A plus-sized model is sharing her story after she was fat shamed for her weight by the passenger next to her on her flight.
Natalie Hage was headed to Los Angeles on an American Airlines flight when the man next to her began making it obvious that he wasn’t thrilled by her presence next to him, Daily Mail online reports.
Hage had paid an additional $70 for extra leg room but soon found herself anxious as her seat was in the middle.
No sooner than she sat down, the man next to her began ‘LOUDLY huffing, sighing, and readjusting himself in his seat’ for more than 20 minutes before the model notices him text furiously while turning the phone away from her. So of course she looked.
‘The texts were about me and i’m almost positive he took photos of me,’ she said in an Instagram post showing photos she had snapped of the alleged conversation.
‘Not only were the texts about me, but they were really mean and ugly, with even the recipient named ‘linda’ chiming back with shaming retorts…someone who can’t even see the situation.’
And while the text in the photos are seemingly difficult to read, Hage does offer some insight as to what they say.
Hage claimed that the man even took up both arms rest and digged his elbows into her side which she said was in her seat.
Hage claims that she even asked the man to her right if they could switch and informed him of the situation but that he just ‘laughed and refused’ which she felt was fine given ‘it’s not his issue’.
‘This is a fat person’s daily reality and not just on a plane. this is on a bus, standing in line at the grocery store, at a concert, on the internet,’ she said.
