It seemed like the man staring while crossing paths with the TikToker was purposely doing so, making her feel uncomfortable. However, Swoll indicated a different perspective by calling out the female TikToker for falsely accusing the man. The bodybuilder explained that the man might be just people-watching and had nothing to do with her. He just crossed paths with the TikToker and then minded his own business.
