She wasn’t able to compete in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo because she failed a drug test, now Sha’Carri Richardson found herself in more trouble after getting into an argument with a flight attendant.
According to the NY Post, the former Olympian recorded the entire exchange on her Instagram.
She claims she was confronted by the attendant named, “John,” because she was on a phone call. He then demanded that she put the phone on airplane mode and show it to him.
As the exchange grew more heated, you can hear the other passengers in the background begin to moan and groan and encourage Richardson to settle down.
Eventually, airport security came down to remove Richardson as she continued to argue and yell at passengers and the attendant.
She captioned the video saying she is considering pursuing legal avenues. No word if she was able to get on another flight.
