Alec Baldwin Kicked Off Plane For Using iPhone

Alec Baldwin was thrown off an American Airlines flight in LA yesterday after getting in a dispute over turning off his iPhone.

“He was beating the walls of the lavatory to the point that the captain called us to see what that was about. They heard it in the cockpit,” said one of the crew members on board. “He was asked five times. Everybody is the same. Everyone has to follow the rules, it doesn’t matter who you are. He was violent, abusive and aggressive.”

The actor took to Twitter and said, “Flight attendant on American [Airlines] reamed me out 4 playing WORDS W FRIENDS while we sat at the gate, not moving.” He the added a insult directed at the woman, “Last flight w American. Where retired Catholic school gym teachers from the 1950’s find jobs as flight attendants.”

Ex-boxer Oscar de la Hoya was also on the American Airlines flight. He defended baldwin saying, “I didn’t think there was a problem,” de la Hoya said. “I actually felt Alec Baldwin was turning off his devices . . . and he just got a little angry, that’s about it.”

Baldwin was caught a later AA flight to New York and had no other incidents.
