<\/p>\n
A woman has shared how she was \u2018shamed\u2019 on a flight after her outfit was deemed \u2018inappropriate\u2019 and \u2018lewd\u2019.<\/p>\n
When Maggi Thorne, 42, flew with Southwest Airlines\u00a0from Orlando to Nashville she had no idea her outfit would provoke such a reaction.<\/p>\n
Maggi, known for being an American Ninja Warrior contestant, said a flight attendant approached her not long after she took her seat<\/p>\n
She wrote on X (formerly Twitter): \u2018[Southwest Airlines] attendant just shamed me in front of passengers saying my attire wasn\u2019t appropriate\u2019. <\/p>\n
Maggi had on a black cropped top with high waisted tracksuit bottoms \u2013 it was hardly scandalous. But she claims she was asked to cover up.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Maggi said: \u2018A tank top and high-waisted pants. Flight 1039. Is this really happening in 2023? The passengers around me were stunned as she shamed me for all to hear.\u2019 <\/p>\n
Of course, people on social media had opinions.<\/p>\n
One person commented: \u2018Put some clothes on. It\u2019s a plane not a gym. The attire should fit the event.\u2019<\/p>\n
Thankfully, most agreed with Maggi \u2013 with one person adding: \u2018That\u2019s absurd \u2013 proud of you for standing your ground Mag!\u2019<\/p>\n
Maggi reportedly refused to put on more clothes, and spoke to another flight attendant. <\/p>\n
\u2018When I told her I wasn\u2019t okay, I don\u2019t think she knew what to do,\u2019 she said. <\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019m not a confrontational person, but what happened isn\u2019t okay and someone should say something about it.\u2019<\/p>\n
Southwest Airlines has since apologised to Maggi, and a complaint has been made on her behalf.<\/p>\n
Maggi told Insider she was shocked to hear her basic outfit was deemed \u2018lewd, obscene, or patently offensive\u2019, according to the airlines guidelines.<\/p>\n
