Air travel is rough right now, for a plethora of reasons. Flights are getting delayed and canceled left and right, leaving many on edge. One woman lost it on a recent American Airlines flight. It is not known at this time what exactly set her off.
Comedian Carrot Top was also on this flight which was scheduled to go from Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas to Orlando, Florida. He praised the airline for handling this situation. The woman claims to have seen imaginary people but the comedian thinks she just wanted attention. Whatever the reason for her disturbance, the plane was delayed several hours.
Carrot Top casually mentions in his Instagram that this whole thing started after the woman lost her earbuds. He also claims that the authorities dealt with her. Other accounts differ.
What is known is the woman was at the back of the plane when she began to freak out. “I’m telling you, I’m getting the [expletive] off and there’s a reason why I’m getting the [expletive] off and everyone can either believe it or they can not believe it,” she ranted.
The woman went on referencing something in the back of the plane that no one else could see. “I don’t give two [expletive], but I am telling you right now, that [expletive] back there is not real,” she continued. Her fellow passengers did not know what she was talking about.
She then took things to a whole other scary level, claiming that her fellow passengers could “sit on this plane and you can die with them or not. I’m not going to.” This was the reason for the plane to be deboarded and searched to ensure everyone’s safety.
Thankfully, her threats were empty. Authorities could find nothing on board the plane that would put anyone in harm's way. The woman exited the plane on her own accord and was not allowed back on. It is unknown at this time if any charges were brought against her.
Beyond sharing planes with women who might need psychiatric help, Carrot Top has been busy performing in his Las Vegas residency since 2005. He now loves performing around 200 shows a year in Sin City, even though he was initially skeptical about taking the gig.
"When I first got the offer to do it, I turned it down. I was like, 'I don't want to be in Vegas. That's where old guys go to die,'" he told Click Orlando in 2020. "Then I took the gig, and I've slowly turned into … I can't imagine not doing this here."
Carrot Top’s contract now extends to 2025. "I definitely didn't imagine I'd have this kind of staying power,” he explained to Las Vegas Magazine. “Vegas crowds are a different kind of audience from what I was used to on the road, where people would come specifically to see me."
"Starting in Vegas, I was the sideshow in a sense,” he went on to say. “If you couldn't get into Cirque [du Soleil], maybe you'd go see Carrot Top. And then I slowly became more comfortable with how to work a Vegas audience, which is people from all over the country and all over the world, really. It's taken years to get it down."
