Sometimes, even the rich and famous can find themselves in the hot seat – or rather, ejected from it. From epic meltdowns to diva demands, it’s hard to believe that some of our favorite stars have been grounded for bad behavior. In this eye-opening countdown, we’re diving into the 15 most shocking incidents of celebrities being forced off their flights.
Mike Tyson
If you were stuck on an airplane with an angry Mike Tyson, you would probably be glad the flight decided to eject him. The boxer appeared to punch another passenger in the face after the passenger requested to have his photo taken with the famous star.
Kate Moss
Evidently, the English Supermodel and businesswoman Kate Moss was already a little drunk when an altercation between herself and members of the flight crew on an Easyjet flight began. The flight attendant allegedly would not serve Kate more alcohol, incurring the wrath of Miss Moss, who got more and more loud and unpleasant until she was escorted out 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.
Dave Chappell
In 2010, Dave Chappell was already under intense scrutiny by the public following rumors that he was having some sort of mental breakdown after the abandonment of his show on Comedy Central. He was on a private jet headed to Ohio when his pilot, noticing Dave’s strange behavior, decided it would be safe to emergency-land in Pittsburgh.
Ivana Trump
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.
Christian Slater
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.
