TikTok chalk artist threatened with eviction over \u201cdisrespectful\u201d sidewalk drawings Instagram, TikTok: varakaughnTikTok chalk artist Kara Vaughn was threatened with eviction over her sidewalk drawings after her landlady called the artwork \u201cdisrespectful.\u201d In response, Vaughn organized a \u2018Chalk the Town\u2019 event that\u2019s going viral. \u2018Karens\u2019 always know how to ruin someone\u2019s day\u2026 but in this case, one Karen seemed to threaten her tenant with eviction over adorable chalk art. Kara Vaughn is an artist and sidewalk chalk enthusiast who lives in Hutchinson, Kansas. She loves to express her artistic flair on the driveway and sidewalk of her home, which she rents. Unfortunately, her landlady wasn\u2019t very happy about her artwork. In a viral video posted on May 28, Vaughn claimed that her landlord actually loved her chalk drawings\u2026 but when he came to visit the property with his wife, she went off on Kara over the pictures, calling them \u201cdisrespectful.\u201d TikTok chalk artist threatened with eviction over sidewalk drawings It\u2019s hard to imagine what was so distasteful about Vaughn\u2019s artwork, given that she\u2019s prone to drawing adorable images of Pok\u00e9mon and bumblebees \u2014 but even after assuring the landlady that she could just wash it all away, she was told she could \u201cjust leave\u201d if she didn\u2019t like the \u2018rules.\u2019 A short while later, Vaughn uploaded a video of herself on a phone call with her landlady, who still appeared to have an issue with her tenant\u2019s sidewalk artwork (even after Vaughn assured her that she\u2019d contacted the city, who claimed sidewalk chalk was a perfectly legal means of self-expression). \u201cI just don\u2019t get this,\u201d the landlady can be heard saying over the phone. \u201cI\u2019m sorry, I just don\u2019t understand you anymore.\u201d Thus far, Vaughn\u2019s videos chronicling her issues have gone viral, amassing millions of views in just two weeks since being posted. That\u2019s not all; she even organized a \u2018Chalk the Town\u2019 event in retaliation, complete with food trucks, music, a scavenger hunt, and other activities. The event is scheduled for July 1-2, 2023 \u2014 and Kara is encouraging her many fans on TikTok to make a road trip out of the event, should they choose to attend. For now, there haven\u2019t been any other updates on her landlady saga\u2026 but rest assured, we\u2019ll keep you updated about the ongoing situation right here at Dexerto.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
