Outrage is erupting at Walt Disney World as female guests call for a ban on transgender TikToker Lilly Contino, who has been recording videos inside the women’s restrooms and posting them publicly. The videos show other female guests—without their faces blurred—sparking serious privacy concerns and potential legal action.
Contino, who has a history of provocative behavior at Disney parks, has been posting restroom “ratings” on social media. In one of the most controversial posts, he took a selfie with other women visible in the mirror. Reports say some of these women are considering civil lawsuits for invasion of privacy and emotional distress.
Florida law is clear: Statute 810.145 makes it a felony to record or broadcast video from restrooms without consent. Violators could face up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. Another state law, the Facility Requirements Based on Sex Act, requires that individuals use bathrooms aligned with their biological sex in specified public and licensed venues, making it a misdemeanor to do otherwise. Whether this law applies to Disney World remains under review, but the legal framework is in place.
Disney has not commented on the growing controversy. The company’s silence has frustrated many conservative families who expect safe, private facilities—especially for women and children—at what is marketed as the “Most Magical Place on Earth.”
Contino has not backed down. In a series of videos, he mocked those offended by his actions, dismissed Florida’s conservative culture, and even joked about potentially getting stopped by park authorities. In another instance, he walked out of a Disney restaurant after claiming a server misgendered him—without paying for his drink.
J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, sharply criticized Contino’s actions, describing them as a violation of women’s boundaries. Rowling accused the TikToker of using photos with unsuspecting women as “trophies” to flaunt his disregard for female privacy.
Contino has previously drawn criticism for other inappropriate content filmed at Disney parks, including sexually suggestive videos involving food items. Critics argue that such behavior is incompatible with the family-oriented atmosphere Disney claims to uphold.
The situation places Disney at a crossroads. With female guests demanding action and possible lawsuits looming, the company faces increasing pressure to respond and enforce policies that protect all guests, especially women and children, from what many see as aggressive and inappropriate behavior in sensitive spaces.
