WATCH: Black Woman Gets Kicked Off a Frontier Airlines Flight, But Was the Airline Justified?
In news that can only be described as “girrrrrrl, what’s going on?”, a Black woman has found herself as the latest face of unruly airline passengers thanks to a tense exchange on a Frontier flight.
According to footage taken by TikToker Travel with Tia, who recorded most of the exchange, this unidentified Black women sitting in the exit row got into a verbal spat with not one but two flight attendants, which resulted in her catching an attitude and eventually getting ejected from the plane.
Many users online thought it was due to the fact that the woman told the attendants she jokingly would not save others and instead said: “Oh, I’m not going to save anybody. If something happens, I’m going to save myself.”
However, according to Tia, it was the lady’s rudeness and refusal to leave once asked by attendants that escalated the entire situation.
“She got kicked off the flight because of her attitude. Not because she wasn’t going to comply with the exit row seating,” Tia said. “Even though she did say jokingly before the flight attendants got to her that she was going to save herself first. She got ejected from the plane because she gave not one flight attendant, but the other flight attendant. She gave them both attitude. She called themboth out of their names. She was just being extremely unruly and could not be consoled.”
Tia went on to explain that it wasn’t a race issue as the belligerent woman called a Black flight attendant “n***er” but admitted she edited that part of the video out of fear that TikTok would take the whole thing down.
Prior to her removal, the woman can be heard saying she was on the phone with her attorney, but it remains to be seen whether or not she’ll take legal action.
She was finally removed off the plane once the pilot and police got involved.
