Tayla Mellington told to \u201cget a real job\u201d after taking photos in front of apartment complex Instagram: tayymell \/ TikTok: rubyennorLove Island Australia\u2019s Tayla Mellington was told to \u201cget a real job\u201d by a woman for taking photos in front of an apartment complex in a video that took TikTok by storm. It\u2019s not unusual to see influencers posing for photos in front of picturesque locations\u2026 but reality TV star Tayla Mellington got major flak after taking pics in front of an apartment complex in Gold Coast, Australia. The celeb was posing with her girlfriends in front of the complex when the group was approached by a woman who was not happy with their choice of background. In a now-deleted video, Mellington said a woman with a baby stroller lashed out at the girls for using the property for their photos and claimed she would \u201ccall the police\u201d on them. Tayla Mellington & friends yelled at by woman for taking pics in front of apartment complex The woman also allegedly argued that the influencers were \u201cinvading the privacy\u201d of people living in the complex, but the gals countered by saying they were just taking photos outside the apartments. The woman then hit them with a zinger, supposedly saying: \u201cWhy don\u2019t you go get a real job? You don\u2019t make money this way. You\u2019re not that attractive. If you were, you\u2019d get paid to do modeling.\u201d She also flipped them the bird before finally going on her way. This statement left Mellington and her friends completely shocked. Unfortunately for curious viewers, the initial TikTok has been deleted \u2014 but according to other reports, it had racked up over 70k views before Tayla took it down. Luckily, friend and fellow influencer Ruby Ennor uploaded her own version of events to the platform shortly thereafter, asking viewers if they were in the wrong or if the \u2018Karen\u2019 had a right to be upset. Thus far, it seems like comments on Ennor\u2019s video are decidedly mixed, with some sympathizing with the girls while others see a point in the woman\u2019s argument. \u201cNot okay for the mum to flip the bird at you,\u201d one user wrote. \u201cBut if you were taking pics with someone\u2019s home in the background, they have the right to protect their privacy.\u201d \u201cBut were you taking photos of yourself (for a brand deal) standing outside of someone\u2019s private residence\/home?\u201d another said. The girls didn\u2019t get the police called on them despite the woman\u2019s threats\u2026 but one TikToker did get approached by law enforcement after taking part in TikTok\u2019s \u2018make anything a bag\u2019 trend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
