JetBlue Passenger Ejected For Cursing At Baby, Spitting On Seatmate, Hitting Gate Agent…

“I’m not sitting next to a f****** 3-year-old. I’ve been drinking all day!”

Need I say more?

Valerie Gonzalez, a JetBlue passenger traveling from Ft. Lauderdale to Las Vegas, boarded and found she was was sitting next to a three-year-old. Everything went downhill from there.

She began by expressing outrage over her little seatmate:

I’m not sitting next to a f****** 3-year-old. I’ve been drinking all day!

Out came all the cell phone cameras…

Gonzalez became angry that the passengers around her were recording her, cursing then spitting on the passenger in front of her.

She ends her phone call and then loses all cool as she sees so many recording around her.

Oh, you wanna tape me? Make, this viral, b**ch a**! Make this viral! You wanna make this viral, make it viral. What the f*** did I do? I called someone old ‘cause they were? I’ll get my bags. I’ll take my f****** s***. F**k all ya’ll.

Gonzalez walked off the aircraft, into the terminal, then moments later tried to board again. When a JetBlue agent stopped her, she decked him in the head.

She was arrested and charged with battery.

CONCLUSION

I’m not writing this to poke fun at Ms. Gonzalez. But I do write about these stories to warn that a drink too many can become very dangerous. We need constant reminders precisely because of incidents like what happened on the JetBlue flight above.

      ‘would of’? You would HAVE done better to separate yourself from the little people if you had used proper grammar.

      Way to go, making it about all of your elitists vs the real issue of her being a spoiled brat.

      IMO, put her in jail for a month, then make her apologize in person to those who she assaulted. I’d also make her do community work for 6 months.
      Perhaps this will give her the attitude adjustment that she needs.

      Perhaps you need one too…

    Many news organizations, including CBS, reported this. CBS had a reporter at DCA (Washington, DC) even though the flight is FLL-LAS and the airline headquarters in New York. That gives the illusion that the reporter is at the scene. Very deceptive. It’s very common actually, not reporting at the scene but going outside to do the news reports.

    This is what happens when flying is cheaper than a Greyhound…

      “She was arrested and charged with battery”. Did you not read the article before commenting?

    I’m enjoying the fact that (alcohol notwithstanding) her tirade started because of a 3-year old…and she proceeded to act like a two year old

    I’m sure she’s a mess even without alcohol.

    And another reminder. The FAA makes it illegal for us to fly you in your intoxicated. So if you get on the airplane and announce you’ve been drinking all day your done right there. Announce you’ve been drinking all day AND behave badly? Icing on the cake. Welcome to a day of not getting on your flight.

      Yes, but that’s the least of your worries when it comes to character flaws …

        For the sake of your wife or girl friend I hope you are joking.
