Disney World prides itself on being the most magical place on earth.
But one visitor turned that magic into a nightmare for other guests.
And a transgender influencer was caught on camera doing one thing that has Disney World scrambling.
Lilly Tino sparks outrage with women’s bathroom photos at Disney World
Transgender TikTok influencer Lilly Tino caused a massive uproar after posting a viral video ranking women’s bathrooms at Disney World.
The video, titled Bathroom tea, showed Tino taking selfies and photos inside multiple women’s restrooms throughout the Florida theme park.
But what sent shockwaves through social media wasn’t just the bathroom photos themselves.
Multiple images in Tino’s video captured the faces of other women and children in the background without their consent.
“Ranking Every Women’s Bathroom at Disney World,” read the first slide of the controversial TikTok post.
Tino captioned the controversial video with a comment about initially worrying that Florida wouldn’t be inclusive toward transgender people, but ultimately having a positive experience at the parks.
Legal experts say Tino may have violated Florida privacy laws
The backlash was swift and severe as critics accused Tino of a serious invasion of privacy.
TikTok users immediately pointed out that photographing people in bathrooms without consent likely violates Florida’s privacy and voyeurism laws.
TikTok users quickly identified serious concerns about the situation.
One angry commenter wrote that Tino’s real name is Nicholas Contino and accused the influencer of creating controversy for attention rather than genuine activism.
The same user expressed satisfaction that women captured in the photos were seeking legal representation.
Critics pointed out that both Disney and Florida have strict rules against recording people in bathrooms, noting that restrooms carry a reasonable expectation of privacy under the law.
Multiple women captured in Tino’s bathroom photos are reportedly considering legal action.
According to reports, at least one mother of a child shown in the background images is “seeking a lawsuit” against Tino for invasion of privacy and emotional distress.
Florida Statute 810.145 prohibits video voyeurism in locations where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy, including restrooms.
Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling calls out Tino as a “creep”
The controversy reached international attention when “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling weighed in on the scandal.
Rowling didn’t mince words when describing Tino’s behavior on social media.
“This man’s bathroom photos are trophies,” Rowling wrote. “He wants women and girls in the background because it proves he’s violating women’s boundaries. Without actual females there as props all he’s got is a selfie of a scary-looking creep in mouse ears, which isn’t remotely what he’s after.”
Rowling continued her criticism by exposing what she saw as Tino’s true motivations.
“He has zero interest in a greater cause. He’s using ‘activism’ as a fig leaf and a free pass for what excites him, as is the case with a load of these men. If it gives him a sexual kick he’ll keep doing it until he’s stopped,” the bestselling author added.
When followers questioned whether Rowling was giving Tino too much attention, she defended her decision to speak out.
“He’s getting publicity for being a gigantic male creep who takes pictures of women and girls in what should be protected spaces. Now men will know exactly who to be on the watch for in Disneyland, while waiting for their female partners and daughters. I’d call that a win,” Rowling stated.
Petitions demand Disney ban Tino from parks
The public outrage translated into concrete action as multiple petitions demanding accountability began circulating online.
A Change.org petition calling for Disney to ban Tino from their parks quickly gained momentum.
The petition stated that families deserve to feel safe and secure in private spaces without fear of being watched or having their privacy violated.
The petition rapidly collected over 289,000 signatures from concerned parents and Disney guests.
A separate petition aimed at banning Tino from both Disney and TikTok has gathered additional signatures.
Combined, the various petitions against Tino have reached nearly 500,000 signatures according to recent reports.
The hashtag #BanLillyTinoFromDisney began trending across social media platforms as more people learned about the bathroom photo scandal.
Tino deflects criticism by claiming discrimination
Rather than apologizing for violating other guests’ privacy, Tino doubled down and claimed the backlash was due to discrimination.
In a follow-up video, Tino attempted to justify the bathroom photos by comparing the situation to celebrities taking restroom selfies.
Tino questioned why the reaction was different for him, suggesting the criticism stemmed from transgender discrimination.
The influencer acknowledged not being able to “pass” as female but argued that this shouldn’t affect the right to take bathroom selfies.
Tino claimed that transgender women who don’t appear conventionally female face different standards and treatment.
Critics quickly pointed out the glaring flaw in Tino’s defense.
The issue wasn’t about transgender identity but about photographing other people’s children and families in private spaces without permission.
Celebrity bathroom selfies typically only show the person taking the photo, not unsuspecting bystanders and their children.
Disney World under pressure to take action
As of now, neither Disney World nor TikTok has issued official statements about the controversy.
The Magic Kingdom continues to face mounting pressure from families and advocacy groups to address the situation.
Disney World has historically prided itself on providing a safe, family-friendly environment where parents don’t have to worry about their children being photographed in private spaces.
The Tino scandal threatens to undermine that reputation if Disney fails to take decisive action.
With legal experts suggesting Tino may have violated Florida privacy laws and multiple families considering lawsuits, this controversy shows no signs of disappearing.
The incident has reopened broader conversations about privacy expectations in public spaces and the responsibilities that come with social media influence.
For now, families visiting Disney World are left wondering whether their children’s privacy will be protected in what should be the most magical place on earth.
