Electronics giant LG’s Poland operation has posted an apology and removed all its other content from TikTok after backlash over a sexist video the brand shared on the platform.

The video, initially made by a viral prank creator and then shared by LG Poland on TikTok, features a man taking photos up the skirt of a woman climbing stairs. When she confronts him, he shows her he was only taking selfies, revealing after she walks away that he actually was taking upskirt photos.
