    DJ Zach Sabri, better known on TikTok as SUAT, claims he is 'just trying to make the world dance' — something he does by blasting out rave music in unusual places. But his latest stunt at Brimham Rocks, watched more than two million times, has led in complaints of staff being bullied.

    The National Trust has said staff at Brimham Rocks have been subjected to bullying and harassment after a TikTok mobile DJ labelled them as "Karens" in his latest video.

    DJ Zach Sabri, better known online as SUAT, claims he is “just trying to make the world dance” by blasting out rave music in unusual places.

    But his latest stunt at Brimham Rocks, near Pateley Bridge, drew complaints from visitors that he was being too loud and that he was filming without permission.

    National Trust staff approached the TikTok star and asked if he had permission to film there. He did not, so they asked him to leave.

    He filmed the exchange with staff and included it in his TikTok video, which has now been viewed more than two million times.

    In the video caption SUAT claimed: "Karen never lets me rock climb."

    'Karen' is used a derogatory term online to describe a woman deemed to be entitled or demanding.

    A National Trust spokesperson said:

    "Visitors are very welcome to take photographs and videos of the outdoor places we care for. There's no additional charge for personal photography.
    "We do ask that anyone looking to use photographs or videos for commercial use seek permission beforehand. If approved, any associated fees are used for vital conservation work to care for places featured.
    "Permission is also required before filming or photographing National Trust staff and volunteers, who have a right to privacy.
    "When filming at Brimham Rocks, DJ Suat was approached by staff who wanted to act on behalf of other visitors. They had received a number of complaints on the day about the noise.
    "Unfortunately, as a result of this particular video, staff and their families have since been subjected to harassment and bullying, online and in person, for which we are supporting them."
