What happened was I was on a flight earlier um from from DC over here to uh to Florida. This is my connecting flight to go back home to Los Angeles. Okay. And on the connecting flight from DC over here, the same flight attendant was on that previous flight and she was already giving me a problem because she was like talking to another flight attendant in the back and she was already giving me an issue. I had no issue. And then now she was on this flight also and there was animosity there already. I had no problem with this person whatsoever. So that animosity and that previous preconceived notion of me was already there. Now then she told whatever to the flight uh flight attendant or I'll take you later right here to the flight attendant or the or the um this this is my person and this is actually the person who helped me on this flight who helped me figure out my ticket on this flight. So when she was coming to me and telling me to get off of the flight because of the flight attendant and I was some danger, I was like, "What?" Like I was super confused. And then everybody in my section was like, "Just be quiet. Don't say anything like you're good. You're good." And I'm like, "Yeah, I'm good. I think I'm good." And then she comes up to me all of a sudden and she tells me like, "Hey, you have to get off the flight." And I'm like like for for what reason? And she couldn't give me a reason. And I'm like okay. So I start to get off and I'm like are you at least going to give me another flight? And she said yes. And that was that. But then as I was getting off she's like the the the um I don't even know her name, but the girl right there, she was like looking at me and I'm like what is happening? Like I have no idea. Like I have no idea what motivated her to go to um whatever her name is to get me off of that flight. Okay. And that's all. All right. But you did what? As you got off the plane?
