The incident unfolded while the couple were filming in Paris and were approached by a woman who appeared excited to recognise them. The woman began by saying, "I was like, why do I know her and then I was like, oh my God, this is really embarrassing. I actually don't. But I have to say, I just love all your content. I got my daughter to start following you guys."
To this, Bronfman warmly responded, "So sweet." The woman added, "Yeah, anyway. Love you," to which Bronfman replied, "Love it. Well, have fun in Paris." The woman then left with a cheerful remark: “Tiktokers in the wild.”
Post-interaction remarks stir online backlash
However, moments after the interaction, Bronfman turned to the camera and said, "Tiktokers in the wild by the loudest American I've ever met," followed by laughter from both her and Fallis. This portion of the video was clipped and later circulated on Reddit, where users criticised the couple for being dismissive and mocking a seemingly kind admirer.
Check out the clip here:
One Reddit user commented, “Hannah Bronfman being two-faced and rude to a fan who spotted her in Paris.” Another wrote, “The audacity of posting the video of yourself badmouthing a person who was sweet to you literally 3 seconds ago…” A third user added, “This is so sad and made me angry.”
Some were upset about the ethical implications of leaving the woman’s face unblurred in the video. One commenter noted, “Not only did he keep that clip in, he showed the woman’s face. Not ok.” Another remarked, “It was so rude and not required.”
