A Brazilian plus-size model and influencer were recently seen being booted off a flight of Qatar Airways because she was deemed too fat to travel.
As reported by the Brazilian authorities, the woman is being compensated by the airlines for the mental breakdown she may have suffered for being dubbed too fat to fly.
Sources claim the woman was on her way to Doha from Beirut and that’s when all of a sudden, she had been stopped by the airline’s crew members who claims she was just too large to board and be seated.
“They told me I couldn’t be boarded onto the aircraft because I was too big for my seat. This has never happened to be ever before. I love to fly and travel around the world”- she continued to argue.
Now, she’s accusing Qatar Airways of discriminating against women of bigger sizes and she just thinks that it is so wrong in today’s day and age.
The model and influencer contained to speak about how women come in all shapes and sizes and that it’s sad to see one of the world’s leading airlines behave in this manner.
Juliana Nehme who happens to be a leading social media influencer said during the early part of this year that she had missed her flight because no one let her board. She was absolutely shocked and devastated and it really made her feel so horrible about herself.
Sending out a post to her massive fan following which continues to increase each day, she continued to add how the airline did everything possible to deny her right to travel and that was just not okay.
Hence, she vowed to go to court and fight for her right in Sao Paulo, Brazil. On that note, the court has ordered the airlines to pay for her therapy to compensate for the mental trauma she endured with such hurtful sentiments being thrown her way by the airline.
