An American Airlines flight was disrupted after a woman expressed concerns about a passenger she claimed was “not real.”
On Monday, conservative commentator Ian Miles Cheong shared a video of the incident that took place over the weekend on a flight departing from Dallas-Forth Worth International Airport.
“You can say whatever you want. I’m telling you, I’m getting the f*** off and there’s a reason why I’m getting the f*** off and everyone can either believe it or they can not believe it,” the unidentified woman said in the video.
She continued:
“I don’t give two f***s, but I am telling you right now that motherf***er back there is not real.”
She added, “You can sit on this plane and you can f***ing die with them or not. I’m not going to.”
One passenger was heard responding, “Bye!”

By Wednesday morning, the video had received more than 5 million views.
A spokesperson for American Airlines told Fox Business in a statement the plane returned to the gate “due to a disruptive customer.”
“The flight was met at the gate by local law enforcement and the customer was removed from the flight,” the statement continued.
It added, “We thank our customers for their understanding and our team members for their professionalism in managing a difficult situation.”
It was not clear if the woman was arrested after the incident.
