Overview
- Holliday says the encounter happened on a United flight from Tampa to Los Angeles after her hip hit the call button as she left the restroom.
- She recounts a roughly 10-minute exchange in which the attendant referenced his sister, described her as Holliday’s size, and said both should lose weight.
- Holliday says she felt frozen and chose not to escalate because she was traveling with her 9-year-old son on his first time flying first class.
- She alleges the attendant later offered her son gummies, saying it would keep him from being tempted.
- Holliday says United apologized to her privately, she asked for sensitivity training and pointed the airline to NAAFA, and reporters say United has not commented publicly.
