Business Woman Removed From Airplane Because Of Controversial Panties

JetBlue Airlines has a lot of explaining to do after a male employee accused a woman of exposing her panties on an airplane…

A New York business woman filed a lawsuit against JetBlue because she was publicly embarrassed, harassed and removed from her flight unnecessarily.

27-year-old Malinda Knowles was flying to Florida on official business when she was rudely interrupted by a male JetBlue employee. As Malinda boarded the plane and took her seat a supervisor approached her and said: “I don’t want to see your panties or anything, but do you have any on?” Knowles said.

In the lawsuit filed in a Manhattan Supreme Court Malinda Knowles said she was wearing dark blue denim jean shorts with a long baggy t-shirt overlapping the shorts. The male supervisor pointed his walkie talkie between her legs in a suggestive manner and publicly humiliated her.

“I didn’t want to show him anything,” says Melinda. “He wanted me to basically show him my crotch. I was completely humiliated. It was vulgar. It was macho. It was rude,” she said.

Malinda, a Financial consultant by trade, was taken to a JFK Airport hangar and asked to lift up her shirt. She showed the employees that she was wearing shorts under her t-shirt and tried to board the plane. Unfortunately, the pilot heard about what happened and refused to travel with her aboard.

JetBlue remains silent in the incident and refuses to release a statement to the press to address the situation.
