American track and field star Sha'Carri Richardson was kicked off a flight following an altercation with a flight attendant Saturday.
Richardson, 22, shared a video to her Instagram profile and story in which she claimed the American Airlines flight attendant, who she identifies as 'John', was disrespecting her.
In the clip, Richardson spoke to the camera, alleging that the flight attendant had 'disrespected' her while she was speaking on her phone before takeoff.
It is not the first time Richardson has made headlines for controversy after she tested positive for marijuana in 2021.
She failed a drug test and was handed a subsequent 30-day ban that kept her out of the 100-meter dash at the Tokyo Games.
She later said she only used marijuana to help cope with the death of her biological mother before the Olympic trials in Oregon.
