Actress-turned-YouTuber under fire for 'taxi fart' controversy

Actress-turned-YouTuber 'A' is under fire due to an unexpected fart controversy.

'A' is facing criticism online for reportedly swearing and abusing a taxi driver 'B' after he allegedly farted in the vehicle. The incident began going viral on online communities on February 13, and according to reports, 'A' was streaming live during the Lunar New Year holiday when she stepped into 'B's taxi early in the morning on the 10th.

'A' reportedly asked taxi driver 'B,' "I'm sorry, but why did you fart? Why does it smell like this? I think you farted." When 'B' denied it, 'A' repeatedly questioned him and interfered with his driving, saying she would get out of the taxi while it was on the road. 'A' then allegedly illuminated 'B' with her camera, and 'B' hit the camera in anger.

The Youtuber reportedly told police, "Why was he so angry? Can't I even ask?" She further claimed 'B' had assaulted her when she continued to take photos of him. When police were dispatched to the scene, 'B' reportedly couldn't stop swearing, and 'A' allegedly said, "That's why you're just a taxi driver."

Under the current law, assaulting a bus or taxi driver who's operating a vehicle can result in a maximum sentence of 5 years in prison.

Netizens commented, "It hurts to see the humiliation suffered by the elderly driver on Lunar New Year's Day," and "The people who were watching her in real-time are more creepy."
