A Los Angeles woman has filed a civil complaint for damages against social media personalityAustin McBroom.

In a lawsuit claiming intentional infliction of emotional distress, stalking, harassment and trespass filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Wednesday, Nov. 21, Brittney Collinson alleges that the YouTuber — who boasts millions of followers — entered her property “without consent” and then posted a series of videos, some of which showed her home address.

According to the complaint, the YouTuber allegedly went to Collinson’s home on the morning of Aug. 19 and “proceeded to record a video of himself performing a loud and disruptive ‘skit’ wherein he feigned emotional distress, loudly vocalizing, scattering personal effects, and significantly disturbing the tranquility” of Collinson’s home and the neighborhood.

“McBroom appears to have pretended to move out (or get kicked out) of the home, though he has never lived there,” per the complaint. “Neither [Collinson] or her roommates had extended permission to McBroom for entry onto the property, the recording of any activities, or the dissemination of such recordings on any platform.”

Later that day, he allegedly posted a series of videos to his Snapchat account.

According to the complaint, after the videos were released, Collinson “experienced a significant increase in unwanted and threatening visits to her home.”

“Strangers showed up at [her] home uninvited, leaving her in constant fear for her safety and the safety of her home,” the complaint claims.

According to the complaint, McBroom had recently filmed an online dating show calledAustin’s Looking for Love,in which Collinson’s roommate was a participant.  Prior to the incident, McBroom allegedly posted content inside the home but the Aug. 19 incident “was not permitted in any manner.”

Collinson alleged she was forced to move out of the residence and pay double rent for at least a month, per the complaint.

McBroom rose to fame along withCatherine Paizin 2016 as family vloggers on YouTube’s ACE Family with their kids Elle, 8, Alaïa, 6, and Steel, 4.
