Brad can be seen attempting to free himself from the woman before security intervenes and escorts her out.
"This is absolutely disrespectful. First, you're invading his personal space and HE'S HUMAN, second, you don't have his permission, you didn't even ask about it. Third, he is tired of the filming and anyways he went back to take a pic with you, can you act with respect?" an X user captioned the clip, which has a text overlay that reads, "She got a selfie and even a kiss."
