On November 27, 2022, Odell Beckham Jr. made the headlines when he was booted off a plane for creating a nuisance. It all started when a flight attendant asked the free agent to put on his seatbelt as the plane was about to take off, but the superstar receiver refused to do so.
Then OBJ was asked to get off the plane and didn’t oblige, which prompted the airlines to call the authorities. In the body cam footage released by the police department, it’s visible that the officers are asking Beckham to get off the plane. “We’re going to have to deplane everybody on this plane, and then you’re still going to get off,” the cops said.
Eventually, everyone had to get off the plane, and only then did OBJ get down as well. Passengers were enraged by Beckham’s behavior and asked him to leave the plane, which further antagonized him, resulting in him abusing a passenger.

Odell Beckham Jr. was heard shouting obscenities at fellow passengers in the bodycam video. “You’re everything wrong with the world,” Beckham said. “Looking at me to get off a plane, for you. I would never. Ever in my life get off the plane for you. Specifically you. Maybe everybody else, I would get off the plane.”
Beckham continued, “You gon’ wait 40 minutes and I’m going to be on a private plane home. Yeah, with your fat ass. Get your ass off the plane for a second. Enjoy the cheese board on the way home with your ugly ass.” The 30-year-old receiver’s unusual behavior confounded all the fans. Beckham explained his side of the story in a series of tweets.
Beckham said in a tweet: “can’t address everything in this world, it’s exhausting. Errbody got an opinion on situations they weren’t involved in. All u can do is kno who u truly are. Purell only kills 99.9% of germs…there’s always gon be a lil left over.”
Odell Beckham Jr. had clarified that he was asleep and forget to put the seatbelt on and the flight attendant blew the whole thing out of proportion. Most of the fans are appalled by the Super Bowl champ’s behavior on the flight. OBJ’s recent behavior might cause some issues with him looking for a team to land in 2023. However, a team that’s desperate for a wide receiver might sign him and overlook his antiques.
