Marlon Wayans felt ‘targeted’ before getting kicked off United Airlines flight

nypost.com:

so freakin’ pissed.Comedian and “White Chicks” star Marlon Wayans took to Instagram on Saturday, claiming he was “mistreated” and “targeted” Friday by a United Airlines flight attendant, which resulted in him being removed from a flight and cited by police for disturbing the peace. “I don’t know what kind of corporate culture there is: your customers are always right,” Wayans said in a video in which he claimed he received a call from United customer service defending the attendant, whom Wayans called “rude and wrong.” In several previous Instagram posts, the 50-year-old claimed that an attendant asked him to consolidate his three carry-on bags into two, per the airline’s policy.Wayans claimed he complied — but was still asked to check one of his bags.

After a heated exchange with a member of the staff, Wayans said he received a citation for disturbing the peace from the Denver Police Department.“I’m willing to play that video back, put the sound on.

This man was wrong and I was targeted. Period,” he said, referencing a TMZ video that allegedly showed him slamming his ticket on the counter and then proceeding to board the plane.Wayans claimed that United “corporate” called him and told him that the attendant “got a text that there’s no more room on the plane,” which is why he was not allowed on. “@united gotta do better,” he captioned his post. “Don’t call me and defend an employee for targeting me.

This incident needs to be remedied. I ain’t resting until i am compensated correctly for this severe inconvenience. Bro a liar.”“In Denver on Friday, a customer who had been told he would have to gate-check his bag instead pushed past a United employee at the jet bridge and attempted to board the aircraft,” the airline said.
