"She walks through the alleyway and barges through everyone, goes straight up to the DJ and says 'can you turn it off?'
"He says 'oh, you're ruining the party' and everything and then she tries to explain her daughter has a 9am exam the next morning and says 'you're not being very considerate'.
"Obviously, it didn't really end up working out for her, because the guy who actually was DJ'ing didn't really care.'

The student - who plans to change his course to content creation and media studies come September - filmed the party and uploaded clips to TikTok.
Leeds City Council officers who had descended on the home had to call for police backup after their requests to turn down the music went ignored.

Student Gene said the music in the back garden ended at around 2am - with students then taking the party out in to the quiet cul-de-sac as a driver blasted music out of their car.
He said: "When everyone was at the front of the street, a car was playing music on full blast.
"That ran for another half an hour until the police - everyone was gone by 3am.
'It took quite a lot of time to get people away because everyone was stood about wanting to see what was going on."
While Gene says he does have some sympathy for the upset neighbours, ultimately, he says, they should be more empathetic.
He said: "If I was in their situation, I'd be upset and I'd be angry - especially if my daughter's got a 9am exam, for example.
"But, I'd never complain - I don't think I could ever bring myself to complain - because there's clearly a reason they're doing it.
"Obviously it was their last big send-off party, you just have to put yourself in their shoes and think how gutted I would be if someone was complaining."
On TikTok, commenters were sympathetic with neighbours.
One user said: "Not a Karen, it's reasonable? I had a 9am chemistry exam and the uni house next door had a party.
"Went into the exam absolutely knackered. Just go clubbing or do the party on a weekend like a normal person."
Another wrote: "This is one of the many reasons why people are against the amount of students in cities as there are no caps on students numbers any more, too many students and things like happening too."
A spokesperson for Leeds City Council said: "Incidents like this remain rare, largely due to the strong partnership working and investment that's been made over time by Leeds City Council's Dedicated Service, a project jointly funded by University of Leeds and Leeds Beckett University.
"With regards to this incident, the Dedicated Service out of hours noise team received two calls from one resident relating to a large house party with external speakers and laser lights.
"Council officers arrived on site and unacceptable noise was witnessed from a distance of 100 metres.
"When the officers approached the house there were approximately 300 people in the garden area and an unknown number inside the house itself.
'Initial requests to turn the music off were refused, however once the tenant of the property had been spoken to the music was turned off and people started to disperse.
"Due to the number of people leaving the address, police attendance was requested.
"The occupants of the address in question have been dealt with under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 via the Leeds Anti-Social Behaviour Team with further investigations on-going."

"This is happening far too often — not just to me, but to survivors everywhere. The courts are being used to retraumatise victims, not protect them. "I spoke my truth. I fought for justice. And I was let down. Moment vile woman caught kicking dog on neighbour's doorbell camera "We need change - because justice shouldn't be this easy to escape." The court was told the pair had been in a relationship for around six months between December 2021 and May 2022 but remained "on and off" after it ended. Giving evidence, Chloe described their relationship as "narcissistic" adding: "You are addicted to the highs and lows. It is euphoric." During her evidence, the influencer said: "I genuinely thought I'm going to die." She told the court she was left with six bite marks and as a result she needed a tetanus shot and antibiotics. Chloe later went to hospital where it was found one of the bite marks on her neck had "turned septic", it was said. Jurors previously heard a slew of messages were recovered from Lawrence's phone that were sent just before the accusations of assault. He told her: 'I'll do everything in my power to f**k you up. "You're a lying little w****, you said you were coming to me an hour-and-a-half ago." Chloe also described Lawrence as "crazy" and claimed he pursued her while she was at the Cannes film festival and in Mykonos with friends.

Lawrence claimed: "She had a mark on the side of her face. It looked like a footprint. It was a round mark. It was a red round mark. "She always described the relationship as violent. She said he used to beat her up, things of that nature." Asked by Tom Wyatt, defending, whether he had ever bitten anyone, Lawrence replied: "Absolutely not. I'd never even had a fight". The defence lawyer said no one was suggesting Chloe was not assaulted but claimed Guccuk was responsible for her injuries. Mr Wyatt added: "She couldn't risk losing the man who paid for her lifestyle." Francesca Allen, 28, who appeared on series five of Love Island, dated Lawrence in 2018 and wrote a character statement as part of Lawrence's defence. Following his initial arrest, Lawrence had wept and said: "This is ridiculous. She's ruining my life. I asked her to leave." Lawrence later gave police a prepared statement in which he confirmed his relationship with Ms Othen began in January 2022 and ended four months later "because she aborted my child". 8 Ricky Lawrence denied assault and was cleared of all charges Credit: Dan Charity 8 Chloe has hit out on Instagram after the ruling saw Lawrence walk free Credit: Instagram 8 She questioned the 'justice' of the situation despite Lawrence being cleared Credit: Instagram 8 The model told jurors she feared she would die Credit: Central News
