Instagram star Jen Selter did not have a great weekend after she was removed from an American Airlines plane by multiple police officers.

TMZ reported the following on the situation:

Jen was seated when another passenger went to the bathroom and she decided to stand up and pull something from the overhead. The flight attendant told her to sit down, and that’s when the argument erupted. At one point the flight attended asked Jen if she wanted to get removed from the plane and she responded, “Yes.” She later said she was just being sarcastic.

The flight attendant called for the pilot, but the argument got more intense. Although you don’t hear it in the video, a passenger called the crew “racist,” adding, “We are living in Trump’s America.”

That about did it … cops came on the plane and removed Jen, her sister and the other passenger. Jen and her sister were the only ones removed by AA.

Selter also uploaded two videos of the experience, and she’s clearly very emotional as a police officer explains the situation.

Here’s some free advice that I’m going to give all of you. When a member of the staff on a plane or the police tell you to get off, get the hell off the plane immediately. They’re not playing games.

Don’t sit around, cry, behave like a child, post videos and not comply with the authorities. You can deal with anything you think was unfair after the fact. When men with badges and guns show up, the time for fun and games has officially come to an end.

Does this drink make my butt look small?

I’m sure that Selter thinks she was in the right, and usually I would defend a hot woman’s right to do whatever she wants. Planes are a location exempt from that rule. Nobody enjoys being on a commercial airline flight. Literally nobody. I don’t care if you’re in coach, business or first class. It all sucks. So, you deserve to get thrown off if you’re causing a problem. I hate to side against Selter here, but I think she just should have gone quietly. That’d certainly be better than a video of her crying with police on a plane.
