2025, TikTok that has now reached over 5 million viewers, KG (@kayla.g21), who performed at Disney for eight years, called the behavior \u201cdespicable\u201d and warned that antagonizing cast members

class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cMy video aims to spread awareness in case someone else sees that video and tries to do the same thing, thinking it&#8217;s funny,\u201d she said. \u201cIt&#8217;s disrespectful to the professionals you paid to see, so do better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Commenters overwhelmingly agreed that heckling
