Fitness enthusiast and Instagram model Jen Selter has spoken out after she was kicked off an American Airlines flight when she and her sister got into a verbal altercation with flight crew members.
"People kept coming up to me. And then, all of a sudden, five male officers come atme. And it was really frightening," Selter said in an interview with Good Morning America.
According to the Daily Mail, the 24-year-old added that American Airlines "have to treat their passengers differently".
The flight attendant asked the pilot to come over, and the situation only escalated from there.
Police later came onto the plane to remove Selter and her sister. An additional passenger, GMA reports, got off the plane in protest of how Selter was treated.
GMA reports that American Airlines offered Selter complimentary hotel accommodation for the night, but she declined.
But Selter later wrote in a tweet that she was not offered accommodation.
AND correction @AmericanAir your employees working that night did NOT offer ANY accommodations. They specifically said if you get taken off, they are not responsible anymore and that we can sleep in the airport
