In the video posted on Instagram, she said to the flight attendant, “I’m recording me but you jumped in my video, so I caught you, because you jumped in my video. You’re harassing me at this point, so I think you should stop. I think you should stop.”

In another video on Instagram, Richardson is seen talking to the flight attendant asking her to leave the flight.

Richardson is heard saying to the man, “Oh, so you’re worried about a connection when a grown man is disrespecting me?” To which the man replied, “I don’t give a s**t.” Richardson is not the only celebrity who was booted off an American Airlines flight.

Odell Beckham Jr. Also Got the Same Treatment

Recently, Odell Bechkam Jr. was removed from an American Airlines flight for citing ill health. While Beckham also got into a confrontation with the passengers and the attendants, his plan of action was to just let the situation go, which was reflected in his tweet as well.

Richardson, unhappy with the situation, is contemplating legal action against the airlines and the concerned personnel. This is not the first time she has faced pushback, and therefore has no intentions of letting it slide. In her Instagram post, she wrote, “Tell me if I’ll be wrong to pursue legal actions against the airline.”. Do you think Richardson is justified?
