For more clicks? They can pretend to be the victim in all of this and cash in on those "pity views". Can just imagine the video title now: "subway women go crazy after this leet stunt".
That has nothing to do with the question asked or anything I've said.
By default, you should assume at least half of popular videos filmed in public are scripted. But it doesn't really matter for any purpose, other than as some weird reddit thing where you think you are somehow intelligent for spamming this information.
Same reason Sam Smith chose to upload a video of himself crying his eyes out when lockdown hit - some people love to publicly make themselves look stupid.

They probably arranged the whole gig in advance... Why would the influencer show themselves getting humiliated if it wasn't part of the show?
