Richardson is one of the biggest track and field athletes in the United States. On her Instagram, the 23-year-old athlete claimed that a flight attendant disrespected her for using her cell phone before takeoff. In the Instagram video, she shows visuals of herself and pans to the flight attendant, who can be seen engaging in a verbal spat with the athlete.

While no details have emerged about Richardson’s travel destination, it seems like she was vacationing, as per the details on her Instagram video. When asked to stop recording, she replied, “I’m recording me but you jumped in my video, so I caught you, because you jumped in my video.” The passengers in the plane started getting agitated with Richardson’s antics and requested her to stop arguing with the attendant.

Sha’Carri Richardson was removed from an American Airlines flight this Saturday following a verbal spat and altercation with the flight crew. Before the takeoff, Richardson was spotted being on a call on her phone by the attendant and was asked to stop. She claims that although she immediately obeyed the orders from the crew, she found the flight attendant’s tone disrespectful.

Richardson, expressing her resentment, says,  “I stated to him I didn’t like the tone he used with me. Following that while standing in front of me doing the safety protocols he continued to lean over to look at my phone. He asked to see that my phones were in airplane more at this point. He demanded that me show him. Which I did in front of him.”

From the video, it is unclear where Richardson’s travel destination was. However, she mentioned that she was vacationing. The flight attendant can also be seen captured in the video as Richardson pans at him. To this, the attendant objected to her recording, invoking an animated response from Richardson. She replied, “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.”

The other passengers were increasingly aggravated by her antics and asked Richardson to stop the fiasco. Richardson would not back down and would reply, “Talk to him. No ma’am. Do not talk to me like that. I’m an adult. Do not talk to me like that. Do not talk to me like that. Tell him to stop. If you do not know what’s going on, do not yell at me.”

Following this incident, Sha’Carri Richardson was asked to exit the plane and was escorted out by the crew. The passengers started applauding as the crew removed her from the flight. Before leaving, Richardson continued trading shouts with the passengers and the flight crew. “Thank you, by the way, I’m going to miss my connection; I have to now get off the plane,” replied an irritated and agitated Richardson. To this, a fellow passenger replies, “I don’t give a s**t.”

Richardson posted a social media post about her discontentment and hinted at pursuing legal actions following this incident. She believes a white Caucasian male attendant intimidating a woman was gravely unjust. She also blamed the flight captain for not taking appropriate action for this incident.
