Though the two had never met, the timing of one influencer and shoplifter couldn\u2019t have been more divine. As she was taking photos in Forever 21, influencer Remi Bader was pushed through revolving doors by a shoplifter who used her body as a shield. Though she was \u201cshook\u201d by the intimate nature of the robbery, Bader also laughed at the situation. TikTok has also found the random moment funny. Shoplifter gets away after using influencer\u2019s body to push through the doors Bader is both a model and influencer for many brands, including Forever 21. So when she went to the store\u2019s location in NYC\u2019s Times Square to advertise her photos in Forever 21\u2019s holiday campaign ad, she could never have expected what was to happen next. As her friend recorded her with bags in her hands walking through the revolving doors towards the sidewalk, a shoplifter pushed his way into Bader\u2019s body, using it to shield himself from harm. The alarm system even went off while he was making his getaway. However, there was no security heading his way in the short time it took to get through the doors. The shoplifter actually got so close to Bader in the revolving doors, that had he not scurried away quickly, both of them would have been likely questioned for stealing. And though the timing couldn\u2019t have been more perfect with the shoplifter robbing the store while Bader\u2019s friend recorded the whole scene, Bader took it personally, saying she was \u201cshook\u201d by the incident. After Bader uploaded the video to TikTok, it went viral and brought in many comments about the hilarity of the encounter. One person commented, \u201cLmao, what on earth?!\u201d Another wrote, \u201cHahahaha, there is no way, but glad you\u2019re ok.\u201d Many others commented on how they weren\u2019t surprised that this happened while in Times Square, as one viewer even said the same thing happened to her at that exact location. And though the alarms did go off while the shoplifter escaped, Bader has not disclosed if she was approached by Forever 21 management about the thievery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shoplifter uses influencer as human shield while robbing Forever 21 TikTok: remibaderAn influencer for Forever 21 was taking photos in the store when a shoplifter used her body as a shield to escape before he could get caught.
