As the fan tried to apologize, Williams snatched the photos out of their hands and added, “No sorry. You can’t do this. This is really fucking weird, ok? You can’t fucking do this. This is fucking weird. You guys aren’t fans. You’re being really creepy and you just followed me, ok? You don’t do this. You don’t do this.”

Williams tries to burn the fans’ photos with a lighter, but they won’t catch. He then says, “I’m gonna burn this at home. Now please fucking leave, you’re being fucking demented. No, sorry, leave. I want to watch you. Hop on your little bike.”

One supportive fan commented on the video, “Being a celebrity doesn’t erase your right to privacy. Stop normalizing stalking and call it what it is. Let. People. Live.”

Another fan commented, “I feel so bad for him. He’s being treated like a zoo animal! He deserves to walk around freely without being harassed.”

This is not the first time Williams has confronted his fans about their inappropriate behavior. In March, he and his “Heated Rivalry” co-star, François Arnaud, posted dual statements on their Instagrams, telling off viewers who posted hate comments on their castmates’ social media accounts.

“Don’t call yourself a fan if you share racist/homophobic/biphobic/misogynist/ageist/ableist/parasocial/bigoted comments of any kind,” read the statements. “None of us need your hateful ‘love.’”
