Another Karen was spotted recently and caught on camera as she refused to wear a face mask amid the COVID-19 pandemic while trying to board an airplane.
Woman Kicked Out of American Airlines Flight
In a report by the Daily Mail, the video was caught by Jordan Slade, a passenger of an American Airlines flight from Ohio to Carolina on July 19, showing an unnamed Karen who refused to wear any sort of face covering, which goes against the airline's flight guidelines.
According to Slade, the woman claimed she could not wear a face mask due to a medical condition.
Nevertheless, the airline remained adamant that all their passengers should wear a face mask or any sort of face covering to help prevent the further spread of the COVID-19, but Karen was indignant and refused to wear one.
Based on the report, a fellow passenger has already confronted the woman and called her out for not wearing a mask, which could put all the passengers at risk of getting the virus.
The Viral Video
In the video, two masked American Airlines employees could be seen heading to the plane to pull the woman off from the flight and escort her out of the plane as she continued to refuse to wear a mask.
She could be seen gathering three giant bags, while the other passengers erupted in cheers and applause, to which she replied, "You can clap all you want."
But apparently, refusing to wear a face mask was not the only thing she has done.
Slade also said that the woman has been argumentative since they were on the gate, demanding that she should board first and "was causing an obvious scene."
"Once boarded, she was making phone calls and arguing with the attendant when asked to put her phone away," the American Airlines passenger continued.
The video was uploaded on Slade's TikTok and instantly gained traction.
Disrupting the Flight's Schedule
According to the passenger, she recorded the incident because it was taking too much time that after the Karen was pulled out of the flight, the plane had to return to the airport to refuel.
There was even one passenger from the back of the plane that went forward while the woman was being escorted, telling an attendant that she would be missing her connection due to the incident that clearly disrupted the plane's schedule.
As the video went viral, people quickly commented about the woman's behavior, slamming her for refusal to follow the strict COVID-19 guidelines set by the airlines.
There was even one comment asking why she bothered paying for a plane ticket when she refused to follow the rules, forfeiting her seat, while another comment asked why she was allowed to board in the first place, especially as she had three giant bags for a small express jet.
The American Airlines will fully instate the new policy requiring all passengers, except children two years old and below, to wear a face covering when they board the plane.
The new policy will be in full effect starting July 29.
