Woman destroys street player’s piano, swipes some of his hard-earned money: ‘No, stop!’

Shocking video posted to TikTok captured the moment a drunk woman knocked down a street performer’s piano while he was playing, then taking his tip money in Athens, Georgia.

The woman, identified by TMZ as Shauntae Heard, budged her way through listeners enjoying Andrew Husu’s performance of Billy Joel’s hit song “Piano Man” when she randomly pressed down on the keys to his keyboard.

“No, stop!” two people standing nearby shouted before telling a confused Husu to just continue playing.

The video skips ahead during the night when Husu was still set up on the sidewalk before Heard returned with friends.

“So this kind of stuff happens here and there so I usually just keep playing through it, but after what’s about to happen I had to stop,” Husu said in a voiceover during the viral video that’s amassed more than 3.2 million views.

Husu tries his best to ignore the heckler when she approaches the equipment a second time.

She lied about stealing his money, gave a faux apology then whined about being held accountable. She has the moral fortitude of a cockroach.

[rocketeer]

Clearly, she is used to harassing people. She even waited for him to be alone to get back at him because she was stopped the first time around. And seeing how her friends laughed shows that it's not a surprising behavior from her.

IF SHE GETS AWAY with this, she will do it again.

[lxmercyxl]

She only apologized and is sorry because she got caught

[scottthompson]

It's not an equality problem; it's a morality problem.

[ajkarate]

She didn’t apologize she told him to take down the video so she’d stop getting harassed, and he’s taking her to court lol

[KKemp-btnl]

It's SO EASY to tell when someone has never been punched in the face, or spanked as a child. She only apologized because the internet saw what she did, not because she was wrong.

[cardinmalone]

Never accept apologies from a repeat offender.

[avlisk]

I guess there wasn't an Apple store around to loot and trash.

[carinapcoelho]

No respect, no manners... of course her friends support this bs 🤦😒

[judsonkr]

That is some sort of privilege right there.

[rainshadowband]

FYI he pressed charges after she was identified. She'll get very minimal consequences in a legal courtroom, but she's getting absolutely torn apart by the court of public opinion. Faith in humanity is restored!!! There was absolutely no excuse for her actions. What she did was malicious and nobody thought it was funny except for her and her friends. Even Charlie Puth personally commented to the guy. If we can continue publicly shaming nasty individuals like that girl, we can prevent many unnecessary negative interactions. Let's go people!!!

[truthbetoldineverwasyours]

She came back intentionally to steal his monet, breaking the piano was the distraction

[CristianNazare]

She did not apologize, it was a fake apology. He ended up suing her.

[motherofthreeb]

What kind of friends would laugh at such behavior? This is embarrassing! No wonder we get frowned upon by other ethnic groups! Her parent(s) did a HORRIBLE job raising her!

[FalloutBoy]

There’s a little more video where one of the friends thief or the thief herself asks the guy if he wanted to fight about it and the guy refused

[clarence_claymore.]

“ she did nothing wrong, she’s a pillar of the community “✊🏿💁🏿‍♀️
*holds up pitcher of her in 4th grade*

[ghost-cbxd]

Okay let me get this straight, she stole his money, bullied him, and knocked down his piano. Then try’s to apologize💀Not to mention how she only apologized cause she got caught, not because she was wrong.

[iseiyoulaitre]

Your talented and light up people's walks. Keep on shining!
