In Pawluk’s video, Maree is filmed without her knowledge or consent. She appears to be moved by the flowers, and the comments under the video remark on that, with some users saying “that was beautiful,” or “she looks like she needed this.” The accidental star of Pawluk’s viral short spoke up against the situation, sharing her thoughts with Australian ABC Radio Melbourne. She expressed that she felt dehumanized by the way she was treated by the masses despite having no choice in the matter.
She told ABC News: “He interrupted my quiet time, filmed and uploaded a video without my consent, turning it into something it wasn’t, and I feel like he is making quite a lot of money through it. It’s the patronizing assumption that women, especially older women, will be thrilled by some random stranger giving them flowers.” Shortly after Pawluk walked off, leaving her with the flowers, Maree realized that she was being filmed, but the group that was recording her allegedly denied doing so.
The video blew up in a short while, and without wanting to, Maree became the star of many articles. The short, as is often the case, has been reposted to many different platforms. Maree read an article about herself that referred to the story as a “heartbreaking tale” and to her as an “elderly woman.” To this, the woman said, “I feel like clickbait.”
