A viral video circulating across social media has put internet personality India Love and YouTuber Brooklyn Frost at the center of a growing backlash after they blocked a public street to film a TikTok. What began as a random content shoot during one of India Love’s Twitch livestreams quickly turned into something bigger, with backed-up traffic and eventually a heated exchange with a frustrated driver who wanted to get through.
The clip, shared by X user @Fearedbuck, shows the personalities with their luxury SUVs – a light-blue Lamborghini Urus and a Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 4MATIC – parked across what appears to be a residential street in Los Angeles lined with upscale homes. The women dance and pose in front of and between the SUVs while members of their group film the TikTok as the livestream continues. As filming goes on, other cars begin arriving from both directions, only to find they can’t get through.
Some drivers decide to turn around and find another route. Others wait patiently, while a few begin aggressively honking while inching forward as traffic continues to build. One BMW driver’s honking leads to an exchange where India Love walks towards his car to tell him, “You have to wait,” multiple times before adding, “We are not doing anything wrong. We’re not bothering anybody.” She later adds, “You can go around.”
The footage has since spread across X and Instagram, with many viewers criticizing what they saw as influencers and streamers treating a public street like a film set, inconveniencing other drivers.
Drivers Tried To Get Through; India Love Wasn’t Having It
India Love was live on Twitch on June 8th when the incident unfolded. As the livestream continued, the road started to become busier. Still, the impromptu middle-of-the-road TikTok shoot had to get done, despite blocking cars.
The first vehicle to arrive from the left direction, a silver Lucid Air, found the two SUVs and the group blocking the street completely. Rather than wait, the driver turned around and left.
On the opposite side, a dark crossover and a red pickup truck carrying construction materials were also forced to stop. It didn’t take long for the truck driver to turn around and drive away with no clear way through.
Despite the inconvenience, there are cars on each side. Filming continued uninterrupted.

The women continued posing and dancing between and in front of the expensive cars to flex and show off on TikTok. India Love spent much of the shoot posing between the SUVs, while Brooklyn Frost danced in front of the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 4MATIC, which remained with its Bounce Mode activated for much of the filming. Another lady even jumped and sat on the hood of the Lamborghini Urus during the action, as drivers watched while being denied way.
More Drivers Kept Showing Up
The situation became more tense when a BMW 7 Series arrived, and its driver began honking loudly with urgency. India Love walked toward the luxury sedan and repeatedly told the driver, “You have to wait, you have to.” As the conversation continued, she insisted, “We are not doing anything wrong… We’re not bothering anybody,” before finally telling him, “You can go around, you can go around” when he kept being persistent.
Rather than continuing the argument, the BMW driver eventually reversed, turned the car around, and went to find another route.
Shortly after, a Mercedes-AMG G 63 and another BMW sedan joined as the new cars waiting, making sure there was repeated honking echoing around the shoot. Rather than remain, this other BMW driver also turned around and used another road, leaving the G-wagon there alone.
Only after the filming appeared to be wrapping up did the road begin to reopen. The Lamborghini Urus pulled away first after some people got in, clearing enough space for the waiting Mercedes G-Class to continue through. The Mercedes-Maybach departed moments later.
The Backlash Was About More Than a TikTok
When India Love posted the final TikTok, it was overshadowed by the video of the filming incident, which had spread quickly online. Many questioned why India Love and her team used a public street as a TikTok filming location, inconveniencing drivers for content.
Some even argued that blocking traffic in such a way, to make social media content, should carry consequences. Legal ones, for that matter.
Also, many of the comments point out the irony of the “not bothering anybody” statement from India Love, arguing that the growing line of waiting cars and frustrated drivers honking showed the opposite. One person wrote, “‘We are not bothering anybody’ while people are clearly being bothered.” At the same time, another described the situation as “peak main character syndrome.”
Is This the New Normal?
Creating content has become a full-time career for many people, but moments like this show why there’s growing public frustration with creators who treat shared spaces as their own personal studios. Whether it’s blocking traffic, disrupting businesses, or pushing legal and social boundaries, many viewers believe the chase for clicks has started to come at everyone else’s expense.
Judging by the reaction online, this incident resonated because it felt like another example of a trend people are seeing far too often. As social media continues to reward attention-grabbing moments, incidents like this raise questions about where creators should draw the line when the public becomes part of the production.
