Newly released police video shows Odell Beckham Jr. hurling insults at a fellow passenger aboard an airplane Nov. 27.

Passengers reportedly became irate after the NFL star refused to put on his seatbelt at the request of flight attendants, according to the New York Post. The athlete’s refusal to cooperate reportedly delayed the departure of the other passengers and the situation became heated.

Video shows Miami-Dade Police Officers attempting to engage Beckham, but in spite of their efforts to encourage him to participate, the athlete began hurling insults at a man on the plane, calling him “fat” and “ugly,” as seen on the video posted by TMZ.

WATCH:

Police boarded the American Airlines plane at Miami International Airport when the 30-year-old former Rams receiver was reported as unresponsive to the requests made by flight attendants, according to the New York Post. “I’ve never had this happen to me,” Beckham told police.

The officers echoed the instructions given by the flight staff, and requested for Beckham to deboard the plane.

“We’re going to have to deplane everybody on this plane, and then you’re still going to get off,” police said. Beckham responded, “That’s fine.”

Officers told the passengers to deboard, and as they began to collect their items to depart the plane, one person told Beckham to “just get off,” which seemed to enrage the athlete.

“You’re everything wrong with the world,” Beckham could be heard saying on the video. (RELATED: REPORT: Former NFL Star Peyton Hillis In ICU After Saving His Kids From Drowning)

“Looking at me to get off a plane, for you. I would never, ever in my life get off the plane for you. Specifically you,” he said. “Maybe everybody else, I would get off the plane,” Beckham said.

Beckham continued to berate the passenger in front of the police.

“You gon’ wait 40 minutes and I’m going to be on a private plane home. Yeah, with your fat ass. Get your ass off the plane for a second,” Beckham said.

“Enjoy the cheese board on the way home with your ugly ass,” he said.

Beckham was eventually led off the plane by police. His attorney said the star athlete had simply fallen asleep and claimed a flight attendant blew the situation out of proportion, according to TMZ.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
