If you happened to find yourself trapped on an airplane with an enraged Mike Tyson, you would likely feel relieved if the flight authorities made the decision to remove him. In a rather distressing incident, the renowned boxer seemingly struck another passenger in the face when the passenger asked for a photo opportunity with the famous celebrity.

Reportedly, the famous English supermodel and businesswoman Kate Moss had already consumed alcohol prior to an altercation that unfolded between her and the flight crew during an Easyjet flight. Allegedly, the flight attendant refused to serve Kate further drinks, which provoked her anger. As the situation escalated, Miss Moss became increasingly loud and unpleasant, ultimately resulting in her being escorted off the flight in 2015.

Alec Baldwin

Alec Baldwin was kicked off a flight by American Airlines in 2011. Evidently, he did not want to turn off his cell phone because he was in the middle of a game of “Words With Friends.” 

When the attendant insisted Baldwin turn off the phone for takeoff, Baldwin stormed over to the bathroom and locked himself in, irritated by what he claimed was the rude nature of the attendant’s request. Takeoff was canceled so Baldwin could be safely escorted off the plane.

In 2010, Dave Chappelle was facing considerable public scrutiny due to rumors surrounding a potential mental breakdown following the abrupt end of his show on Comedy Central. While aboard a private jet en route to Ohio, the pilot observed unusual behavior from Dave and made the decision to perform an emergency landing in Pittsburgh, prioritizing the safety of everyone onboard.

The former wife of former President Donald Trump was ejected from a flight in the Florida airport after losing her temper with a gang of kids who would not stop running inside the plane. Ivana Trump reportedly cursed out the kids, then Palm Beach Officers came and escorted her off the scene.

Star of the 90s, Christian Slater, was on a Delta Flight when he was found to be carrying a gun. Not just any gun, either: he had a 9-millimeter pistol, completely unlicensed, in his carry-on bag! He was sentenced to community service after being removed from the plane. 

Naomi Campbell

Naomi Campbell was already famous for having a bad temper when she was taken off a British Airways flight in 2008. She was furious when one of her bags was found missing, and her screaming caused the police to handcuff her and take her to the station instead of leaving her on the plane.

Kevin Smith

Kevin Smith was once taken off a flight in 2010 because he was too overweight. Unfortunately, Kevin Smith had paid for just one seat on a standby flight instead of his usual two, and the flight attendants decided it wouldn’t be comfortable for the nearby passengers.

Needless to say, Kevin Smith was offended and would not fly Southwest again for another six years.

Josh Duhamel

Another celebrity booted from a flight in 2020 was Josh Duhamel, who would not turn off his phone before the plane took off. He even went so far as to mock flight attendants until he was removed.

Gerard Depardieu

Gerard Depardieu had already drank more than one full bottle of wine in 2011 before boarding a CityJet Flight. He desperately needed to use the restroom, but flight attendants warned him this would not be possible until after the plane took off. 

Nevertheless, Gerard couldn’t hold it and tried to pee into a bottle in the back of the plane. Unfortunately, this caused a mess and then caused Depardieu to be ordered off the plane.

Mo’Nique

Back in 2006, Mo’Nique was taken off a United Airlines flight as the celebrity’s hairdresser was hoping to store her hair dryer in the overhead compartment in first class. This prompted a reprimand from a flight attendant, and when Mo’Nique argued, believing herself to be racially profiled, she was taken off of the plane.

Courtney Love

The musician Courtney Love was forced to leave a Virgin Atlantic Flight because she refused to sit down and additionally would not stop screaming coarse insults at the crew and passengers. She was forcibly removed from the airplane as soon as it landed.

Soulja Boy

One of the fastest ways to get yourself kicked off of an airplane, even if you’re a celebrity, is refusing to simply put on your seatbelt and sit down when a flight attendant asks you to. This is what happened to Soulja Boy in 2013 when he refused to follow instructions.

David Hasselhoff

It’s sad for fans of Hasselhoff to learn that he was banned from a British Airways flight after drinking too much in 2006.
