A former Disney cast member was allegedly fired for posting videos of himself drinking water from public water fountains and appearing to spit it out, raising concerns over public health at a the theme park amid heightened COVID-19 safety policies.
TikTok user “showmelovejete,” who claimed to be employed at Disney World, recently posted videos of himself scooping up water from different fountains at Disney Springs and then tasting them from his reusuable water bottle. He then rated each fountain’s water before proceeding to spit it out, the video purports to show.
The clip, which was shared to social media last week, has been viewed nearly 7 million times as of Monday afternoon.

“I just got fired by Disney,” he said in a follow-up video, explaining that he was allegedly pulled into an office by his boss who told him Walt Disney Company reached out and “did not appreciate” what he was sharing on the app.
He was then told he was being let go.
“I wish Disney would have asked me to delete the videos instead of firing me,” he said in another video he posted about his firing.
