An influencer has revealed shocking details about her Coachella experience which saw a man in the crowd pee on her leg – but she is not the only one to expose the gruesome realities about the festival.
Audrey Trullinger was among the thousands of music fans who flooded to the Empire Polo Grounds in Indio, California, at the weekend.
The social media star, from New York, took to TikTok to relay the details of the incident that left her ‘traumatized.’
And dozens of other attendees have been sharing their own encounters, including one woman who was left covered in blood due to a stage diver and widespread reports of someone pooing inside people’s tents.

The social media star, from New York, took to TikTok to relay the details of the shocking incident that left her in tears
In her ‘get ready with me’ clip, which has so far been viewed more than 362,000 times, Audrey recounts the situation as she prepares for a second day of Coachella.
Speaking about the incident, she tells followers: ‘Metro Boomin is where things started to go awry.
‘Like I said, we were up front… so we stayed put between Two Friends and Metro Boomin because we wanted to keep that spot.
‘And right before Metro Boomin starts, a few guys push up right next to us and they were kind of giving weird vibes – falling over, slurring their words – but I wasn’t going to move, I was there the entire time.’
She said that the set then started and she was getting into the music when things took an unexpected turn.
Audrey revealed: ‘All of a sudden I feel a liquid going down my leg and I’m like “oh my god is someone pouring their drink on me, oh my god it’s warm, oh my god I think that’s pee.”
‘That guy f***ing peed on my leg. I can’t even believe it. I wish I was kidding.
‘So instantly I start screaming and crying and I’m like “what am I supposed to do, I’m at the front of this crowd, how do I get out of here, I don’t know what to do.”‘

Audrey revealed that a fellow festival goer handed her a wipe before she confronted the unidentified man who then moved away.
She said she opted to leave the crowd after just one song, having been ‘slightly traumatized,’ in order to go home and shower.
Undeterred, Audrey concluded by saying: ‘Looking forward to today, hoping I don’t get peed on.’
But she is not the only one to have had a less-than-ideal experience at the festival this past weekend.
One woman took to the r/Coachella subreddit thread to share pictures of the injuries she sustained after being hit by a stage diver.
The unnamed attendee, with the username k_amusta, posted images of her bloodied nose as well as her dress dappled with red spots.
She uploaded the photos alongside a caption that read: ‘Shout out to the guy who gave me a bloody nose at Knocked Loose.’
Elaborating further, she wrote: ‘Was at the front and this big guy got on the stage then proceeded to jump right on my face.
‘Pics don’t capture my blood-covered hands lmao.’

And it seems fortunate that more people were not injured across the weekend – with other clips appearing to show a ‘stampede’ of Frank Ocean fans battling it out to get a front-row spot.
In the clip posted by TikTok user Danny, which has been viewed more than three million times, he said: ‘Day three of Coachella is an absolute mess.
‘Because Frank Ocean is performing for the first time in six years, fans are fighting each other to get a chance to see him.
‘As a matter of fact, when the Coachella gates opened up at noon, people began stampeding to the stage even though he wouldn’t be performing for another 10 hours.’

Another added: ‘Man I’d be absolutely heated lmaooooo.’
