Incident on American Airlines Flight
On January 9, at Miami International Airport, two models associated with the platform OnlyFans were arrested for sitting in first-class seats on an American Airlines flight without appropriate tickets and refusing to relocate when requested. The individuals, Sania Blanchard and Jordan Lantry, known on OnlyFans as Sania Mallery and Lacey Jane, faced misdemeanor trespassing charges after the altercation.
Disruption and Social Media Activity
Reports indicate that Blanchard and Lantry were visibly intoxicated during the incident. They documented parts of their disagreement with airline personnel and police officers on Instagram, even uploading videos where they could be seen arguing vociferously. At one point, confronted by an American Airlines agent about their boarding passes, their response highlighted their intoxicated state.
Post-Arrest Behavior and Merchandise Launch
After being detained and subsequently released from the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Miami, both Blanchard and Lantry leveraged the incident to gain social media traction. They posted their mugshots and mocked the situation, showing no signs of remorse. Following their release, they boarded another flight with the same airline the very next day, continuing to demonstrate a blatant disregard for airline policies.
In a move that capitalized on the event, they introduced a line of merchandise featuring images from their booking. This range includes items such as coffee mugs, openly flaunting their brush with the law.
Public Reaction and Consequences
The event sparked discussions regarding celebrity conduct on social media and the ramifications of such public disturbances. American Airlines has been approached to comment on the incident and the measures taken in response to the passengers' behavior, though a statement has not yet been released.
Both models remain active on various social platforms, garnering significant following and promoting further disruptive actions as part of a trend they wish to set.
