Yesterday afternoon @americanair threatened to have me jailed for no factor at all.
-After clearing my bag with eviction representative, flight attendant Sky Seaglass informs me my bag is too huge and I need to inspect it. I asked why, so he got frustrated and called his manager.
– The manager informs me it’s her choice whether I fly or not. That’s an essential information.
– The manager sees that the attendant Seaglass was incorrect about my bag and strolls me to my seat and states l’m excellent to fly.
– Moments later on the manager returns and informs me that if I do not follow the flight attendant while in the air, I will go to prison. The entire time, Seaglass, who l’m not talking with at all, is informing individuals he feels “hazardous.”
– Moments later on the manager returns and informs me I need to leave the airplane. I inform her I seem like that’s an offense of my human rights and my rights as a consumer. She then informs me I need to stop taping, although earlier she stated I might tape, and was made to sit and wait as everybody exits the airplane. I attempted to go live 3 times however @instagram kept cutting my audio.
– They then send out 3 policeman in.
– Police revealed surprise that @americanair team threatened me with arrest and stated just the authorities can make that call. Cops then state “we got called out for absolutely nothing” and “you didn’t do anything incorrect.” It’s right there on video.

Sha’Carri Richardson vs. American Airlines

Sha’Carri states she did as she was asked, however when she tried to tape a video of herself, the flight attendant crashed the video in an effort to make certain the phone remained in Airplane Mode.
From there, whatever went left! Words were exchanged in between Sha’Carri and the flight team along with other travelers, who merely desired her to comply and hush so that they might fly.
Sha’Carri required to Instagram writing:
Tell me if I’ll be incorrect to pursue legal actions versus the airline company @americanair not just did the guy threaten me however likewise an innocent spectator who merely just desired a photo with me.
In the start of the video you can hear a Caucasian male state that he doesn’t offer a f as a guy that male flight attendant is daunting a lady.
Also, the captain refraining from doing anything to assist the circumstance and this flight attendant has the applause when I left the airplane when I’m quite major the disrespect I got would not have actually occurred if I was a one of them.
One of them even specified all the best with your restriction ( I see he made the effort to do some research study however not defend what’s right) soooo @americanair this flight attendant name was John and he declined to mention his surname.
However him and the girl y’all see standing beside him looked me up ☺️💅🏾likewise if I see videos published from this flight, watch.
Tag @americanair if I can assist simply someone not need to handle a scenario like this with a person like this, I’ll take the heat 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
When Sha’Carri Richardson disembarked, the other travelers praised.
Watch both videos she shared by means of Instagram listed below.
When Talib Kweli saw what occurred with Sha’Carri, he required to Instagram writing:
@americanair is racist. Period. Within a period of a week @americanair flight attendants have actually called authorities on not one, not 2 however 3 well-known Black individuals, me Odell Beckham Jr and now Sha’Carri Richardson.
If this is how they are dealt with Black folks with popularity advantage think of how they are dealing with Black folks without big platforms! 👀 #dontflyaa
This is not a coincidence. Are @americanair flight attendants being trained to profile, target and bother black individuals? It definitely looks that method.
Flight attendants informing the pilots they feel hazardous in the existence of Black travelers in order to sic authorities on Black travelers is an odd flex.
Knowing how authorities disproportionately abuse Black individuals, think of how hazardous we feel as Black travelers now.
You might remember that in Odell Beckham, Jr. was booted off of an American Airlines flight in November after a flight attendant declared he “seemed entering and out of awareness.”
Odell discussed Sha’Carri’s publish about her event composing, “WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTT 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. BUTTT IM THE @SSSSHOLE.”
He included, “TELLL ME U GIT KICKED OFFF THE AMERICAN FLIGHT FOR NO FACTOR 😂😂😂😂”
See his initial remarks listed below.
I’m so sorry that Talib Kweli, Sha’Carri Richardson, and Odell Beckham, Jr. had unfavorable experiences with American Airlines.
But, I believed we were made with them after they kicked a couple with a 7-week-old baby off of a flight…
