Friday, January 17, 2025 - A flight attendant has reportedly lost her job over a dance video she made while on the job.
Nelle Diala, who was working as a flight attendant with
Alaska Airlines for over six months was reportedly fired from her job after
recording a twerking video while at work, the New York Post reported.
After losing her job for "violating" the airline's
"social media policy", Diala set up a GoFundMe page for financial
support.
The twerking and dancing video was captioned, "ghetto
bih till i D-I-E, don't let the uniform fool you."
After being fired, Diala reposted the twerking video with
the new caption: "Can't even be yourself anymore, without the world being
so sensitive. What's wrong with a little twerk before work, people act like
they never did that before." She added the hashtag #discriminationisreal.
According to Diala's GoFundMe page, she posted the
"lighthearted video" during a layover. The video was shot in an
empty aircraft.
She wrote, "It was a harmless clip that was recorded at
6 am while waiting 2 hours for pilots. I was also celebrating the end of
probation."
"The video went viral overnight, but instead of love
and support, it brought unexpected scrutiny. Although it was a poor decision on
my behalf I didn't think it would cost me my dream job," she added.
The flight attendant also claimed that she was
"wrongfully fired", saying "My employer accused me of
violating their social media policy. I explained that the video wasn't intended
to harm anyone or the company, but they didn't want to listen. Without warning,
they terminated me. No discussion, no chance to defend myself-and no chance for
a thorough and proper investigation."
