Viewers can hear Ashliegh repeatedly ask Orlich for the reason behind snatching her wig. and he never gives a response. Two men who were with him were doing their best to get him to apologize, but her cries went unanswered. Once she got home, Ashliegh posted another video describing how hard Olrich had to pull at her in order to snatch the wig off her head, as there were combs attached to it.
