Ashy Bines has come under fire from fans and followers after posting a ‘dangerous’ act to her social media.
The controversial influencer, 35, posted to TikTok this week to share a clip in which she is hanging out of the window of a moving car.
Appearing not to have a seat belt on, Ashy, who was a passenger in the vehicle, stuck her head through the open window before leaning out backwards at shoulder height.
The caption on the clip, which was since been deleted, read: ‘POV: You don’t need to prove anything to yourself or others’.
While it is not clear where the video was shot, Ashy is based on Queensland’s Gold Coast.
Queensland Police confirmed to The Gold Coast Bulletin that ‘motorists and passengers hanging out of a moving vehicle is not only dangerous but also illegal’.

‘Those caught hanging out of a car window or sunroof could face fines exceeding $1200, with additional penalties for drivers who allow this behaviour’ a statement from Queensland Police read.
‘Police urge all road users to prioritise safety and report any dangerous driving incidents to authorities’ it continued.
Viewers of the deleted clip were not amused by what they saw, with several comments condemning the act.
‘Normally I’d just think “idiot” but if she has a million followers, it’s really poor form to influence those who are vulnerable to copying such stupidity’ one person said.
‘My old babysitter’s son died by doing this, I’ll never understand how some people truly think they’re invincible’ one more wrote.
‘I know of someone who got beheaded doing something similar,’ someone else said.
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Bines for comment.
Ashy is no stranger to controversy and has made headlines in the past for her contentious social media posts.

Last year, she shared messages from trolls after she only took one of her children on a European holiday.
Ashy posted to Instagram recently to share the messages she received after she took son Taj, eight, away with her on a trip to Italy and France, but left her young daughter Tala, two, at home with husband Steven Evans.
The mother-of-two posted a series of happy snaps to Instagram as she enjoyed the sights of Paris with her son.
‘Paris has been a dream come true,’ she shared in the caption at the time. ‘So many wow moments and omg am I actually here!’
But some followers reacted negatively to the fitness influencer’s joyous post, claiming she should not have left her baby daughter at home.
In a reel shared to the social media platform, the Queensland-based health guru shared a collection of hateful messages she received after posting about her travels with her son.
‘You never wanted a girl, it’s so obvious he’s your favourite child because you only took him overseas. Your poor daughter,’ read one message.
‘Disgusting leaving your daughter behind. I would never leave my kids,’ wrote another detractor.

‘You’re actually just so annoying, like so annoying, your face and voice. Your poor kid,’ wrote another, along with a head explosion emoji.
However, not all of the messages she shared were negative, with Ashy taking the time to shine light on the followers who appreciated her posts with Taj.
‘Wow Ashy! Such a beautiful trip with your son making special memories. Thank you for sharing. I have thoroughly enjoyed following along. Memories he will have forever,’ wrote one fan.
‘I love that you have just taken Taj and normalising that the one-on-one time is so important,’ wrote another alongside love heart eyes emojis.
‘All this content is making me so happy. How special for Taj,’ another comment read.
In the caption to the post, Ashy wrote ‘perspective is so interesting.’
In a September 14 post, Bines claimed she wanted to enjoy more solo getaways with her son, writing, ‘So grateful for this trip, definitely want to do more trips just with Taj.’
It’s not the first time the Gold Coast-based influencer has come in for criticism for leaving her children behind.

In 2022, Ashy received an avalanche of hate after taking a weekend girls trip with her friends and leaving her baby daughter home.
In an Instagram post at the time, Ashy defended her decision and said it was a difficult one to make.
‘Moments before I balled my eyes out at the airport leaving my baby nearly 48 hours,’ she captioned a series of photos of her with Tala.
‘I LOVE my baby and fully trust and love Steve having his bonding time with the kids and can enjoy myself knowing they are happy and safe’.
She went on: ‘One DM (direct message) this morning (read): ‘How COULD you leave your baby with Steve for that long that’s so wrong’.
‘I think it’s wrong for other women to think it’s wrong, send such a message and also why would I have children with someone I don’t trust? Wrong to leave my kids with their dad? If a dad went away for 48 hours he’s never even questioned?’
Ashy continued: ‘Mummas let’s be kind to one another and not project or send hate to another mum who’s doing her thing. Might not feel right for you and that’s okay, we all do exactly what feels good for us.’
She was hit with the trolling messages after posting a series of images and videos to Instagram Stories showing her partying with her friends during the trip.
Ashy, who married Steve in 2014, is known for sharing her health and fitness tips with thousands on social media.
