A TikToker who set out on a self-love journey accidentally captured a prolific stalker in the Burbank area — and as the footage continues to go viral, more unsettling details are rising to the surface.
For the past 20 days, Michaela Witter (@michaela.witter) has been filming herself embarking on “100 solo dates” for TikTok — dates like reading in the park, making homeless care kits or buying herself flowers.
“As someone who was always scared of eating by myself, some of these are going to be a challenge … but going on these dates has really been helping my confidence and love for myself,” Witter wrote in the caption of her first solo date video.
However, on day 20 of her solo date experiment, Witter encountered the reason why many women find it challenging to go solo in public.
While filming herself enjoying a day at Barnes & Noble and Starbucks (the randomly picked date for the day), Witter also captured a stranger following her throughout the store, kneeling under her legs, and sniffing her (and another nearby woman) repeatedly.

The ugly side of doing things solo as a woman even in an open public space,” Witter’s video caption reads. “Stalking, harrassment, etc. has happened to me way too many times but this definitely ranks top 3 creepiest moments.”
While Witter received thousands of comments supporting her, she was also subjected to accusations of having faked the encounter. Not a single person is pointing out how staged this looks? The camera is literally right in front of him yet he did it anyway,”
