    The whole thing is so silly. Wasting everyone’s time instead of ignoring a single drink someone walked on. Is it truly worth 20-30 minutes from 100+ people, yourself included, if a person has a drink? That stewardess must have had a rough week to have made such a fuss over what could have been an inconsequential lie by omission. Even worse if she did this *GAG* for the company.

      Yeah, even if she downed an open beverage before/while boarding I don’t get how that is different from all the other people practically doing shots with added anxiety meds at every airport I have ever been too.
      Disposal by aggressive rapid consumption is like an American right of passage.

      instead of ignoring a single drink

      We have no idea how many drinks she had before getting on the plane. Perhaps the flight attendant didn’t want to deal with an argumentative, potentially drunk passenger in addition to her other duties.

        Watch the video. She’s apologetic, quiet, and pretty candidly sad. Her speech is a bit peculiar, but that’s solely to do with her deafness, which would cause most people to reassess the situation. Were I watching this unfold, deaf person or not, I’m counting the entire situation as worth less than none of my time. Post-deafness realization, I’m asking a coworker to cover that side of the plane for me.

          I have watched the video, and I’ve watched a couple others on her channel. She doesn’t speak like that normally, she’s exaggerating it for the views. And the only video we’ve seen is the one she’s chosen to put online (with her own edits), which will naturally portray her as in the right.

          Apparently she’s a law student, very litigious, and has been losing followers because her ongoing saga with the HOA board has become “boring”.

            That’s a reasonable point. When the entire video eventually makes its way out, I’d be able to offer a more comprehensive moral opinion. If video of her being belligerent begins circulating, I’m with the stewardess on the ejection.

            But as it stands, my holistic impression is just to let things like this pass. It’s not worth putting yourself in a quagmire for a company.

        There is always someone who takes the side of the oppressor over the victim under the guise of “we just don’t know for sure”.

          Am I not allowed to look at her video history where she’s always the victim, note the fall in the number of her followers (until this video came out), look at the video that she edited and put online, notice discrepancies in that video, and think, “There may be more to this than just what she’s chosen to show us”? Because that’s where I am.

            Correct. You cannot make an assertion about whether someone had more drinks prior based on their Tik Tok history.

        But if we kicked all the drunk people off of planes who would fly it?
