Actress Mo'Nique was thrown off a plane after arguing with a flight attendant who the TV star alleges was racist towards her. The disagreement broke out after the 38-year-old's stylist stashed a hair dryer in a first class baggage locker. While the Phat Girlz actress was flying in luxury, her aide was in economy class. The flight attendant allegedly said to Mo'Nique, "Tell your people that the next time they have an attitude, they are being thrown off ... Since 9/11, we don't play around." The spat resulted in the small screen star - full name Mo'Nique Imes-Hicks - being escorted back to Chicago's O'Hare Airport where, according to the actress, a supervisor called local police. Mo'Nique tells the New York Daily News, "I felt like I was being treated like an animal. This happens to black people all the time, and they don't have a voice. It was humiliating." Jean Medina, a spokeswoman for United Airlines, says, "We regret Ms. Imes felt in any way that she was not treated with courtesy and respect. There was a confrontation involving a customer that caused the flight to be delayed. When a situation occurs on a flight that causes a delay, or disruption, we must act in the best interest of all our customers."

That is so ridiculous. She's hardly a star, yet bigger stars have been thrown off plans for the same behaviour. What did she expect?

Of course the plane staff is racist though.

Phat Girlz?

I have never even heard of Mo'Nique.

wtf? not to play any race cards, but im sick of minorities always using that race shit when people are being rude to them. im assuming the flight attendant was white, but if she were black, would monique be singing the same tune? i think not.

And who the fuck is Mo'Nique? Presumably some D-list celebrity..

wow u sound angry. ?
try google next time maybe?

shes a comedian, had her own UPN show and now a beauty pagent for fat grrls on Oh! network.
i think she is hilarious.

I like her too.

I can't say whether I think it United was being racist or not since I wasn't on the plane. It's hard to go by just what the press prints.

the flight attendant should be fired.

I like Mo'nique.

I'm sick of the race thing though.

ahhahaahhaahhahhhahaahah

Exactly.

And when I read it, I thought "your people" meant the skivvy she'd bundled into cattle class.

And didn't the whole thing kick off because she shouldn't have been stashing this hairdryer? So the flight attendant started on her because she was breaking whatever rule. Fair enough, no?

Sounds D-List to me.

Yeah, we all know what "your people" meant(her minions in coach).....she's just throwing a tizzy for desperately needed publicity.

Regardless of her race, no flight attendant should speak that way to anyone. It is unprofessional.

i love her, watch queens of comedy...she's too much!

Well...that's sort of true. But they were the ones breaking flight rules....so the attendent has the right to be annoyed. Anyone would be. And why should she kiss her ass, she probably didn't know who she was anyways! And even if she wants to consider herself 'special' people, that she ain't. Hah.

I think she's funny.....but she's overreacting here.

No I'm not angry. I just have no idea who the hell she is and I couldn't be bothered looking through google. meh whatever

what im sick of is people saying "omgz stop using the race card!"
if she felt that she was being descriminated against or treated rudely by someone because she is black then she has every right to feel that way.

its not like shes known for pulling "the race card" out on a regular basis or something. she aint abusing the race card, k?
you guys sound like assholes.



i really dont know nor care how the celebrity list is made up or what catagory she should be under but thanks for the info.

uh flight attendents should remain professional at all times.
serve the peanuts not the attitude.

Meh.....I disagree.

You should really stop being so defensive of her, it's not like she's your pal.

I watched her interview and laughed. She is so overdramatic. I'm sick of people making everything racial. I think she was being Miss Diva and the airline attendant wasn't having it and wasn't kissing her ass so she wanted to make her pay by pulling out the race card. She said it was because the lady said something like "you have to try to keep your people calmed down" and she took the "your people" as the entire black race. Fuck off man! She's talking about your entourage bitch.
