AITA for Approaching a woman instead of her husband?

throw away since i post my tik tok content on my main sometimes.

I am 30M. i have a tik tok channel where i mainly do random interviews on the street. one of my street interview series revolves around finding rich people and asking about their income. i then will quiz them on the average persons income, to see if they are out of touch.

yesterday i went to a shopping area in beverly hills, i spotted a woman who appeared to be in her 20s with a man who i thought was her dad. they were leaving a shop on the street and stopped next to their car which was a rolls royce, my audience always comments on cars, especially those so i quickly went over.

i approached the woman, i asked how much her dad makes and how much she spends in one month on average. i held up the microphone and she looked absolutely shocked and stared at me.

the man shes with stepped in front of her like i was about to hurt her, and said he was her husband and wanted to know why i was filming her and had a microphone in her face.

i then tried to explain the series, he scolded me like i was breaking the law and wanted to know why i would approach her when there is a "man standing right next to her"

because he was being a dick i said "because i wanted to talk to her, not you" and he responded that i should have asked him if he could talk to her, and he would have told me no. what kind of man in 2026 thinks another man whose a stranger has to ask permission to speak to their wife? that cant be a common thing?

she wasnt much better than him, she grabbed his arm as soon as i walked over like she was afraid of me lol.

he was pretty much telling me its disrespectful for a man to walk up to a woman, whose with a man. i have never heard this once in my lifetime?? i always approach women because they are more likely to talk.

i did notice he was younger than i thought after i got closer, so maybe he was mad i thought she was his daughter?

ive been pissed since it happened. im guessing its just rich snob stuff that i havent encountered.

or whats making me most mad is im a black man, i wasnt dressed that nice that day and this little white girl hid behind her rich white husband who then got mad i approached her. AITA?
