Kandi Burruss Says She and Husband Todd Tucker Were Unjustly Kicked Off Airline 'This S--t Is Crazy'

#TravelingWhileBlack strikes again. 
Kandi Burruss Says She and Husband Todd Tucker Were Unjustly Kicked Off Airline 'This S--t Is Crazy'

During their recent travels, Kandi Burruss and her husband Todd Tucker had a rather unfortunate hiccup in their plans: The Real Housewives of Atlanta star recently posted a rant on Instagram detailing an incident when the couple were unjustly removed from the plane while on their way to Hawaii.

“#HawaiianAirlines just kicked us off for no reason,” she captioned a video retelling the incident. “This was so crazy & random! We were sitting in our seat & the gate ticketer came on & asked to see my ticket because it wasn’t showing up in their system. I gave him my ticket but it had our baggage claim checks on the back. “He never brought it back & the plane started rolling off. I asked the flight attendant where was my ticket & told him I needed the baggage claim ticket just in case my bags didn’t make the flight.”

After not receiving her ticket back, Kandi alledges that the pilot ultimately stepped in and asked both Kandi and Todd to exit the plane after “causing commotion.”

He never brought it back & the plane started rolling off. I asked the flight attendant where was my ticket & told him I needed the baggage claim ticket just in case my bags didn't make the flight. The flight attendant left & came back & said the pilot was calling to check & then the next thing I know this lady comes on the plane & said she needed Todd & I to get off the plane because we caused some sort of commotion… 🤔 Really???? I barely said a word to that flight attendant. Everybody sitting around us was like what are they talking about! This shit is crazy.
