‘Man in smart glasses filmed me in London then told me to pay’

The BBC contacted the man that filmed Alice. He refused to give an interview or reveal his identity.

Via email, he said that his “intention has always been to create light-hearted, respectful interactions”.

“I do not engage in harassment or deliberately seek to make anyone uncomfortable,” he added.

Asked why he did not remove the video of Alice after she contacted him, he said: “Where individuals have expressed genuine discomfort, I have reviewed content on a case-by-case basis and made adjustments where appropriate.”

He also re-posted the video of Alice on to a different social media site, after TikTok removed it.

TikTok has since banned his account for breaching its rules on bullying and harassment.
