On a recent flight, a man says that the woman sitting next to him appeared to be texting YouTuber Trisha Paytas—while tilting her phone toward him in order to draw his attention to it.

Featured Video

In a TikTok posted on July 9, Brandon Robert (@thebrandonrobert) shows a woman holding her phone open to a text message conversation with “Trisha Paytas.” The only messages on the screen are outbound.

The video then shows the woman holding her phone and showing a photo of her and Paytas as her phone background, texting “Trisha Paytas,” and scrolling through photos of Paytas in her photo gallery.

“This girl is trying so hard to make it seem like she knows Trisha Paytas,” Robert wrote in his video’s overlay text.

“Trisha is going to get so freaked out over this,” @_lala_333 commented.

“@trishapaytas get a restraining order,” @galeotejack wrote.

And one commenter joked that the woman Robert saw on the plane was Colleen Ballinger, who Paytas recently cut professional and personal ties with after Ballinger was accused of grooming underage fans and sending them nude photos of Paytas.
