Transgender influencer Lilly Tino is stepping away from social media, saying that “hurt has taken over my content.” In June, Tino faced a firestorm of controversy after she posted several photos and videos in the Walt Disney World bathrooms, rating each one of them.
The videos showed other park guests, sparking calls for legal action and for Tino to be banned from Disney parks. The Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said he is investigating the Disney World incidents.
Several of the women shown in Tino’s videos have taken to social media to say that they are considering “legal action” against Tino for filming them without their permission and posting the videos on social media.

A subdued Tino took to social media to announce that she was stepping away from the platform, saying:
The whole point of why I create content is to educate and entertain. Recently, my content has taken a bit of a shift… I’m hurt. I’m deeply hurt because of the amount of hate that I’ve gotten over the last three years doing this, and that hurt has influenced how I do things.
As a content creator and streamer, I’m always on camera. The hurt that I feel has influenced the way that I’ve pushed my content to be confrontational and in your face. But I don’t want the hurt to be a part of it anymore. That shift is not fun for me at all. It’s really awful.
Tino may have violated two separate Florida laws by taking the photos/videos in the restrooms. In 2023, Florida passed the Facility Requirements Based on Sex Act, which mandates that “individuals must use the restrooms, locker rooms, and changing facilities that correspond to their sex assigned at birth.” This law applies to “some” private, public, and state-licensed facilities.
Florida Statute 810.145 makes it illegal to videotape and broadcast someone in a bathroom without that person’s consent. In Florida, violating this statute is a felony, which could put Tino in prison for five years and come with a $5,000 fine.
This is not the first time Tino has caused a stir at a Disney Park. Last month, she recorded an interaction with a Disney World cast member in which the cast member accidentally misgendered her.
After she was misgendered, Tino returned her food and asked for her money back. The apologetic cast member refunded the money and paid for her drink.
Last year, Tino recorded herself in Disneyland using a corndog and cake pops to describe male anatomy and relating them to her genital surgery. Social media was outraged that Tino would be discussing the male anatomy at Disneyland, where children could be walking by at any moment.
Florida’s laws differ significantly from California’s, and Contino potentially violated at least one of them. Most people on social media were calling for Disney World and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to investigate Contino and the recording of unsuspecting Disney World guests in the women’s restroom.
With legal action against her pending, Tino has stepped away from the spotlight and “get the hate out.” Her next appearance could be in front of a judge.
