Daily Mail shared a video with a detailed caption. “A woman who took a man's iPhone charger on a flight has hit out after being brutally shamed online. “Vanessa identified herself as the woman in the now-viral footage and revealed that she received death threats after the altercation was “taken out of context” and shared on TikTok,” the outlet wrote.

“This charger was found on the floor of an empty flight where we were told to remove all possessions because we didn't know if we would get back on the same flight due to technical issues,” the woman said.

In the video, she explained her side of the story, saying she “could have acted more gracefully,” adding, “But I was really stressed, exhausted, worried about my cat, out of breath… at the airport for eight hours,” only to be recorded and Being yelled at.”

The video prompted people to post various comments. However, most were not convinced by the woman's explanation of the incident.

Social media is not convinced:

One person wrote: “I love how she tries to get it on him by asking for patience and kindness. Don’t take things that don’t belong to you, then no one will be mean and impatient with you.”

Another added: “Someone literally saw you unplug it.” A third added: “Not your charger, just return it.”

A fourth commented: “She should have given it to a flight attendant. Problem solved.”

The incident on the flight

The incident occurred on a JetBlue flight. It first came to light when the man whose device was stolen decided to share a video of his confrontation with the woman on TikTok. The flight crew reportedly offered to call authorities, but the man declined, saying he didn't want to delay an already delayed flight.

The woman took the charger with her when the pilot allowed passengers to disembark and get something to eat after the flight was delayed three times.
