BarkBox under fire, accused of stealing and posting TikToker's video without her consent: 'I'm furious'
TikToker Cecelia Fales claims BarkBox stole her video and shared it on Instagram without her consent.
"I told the company they could not post the video without paying me for their work," she said in a TikTok.
A BarkBox spokesperson told Insider there was "a miscommunication on our team."
A TikToker is accusing BarkBox of stealing her content and sharing an altered version of it on the dog toy company's Instagram account.
In a now viral TikTok, which has been viewed more than 5 million times, Cecelia Fales, who goes by the username @ceceandherpups, claims that BarkBox edited one of her original videos and posted it to the company's Instagram page last month — even though she initially refused permission when the company reached out.
"They removed my watermark, they removed my voiceover, and they put their own music behind the video to make it seem more original and like their video," she said in the video posted earlier this month. "They then posted it to their Instagram account even though I told the company they could not post the video without paying me for their work."
Fales said she was subsequently blocked by the BarkBox social media team after an email back-and-forth about the incident, calling out the company in her video for its "extremely unprofessional behavior."
A BarkBox spokesperson told Insider the company has "not been able to identify any such blocking and we would never do that" as it "is against BARK policy."
In a followup video, Fales shared screenshots of conversations between herself and the BarkBox team regarding the video. When she expressed she wasn't comfortable with the company using her video without compensation, she said she was connected with the brand's team to discuss rates.
But she said the company did not end up paying her and posted her video to Instagram anyway without her permission. "I was furious. I had created so much free content for their brand, simply for them to go and disrespect me like that," she said in the video.

In recent months, Disney's returning CEO Bob Iger has voiced a level of indecision that Hamlet would find frustrating over what to do with its streaming service Hulu. In a February earnings call, Iger said Disney "will take a very hard look at the cost of everything we make across television and film." Disney has had its first major dip in subscribers last year, as 2.4 million subscribers chose not to renew their Disney+ membership in the final quarter of 2022.
