In a video shared on social media, a man has been called out for taking pictures of two young women in an airport without their knowledge, reportedly in the United States.
The women had been walking through an airport terminal when they were informed that the man had been secretly taking photos of them. They decided to confront him, filming the interaction, and subsequently posting it on TikTok.
In the video, one of the women can be heard saying to the man: “Were you taking photos of us? We were just told you were taking photos of us.”
“Is there any way we could see your camera roll?” the other woman asked the man.
The man said: “No, that’s ok, I wasn’t” and backed away from the women.
“Sir, it’s really weird to take pictures of females in public without their permission. You should never do that again. Imagine if we were your daughter or someone related to you. It’s not okay, so just delete them,” one of the women said.
@bailzherb I know some people won’t understand why we are so upset/mad but this happens WAY too often and it’s violating and creepy.

The man got defensive, saying he would delete the images, but he continued to walk away from the women. In the video, they followed him, insisting that he take his phone out and show them as he deleted the images.
“I see the photos right there, delete them,” one of the women said.
“Delete them in front of me right now … you think I’m joking? Delete them in front of me right now,” she said. “I see you shaking. I see the photos. I see the photos right there, delete them.”
“I’ll call you out any day because that’s fucking weird and don’t ever do that again.”

“I know some people won’t understand why we are so upset/mad but this happens WAY too often and it’s violating and creepy,” she captioned the post.
The video has been positively received on TikTok, with many users showing their support for the women for their bravery in standing up to the man in a public setting.
“AS YOU SHOULD!!!!! I’m glad you embarrassed him, you handled this perfectly,” said one comment.
