, which has drawn significant attention online. She described a typical Sunday outing with her "great-grandchildren and cousins," aged between 4 and 8, which quickly escalated into a confrontation.

The Reddit user explained that she spotted a woman setting up a phone and tripod to film, so she instructed the children to move around her. However, before the children could pass, the woman reportedly began shouting at them, claiming they were "ruining things."

Feeling shocked, the woman confronted the content creator and asked her not to yell at the children. The influencer responded that she was "creating" and insisted that the children needed to leave to avoid disturbing her recording. When asked again to stop shouting, the discussion became personal, with the content creator questioning the relationship between the Reddit user and the children, saying, There is no way they are your kids. One child being biracial added an additional layer of concern over the comment.

The Reddit user calmly responded, emphasizing, They are with me, they are my kids and don't yell at my kids. Following this, the influencer eventually packed up her equipment and left, muttering dismissively, Ok boomer. The post concluded with the woman noting the irony of a peaceful playground outing turning tense and wishing the influencer a better week ahead.

The incident has sparked widespread discussion about proper behavior in public spaces. Many users stressed that playgrounds are meant for children to play freely, not for professional content shoots. Comments highlighted that the park is a shared environment and that any interference with personal recordings is the responsibility of the creator, not the public.

One Reddit user remarked, Nothing ruins a park day faster than treating a playground like a photo studio instead of a place for kids. Another added, You dont own the park; people are allowed to use it. If your shot gets disrupted, thats on you, not the visitors.
