Tamar Braxton’s sister scolds the Airlines

Tamar Braxton’s sister Towanda Braxton was extremely angry when she learned about the happening from her sister. She used social media to put her thoughts on it. Braxton posted a video and also accused the airline people and the management of harassing her sister. She had hashtagged it as:

#FlyingWhileBlack

She also tweeted about the ordeal and wrote:

Tamar Braxton’s initial reaction

Tamar Braxton initially was seemingly quite forgiving. She had told TMZ:

“It’s not even really the company. Sometimes you hire bad people … you just gotta get rid of the bad people, It doesn’t mean the company is bad.”

Tamar also felt that the behavior of the staff towards her was bad because of the way she is portrayed on reality TV. She added:

“Because of what people perceived on television is why I was targeted in the first place, and that wasn’t really fair because I did nothing but sit in my seat and put my seatbelt on and try to get home to my son. I was targeted because of how someone felt I acted on television or whatever…I treat everyone with respect … It’s unfortunate that that happened. I’m still a customer. Like I said, the company isn’t bad.”

Tamar has a different emotional reaction now

But now Tamar put up a long tweet in which she accused the pilot of calling her the N-word. She wrote:

“Well @Delta I think we BOTH know that is not what happened that day. I did absolutely NOTHING wrong. You let your flight attendant harass me… Embarrass me, when all I did was sit in my chair NEVER got up, NEVER requested to leave the plane and was asked by the BLACK attendant to “tell her to take off her blanket “after doing so, the question was ” are you willing to comply to the rules of this plane?” Never, Ever had an incident before, and trying to sleep would confuse ANYONE. I then said “of course” what’s the issue?”

She continued to narrate:

“That’s not what I asked you”. “It’s a yes or no question?”. I AGAIN responded ” “yes, of course,” did I do something? She then looked at my manager, and asked her, “are you recording this?” She says ” yes, because this is crazy, She then said ” ok.” And got the pilot.& LIED as if something REALLY happened. AGAIN, I was asked to remove my blanket, now the ENTIRE plane eyes are on ME. Now the pilot who later Using the term “you people”, acting out of order and further harasses and escalates the situation by not knowing what really happened. I cried and was shaking the entire 3 hours because I felt belittled and mistreated and let’s be honest humiliated.”

Tamar further stated that the attendant had come back and apologized, that is what Tamar felt at first.

“The head flight attendant later came and apologies & says that the first attendant was wrong & so was her report and if there was ANYTHING she can do, she would help. That is when my manager said yes, she needs an apology ( which I NEVER received) she’s been upset this entire flight. The attendant came back 2 mins later and said the pilot would like to chat after we land. Will you leave the plane last? My manager says sure. Well we should have left because what he then said and DID was worse. I go to the cockpit for what I think is going to be a heartfelt I’m sorry. I thought you were the one who was trying to get off the plane story, It turned into “I asked her to go and see if you were drunk or high. Because In my experience “you people” put blankets over your head. after he quickly saw that my manager was taping he says “what the fuck are you Doing?!! Are you trying to start shit and put this on social media? “You people”do this all the time. I told him “at this point, you can keep your apology. The way you talked to me was hurtful and disrespectful and that I was just trying to get to my kid.” He said ” I don’t know who you think you are, but “you people” do this all the time. And run into my manager Who was talking to the attendant. He says while dropping his briefcase and undoing his tie, and is chest to chest with her says, you trying To put me on tape?” You people” are always trying to start some shit. As if he was going to fight HER!! She says ” I did put you on tape and What do you think you are doing?” The co pilot said “oh man” don’t do this”! Let’s go. The flight attendant shouted “what are you doing! The pilot picked up his bag walked past me and said “this is what these niggers do” they are all the same,”

Tamar continued to post:

“I was in total shock. But more Upset that this was all started by the black flight attendant who watches way to much television. She had absolutely pre judged me, because Of what she “thought” that she knew about me. She lied on me and said I was trying to deplane when it wasn’t me AT ALL. I NEVER got up after I got on the plane. I NEVER gave ANYONE a reason to question me or my conduct. She didn’t kno my flying history but took all of my rights As a costumer away just by noticing who I was & decided to treat me like I was hostile and in friendly. But what is more devistating Is your pilot that is a racist.And while that seems to be tolerated in this country lately,I never thought that I would feel like I was Spat on. It is very scary to have a pilot with that type of rage. With that kind of temper and horror that I witnessed. Who’s to say? That if he ever had a bad day, and was flying a plane what he would do to hundreds of innocent passengers. That is my concern It’s not About the public apology that I deserve especially after lying on me in your statement. It’s about making sure that your employees ALL of them, are willing to leave how they feel about celebrities and black people at home, and do their job. I still support delta However, the way that this was all handled was completely wrong.”

It is difficult to know nowadays what is in store for you when you fly.
