A woman was booted off a Frontier Airlines flight after a viral video shows her trying to fight a man who accused her of taking his seat. Causing a heated debate online over who was right and parental responsibilities.
The video, posted by @bookthevacation on TikTok, shows a man accusing a woman of stealing his seat and letting her children’s behavior on the plane go unchecked.
The man is heard telling a cabin crew member about his experience being seated in front of the woman’s children, saying they were kicking his seat and acting unruly.
“I paid for my flight like everybody else!” the man yelled.
He said that even though the mother’s seat was a few rows ahead of his, she ended up taking his seat without permission. The woman argues that it is her seat.
“That is his seat!” one passenger yells.
“This is my seat!” the woman yells back.
The woman also defends her children’s behavior, repeatedly saying that one was “a baby” and accusing the man of hitting her with his phone and “acting like a b****.”
“I paid for my seat! That’s not how you respond to somebody!” the man shouts.
The man said that he tried to approach the woman calmly about how she had relocated herself to his seat, but she acted as if he was in the wrong, triggering an argument on the flight.
The woman is heard talking over and yelling at the man, prompting one flight attendant to tell her to “calm down.”
At one point, the woman is seen tussling with the man as he calmly holds her back.
“Can somebody grab her?!” one passenger shouts.
Another passenger is seen intervening and grabbing the man’s arm to draw him away from the fight, drawing protests from other people on the plane.
“Don’t grab him!” one passenger shouted.
Text overlaid on the footage said that when the man said something to her about her conduct, “she started swinging.”
The video ends with the moment a police officer comes on board. The TikTok account that posted the footage confirmed that the woman and her children were escorted off the plane by police.
The video drew more than half a million views and thousands of comments on TikTok.
“Um no. She is 100% in the wrong. Keep your kids in check and teach them about personal space and how to behave in public,” one person wrote.
“Was I the only one that was instantly mad when the man grabbed the black guy instead of the person who was actually being aggressive?” another person added.
