No laughing matter. Marlon Wayans entered a messy dispute with United Airlines, claiming that he was “targeted” by the airline regarding their two-bag policy.
The Scary Movie star, 50, was cited for disturbing the peace at the Denver airport last week, the Associated Press reported on Monday, June 12, after the comedian took to Instagram one day prior to explain his side of the story.
The drama began on Friday, June 9, when Wayans went to consolidate three bags into two, per the airline’s two-bag policy, he explained via Instagram on Sunday, June 11.
“So, United Airlines customer service or corporate hits me up. And I don’t know what kind of corporate culture there is … your customer is always right,” the Air actor began, explaining that he was willing to have the video of the incident replayed in order to prove his point.
“I’m willing to play that video back, put the sound on. This man was wrong, and I was targeted. Period. And then, corporate called me and they defend, ‘Well, you know, there is a two-bag policy.’ ‘Right, and so I took my three bags and I turned them into two,’” the White Chicks actor recalled of the conversation, adding that he was told there was “no more room” on the flight to accommodate any extra bags. “So then why did all those people before me and all these people after me have two bags and three bags? Interesting. Watch the video.”
Wayans captioned the video with another callout to the airline, demanding the incident be “remedied.”
“@united gotta do better. Don’t call me and defend an employee for targeting me,” the A Haunted House star wrote. “This incident needs to be remedied. I ain’t resting until i am compensated correctly for this severe
