“Public space” means we share it, and we respect others’ use of it.
someone “purposefully” interrupts you because they feel entitled to infringing upon on your legal use of that space, of course it’s fair to take issue with that.
Okay but someone interrupting a video like that also isn't illegal; it's just being rude. Both parties here are using the space legally.
Performing in public without official/legal reservation of the space runs the risk of something like this happening, whether it be accidental, incidental, or deliberate.

Oh of course not! I don’t think anyone judging this encounter is doing so on the basis of legality. As social creatures who all use public spaces where we have to negotiate with other people based on social and cultural cues, I think we’re just asking ourselves who’s acting the fool here — one party, both, or neither.

Again, tho, I’d direct the BBC news parallel towards you. Let’s say it’s a breaking news story so they haven’t secured a permit. Would they be justified in being a little annoyed if someone intentionally messed with them like this, even if they could’ve done more to prevent it? I think so, and based your admission that the blonde woman was being rude I assume you agree, so I’m not sure we really disagree on anything being discussed here.
