Lauren Goodger has reacted with fury over a viral clip of a family being thrown off a flight because their two-year-old daughter refused to wear a face mask.
The former TOWIE star is calling for an air stewardess to be fired after JetBlue took the decision to remove a mum of six and her children from a plane when the little girl threw a tantrum over wearing her mask.
In a video that has spread like wildfire over social media, the mum can be heard pleading to be allowed to travel as the stewardess tells her the airline’s policy is for every passenger – regardless of age – to wear a face covering to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
The mum, named as Chaya Bruck, said she was “traumatised” by the experience of being thrown off the flight while attempting to fly from Orland to Newark airport on Wednesday.
And Lauren took the woman’s side in a furious Twitter rant, tweeting the video and adding: “I am absolutely livid ! Who is this women? Trying to throw a mother of six children off a plane because her 2 year old won’t keep a mask on!!!
“She paid for her and all her kids seats .. this women needs sacking .. f**king disgusting !!! People gone mad WOW,” the raging reality star finished.
It came after Chaya told US media how she became embroiled in an argument with cabin crew about the minimum age passengers have to wear a mask, believing that as her daughter is only two, she would be exempt from the rules.
“He said no, she has to cover her nose and her mouth, and I said I could try but then she was pulling it off,” the mum told reporters.
“A few minutes later, they came to me and they told me that I have to gather my things and I have to get off the plane.”
Chaya refused – and several of her fellow passengers begged the flight attendant to leave her alone.
But cabin crew then told the entire plane to evacuate to get the family to leave.
“They were horribly nasty, my kids were crying. Really traumatising,” Chaya went on.
“I asked them, ‘Should I tie her hands and feet? What do you want me to do?’ They just wanted me off the plane.”
Her husband told The Yeshiva World that he plans to file a federal lawsuit against JetBlue.
A statement from JetBlue said their policy on face coverings was updated on August 10.
