This is the shocking moment an influencer was heckled and called a ‘piglet’ while filming her meal in Wetherspoons.
Becca Stock, who is known on social media by the username @Beccaeatseverything, has built a following of nearly half a million following for filming her ‘honest food reviews’.
The 28-year-old, who often records her videos at home, recently took a trip to The Regal, a Wetherspoons in Gloucester, with the intention of reviewing the chain’s breakfast menu.
But footage of her tucking into the third dish of her 20-plate mega meal was interrupted by a ‘drunk and elderly’ man heard declaring how filming ‘all of that’ is ‘absolutely disgusting’.
When the TikToker repeatedly asked why, the ‘horrible’ man said ‘you’re just sat there eating like a f**king piglet’.
The video, captioned ‘man interrupts me while filming’, saw Becca tucking into a full English while fully mic’d up for filming purposes.
The man, who wasn’t visible in the shot, could be heard saying: ‘Excuse me, I actually do not agree with you filming that in here and I think it’s absolutely disgusting.’
‘I find it really bad both of you,’ he reiterated to Becca, who was sat opposite her partner in the restaurant.

The Wetherspoons patron continued to criticise her, repeatedly telling her what she was doing was ‘disgusting’.
He said: ‘It’s wrong what you’re doing. Just sat there eating like a f***ing piglet.’
Brave Becca hit back to brand the foul-mouthed punter ‘a disgusting human being’ and ‘the worst person I’ve ever come across’ before alerting staff who were bringing her more food.
The former chef said staff told their manager who ordered the rude customer to finish his drink and leave, which he did within 10 minutes.
The full-time content creator wasn’t sure if the ‘beer-bellied’ man, believed to be in his late 60s, was offended by the idea she would eat so much or the possibility of food wastage.
The video has since gone viral on social media, racking up 3.5 million views.
Many viewers took a sympathetic view, with one calling the offender ‘an awful angry little man boy’.
‘Pure misogyny. If a man was doing the eating he wouldn’t have cared. So sorry you had to experience that,’ another wrote.

Becca had ordered 20 plates of food and was just tucking into a full English when the rant started
A third agreed, writing: ‘You handled that so well! He deserved that plate all over him.’
But others weren’t so sure, with several commenters taking ‘his side’ and lambasting her for ‘filming in public’.
Another wrote: ‘I’ll be honest I’m so sick of everyone filming everything everywhere too, but the way that guy went about it was really inappropriate. speak to the business about instituting rules of behavior prohibiting content creation at their premises.’
‘Okay but you are reviewing a budget breakfast in a pretentious manner… Could be perceived as acting ironically, sneering down on customers,’ said another.
Becca admitted she was shaken and shocked by the ‘nightmare’ incident and struggled to continue her review of the £70 food haul.
The Gloucestershire-based food creator said: ‘I was just shocked and I wasn’t going to let someone talk to me like that. I wasn’t hurt by it.
‘My adrenaline was so high and my heart was beating out of my chest. This was my worst nightmare.

She was left ‘shaken’ by the encounter but was impressed with how the staff dealt with it
‘I thought he was just walking to go to the garden, then he stopped and started talking to my partner and telling him he doesn’t like what he’s doing.
‘Because I’ve dealt with a lot of hate online, you do keep yourself calm a little but I thought ‘hang on, you don’t get to say those things to me when you don’t know anything about what I’m doing’.
‘I thought he’d called me a fat pig but he called me a f**king piglet. What a weird thing to say to someone.
‘He must have been in his late 60s. He was around 5ft 5in with a beer belly and he had a cane.
‘It was clear he’d been drinking because he was slurring his words a bit and a bit drunk.
‘The table was full of plates and I’d say there were about eight on there at the time.
‘I assume he was brought over by the fact he saw so many plates. Perhaps he was a bit shocked.
‘Maybe he was thinking we were going to eat it all but I genuinely don’t know and that’s why I asked him what the issue was.
‘Was he thinking I was overeating, was he concerned about food waste, was he just jealous? He didn’t give me a reason.

‘He was just drunk and miserable.’
Becca says she and her fiancé, who was filming the content, were sitting in a quiet corner of the pub with around eight plates on their table at the time.
Her dishes included a Traditional full English breakfast, a vegetarian breakfast, savory muffins, scrambled eggs on toast and fruit with yoghurt.
She’s explained how she tries to avoid food wastage as much as possible and feels like her filming ‘isn’t anyone else’s business’.
Becca said: ‘He really shook me up. It was verbal harassment and it was really uncalled for. He could have just enquired and given his opinion.
‘I don’t feel like it’s anyone else’s business. Everyone does things that they want to do and not everybody agrees so just keep yourself to yourself.
‘We went to Tesco beforehand and got some plastic tubs so anything we didn’t eat and we could take away, we did.
‘We give it to foxes, birds, our dog and then we eat everything we can eat. With this job there’s food wastage but I don’t want stacks of food left on the table.
‘I’ll put the video out at some point but I’ll have to give some sort of context because at the start I’m fine and then I’m visibly shaking and I’m finding it hard to talk.’
Becca, who didn’t report the incident to police, had been asked by followers to review Wetherspoons’ breakfast offerings so decided the night before to film the video.
Her post said: ‘I’m still shaken up that this happened. The staff at The Regal Wetherspoons were amazing and told him to leave after the incident.
‘Gutted I didn’t get his face on camera. Some people are so miserable.’
