A former Disney employee revealed that married men used to hit on her as she played Tinker Bell, in a viral TikTok video.
Sarah Daniels, who goes by @saradanielstv on the app, and noted that she’s an “ex-Disney princess” (according to her bio) posted a video in response to an onlooker who asked: “How many Dads end up hitting on you BECAUSE you’re the character? As opposed to because you’re an attractive woman?”
Citing that it was a “unique question,” Daniels said: “I feel like if dudes are going to be creeps and hit on you, they’re going to hit on you whether or not you’re a character or not. But there were many moments, especially as Tinker Bell, where I had married men hand me keys to their hotel room and tell me where they were staying.”
How cringe-worthy.
Many commenters questioned why Tinker bell was sexualized.
Someone else who seeming played Tinker Bell as well agreed with Daniels’ sentiment and wrote, “Yes Tinkerbell! I was hit on so much as Tink.”
