Videos are circulating of an American Airlines passenger just being generally awful. He curses, argues with flight attendants, threatens other passengers, repeatedly jumps out of his seat, and generally just behaves awfully, but for some reason he is allowed to stay on the aircraft.
The event took place on an Airbus A321. The man, who brags that he’s a “millionaire,” can’t seem to stay seated and verbally attacks other passengers. His colorful language does not go unnoticed and one other passenger shouts back. While he brags about how much money he makes, he complains about the cost of his Starbucks meal, wants a refund from American for some reason, and at one point also demands a phone charger and a free shot.
It’s unclear where the flight is originating, but it is headed to Denver International Airport (DEN). American flies there from seven hubs including Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD), Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Miami International Airport (MIA), Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
I’m not sure how this was allowed to go on for so long and why the flight crew did not remove the man from the flight. He was clearly unfit to fly from his tirade and should not have been allowed to proceed. Some people, including Grok on X, thought the man in the videos was Jeff Nadu (he runs a crime podcast), but he contradicts that above.
Anthony’s Take: I would not have felt comfortable flying with this guy. I’m not sure how the flight crew did not kick him off as he clearly is not listening, is causing a disturbance, and argues extensively with them.

Yikes – another day, another viral ‘passenger from hell’ video. What’s baffling isn’t just the outrageous behavior, but that he wasn’t immediately removed. Airlines need to start putting crew AND respectful passengers first by enforcing zero-tolerance policies. No one should endure this just to get from A to B. ✈️😤
