A DoorDash driver who recorded what she claimed was a sexual harassment incident during a delivery is now facing two felony charges for unlawful surveillance and disseminating the images online (on TikTok). This may sound like it’s bad for her, but it’s easy to see why she was charged when her actions seemed to be the opposite of what you should do in this situation.
The incident itself sounds incredibly disturbing. Henderson detailed the delivery in her initial clip, explaining that a customer named “Austin” placed an order and selected the option to have it left at the door. When she arrived, she said she saw him “asleep on the couch” with his pants and underwear pulled down to his ankles. The front door was wide open despite the temperature being 59°F, which Daily Dot reported, but it is not the whole truth.
I’ve seen some posts and clips that I cannot prove are completely accurate and unedited, so I will just say they do show that the door seems to have been almost completely closed. Also, the directions on the order said to leave the food on the porch and to leave. Instead, she chose to take out her phone, open his door completely, and film him and claim this was sexual assault. I’d say not to pick a side because there is clearly a lot more to this than one side can say.
Don’t post nude images of people online without their consent
If the door was actually open, that is something that should immediately be reported to DoorDash so the user is banned. However, she decided to post him on TikTok and talk about it while revealing him in that video. After action was taken against her for posting this, Henderson later insisted that both DoorDash and TikTok retaliated against her after she posted the video.
She felt that DoorDash punished her for exposing her alleged assaulter. She stated that recording and posting the video was the “only justice” she was getting because she had also reported the incident to the police, and the police were “doing nothing.”
Austin later told police he had fallen asleep accidentally after a night out and was unaware of the exposure or open door. Ring camera footage (provided to authorities) reportedly shows Henderson opening the door herself—contradicting her claim it was already ajar—though she…

The police report, filed two days after the delivery, confirms Henderson contacted authorities to prevent similar situations for other workers. Despite her efforts, the responding officer concluded that no crime had occurred on the customer’s part. The report noted this was because the customer had been inside his own home and was reportedly not visible from a public space. That technicality is really tough to swallow when you consider the circumstances.
Still, that is the law, and she could have done something other than post that online. DoorDash confirmed the account deactivation stemmed from privacy violations, which she openly admits to, not her harassment report. The company issued a public statement on TikTok clarifying its position. This isn’t just knocking on a door you shouldn’t have, The company stated that posting a video of a customer in their home and disclosing their personal details publicly is a clear violation of their policies.
While they permit evidence-gathering, they forbid sharing any customer’s personal information online. That is fair, because if the door was actually closed, you should never open it, especially if the note says to leave it alone. It’s an invasion of privacy, and I hope that a ring camera was around so we can clearly see what happened.
