Video posted on TikTok shows an entire plane of Southwest Airline customers applauding the removal of a woman accused of violating federal mask rules.
In the clip posted last week, a woman can be seen a few rows in front of the camera arguing with the flight crew about refusing to wear her mask.
“You better get out,” a man mumbles in the background while the woman, wearing a mask in the clip, hysterically denies refusing to cover her face.
“You say I disobeyed and put on my mask when you asked?” she asks another person, who is not visible to the camera. “Are you really telling them I didn’t put my mask on when you asked?”
“You! Its! A liar,” she shouts – but is soon drowned out by booing and ‘goodbye’ shouts from the passengers.
“Get off the plane” someone shouts. When the woman gets up to leave, the audience applauds. She throws them with the middle finger in response before disembarking with a male companion.
“I hope you’re single, buddy!” one of the men on the plane shouts.
After the woman leaves, another woman emerges from the back where the flight attendants had been – and does a little dance.
The video was posted five days ago by user B_elder56 with the caption #karen.
A Southwest spokesperson said the airline could not provide information about the situation without knowing the date and flight number.
