Three influencers found themselves on the wrong end of an angry woman who demanded they "get a real job" after taking photos outside of a property. Love Island Australia star Tayla Mellington, accompanied by her friend and fellow reality TV star Ruby Ennor, found themselves in a heated exchange while capturing content for their social media accounts. The incident occurred outside a residence on the picturesque Gold Coast, where Mellington and her group had gathered to snap some candid shots. The encounter escalated quickly as a woman, who was pushing a pram, approached them and aired her disapproval that they were taking photos. [[tiktokwidget||https://www.tiktok.com/@taylamell/video/7268831271323847954]] Mellington recounted the incident: "We were minding our own business, taking photos, and this chick comes up and starts abusing us. She's like, 'you're devaluing the property, we're going to call the police,' and we just didn't say anything. And she said, 'you really don't care, do you?' and I replied, 'no, not really.'" Despite attempting to continue their photoshoot, Mellington and Ennor found themselves engaged in an impromptu debate with the woman. According to the influencer, the woman questioned their choice of location for the shoot, implying that they were intruding on others' privacy. Mellington was quick to defend their actions, stating, "We'd never go into someone's property. It's out the front part where we take photos." The situation took a turn when the woman decided to pass judgment on the influencers' career choices, stating "why don't you go and get a real job". "Then she goes, 'you're not that attractive, if you were you'd get paid to do modeling.' And I was like, excuse me?" Mellington recounted, clearly shocked by the comment. Despite the presence of her baby, the woman continued to express her disapproval, even resorting to offensive gestures before walking away. People in the comments wanted to see footage of the woman launching her tirade, and Mellington was only happy to oblige, and it turns out that her original claims were correct. The footage showed the woman addressing the influencers with pointed remarks before defiantly raising her middle finger and walking away.

"Omg everyone on the Gold Coast goes and takes pictures out the front of other people’s houses around that area. I see it all the time. It’s fine," one person wrote. A second added: "Saying it’s devaluing the property is wild. We live there and it happens all the time and it’s literally fine." Mellington stated that the images had been taken outside of an apartment complex, and this raised eyebrows for a few people who appeared to side with the angry woman. A comment read: "Ask for permission from residents is called common courtesy. After all it is their property. She has a baby, getting no sleep/time for herself." <img class="size-full wp-image-1263225386" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/08/Screenshot-2023-08-22-at-09.49.27.jpg" alt="" width="2374" height="320" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] <img class="size-full wp-image-1263225387" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/08/Screenshot-2023-08-22-at-09.49.47.jpg" alt="" width="2408" height="340" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] <img class="size-full wp-image-1263225388" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/08/Screenshot-2023-08-22-at-09.50.50.jpg" alt="" width="2388" height="324" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] Some others also agreed that the trio should "get a real job" - but that begs the question, what even is a real job? If they're making money and people consume their content, surely that suffices? Who would have thought a few images and videos would cause such a debate? <h6>Featured image credit: Westend61/Getty</h6>
