A Los Angeles woman has filed a civil lawsuit seeking damages against a social media personality Austin McBroom.

In a lawsuit alleging intentional infliction of emotional distress, stalking, harassment and trespassing, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Wednesday, November 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.

“Several of these videos clearly included (Collinson’s) home address as they showed the exterior of her home with a clear view of the street and street address numbers,” the complaint states. “This aggressive act by McBroom violated (Collinson’s) privacy and caused her significant emotional distress and fear of consequences resulting from the publication of (her) home address to millions of strangers.”

According to the complaint, the YouTuber allegedly went to Collinson’s home on the morning of August 19 and “then recorded a video of himself performing a loud and disruptive ‘skit’ in which he feigned emotional distress, vocalized loudly, scattered personal items, and significantly disrupted the peace” of Collinson’s home and area.

“McBroom appears to have pretended to move out of (or be kicked out of) the home even though he had never lived there,” according to the complaint. “Neither (Collinson) nor her roommates gave McBroom permission to enter the property, record any activities or distribute 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 published, Collinson “experienced a significant increase in the number of unwanted, threatening visits to her home.”

“Strangers showed up at (her) home uninvited, leaving her in constant fear for her safety and that of the home,” the complaint states.

According to the complaint, McBroom recently filmed an online dating show called Austin is looking for love which Collinson’s roommate took part in. Before the incident, McBroom was allegedly posting content at home, but the Aug. 19 incident “was not authorized in any way.”

In her complaint, Collinson alleged that she was forced to move out of her apartment and pay double rent for at least a month.

McBroom rose to fame with Katarzyna Paiz in 2016 as family vloggers on YouTube ACE Family with their children: Elle (8), Alaïa (6) and Steel (4).
