A controversial vegan activist has filmed the dramatic moment she and her boyfriend were escorted out of a five-star hotel after being told she was permanently banned from the premises.
Tash Peterson, 30, detailed in two Tik Tok videos how she was banned from entering Perth’s Crown Towers just two hours after she and her partner, Jack Higgs, checked into their room on Saturday.
The famous activist, who has been banned from other establishments after performing stunts, said the security guard told her the ban had been in place since September 2021.
Despite her previous protests, the Perth-based activist said the ban was not related to any stunt and claimed the couple were being banned for “doing nothing”.
“I’m being notified now, three years later. I’m permanently banned,” she said.
“So, essentially, we have to pack our things and leave.”
The couple was filmed being escorted out of their room and Ms Peterson said their only crime was wanting to spend her money at Crown.
“They kicked us out for doing nothing. For giving them our money,” he said.

Once outside, the bewildered couple was still trying to understand why they had been thrown out.

“I can’t remember the last time I came to Crown, I like to go out,” Ms. Peterson said.
“I think I was about 18. I didn’t do anything wrong. There was no incident.”
The vegan activist posted the TikTok video with the caption: “Banished from Crown Towers! Visit WATCHDOMINION.ORG for the truth.”
In a follow-up on TikTok, Ms Peterson admitted Crown Towers had refunded the couple’s money, but added the ordeal had ruined the couple’s weekend.
“Yes, and this was also meant to be a business issue,” Higgs said.
‘We were going to film content, we had everything planned.
‘We took our weekend for this.’
The couple was also angry that it took two hours to notify them of the ban, after they had already checked in and unpacked.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Crown Towers for comment.
Tash Peterson, 30, was informed of her ban from entering Perth Crown Towers just two hours after she and her boyfriend checked in (pictured, Crown security guards escorting Ms Peterson out).

Ms. Peterson said she also asked the security guard what the reason was and was told she needed to contact someone “higher up” to get that information.
“And then I saw in the documents that it said undesirable behavior,” he said.
The latest saga comes just days after the controversial animal rights protester pleaded guilty to two counts of trespassing and disorderly conduct over two separate confrontations at the Fyre restaurant in the northern Perth suburb of Connolly last year.
Petersen was banned from leaving Western Australia under a six-month community order issued by a Joondalup Magistrates Court magistrate last week.
Ms. Peterson also received fines of thousands of dollars.
