An “Instagram famous” woman, who’s been identified as influencer Morgan Osman, was caught on camera arguing with passengers on an airplane while removing her luggage from the overhead compartment.

It is currently unknown how this incident started, or why she was removing her luggage and verbally fighting with fellow passengers.

The footage was filmed on an American Airlines flight, according to the Daily Mail. In a 20-second video clip posted onto X, the woman can be seen arguing with another person who is standing in the aisle.

“Call me a b**** again,” she says, as the passenger filming her laughs at the verbal flight unfolding in front of a seated audience.

“Call me a b***** again, I did nothing wrong!” the woman says as she grabs her luggage.

Someone off camera tells her to shut up, to which she responds: “No you shut the f*** up! You shut the f*** up, and your b****.”

The woman then turns to walk down the aisle towards the front of the plane and spots the passenger filing her. “Film me,” she says to the passenger “I’m Instagram famous, you f***ing bum.”

After the video went viral on X, formerly known as Twitter, Morgan Osman has identified herself as the passenger on the plane. The influencer, who has more than 981,000 followers on Instagram, previously starred in the hit reality show, Bad Girls Clubs. Back in 2017, she also alleged that she was having an affair with Sam Asghari, while he was still married to now ex-wife Britney Spears.

On her Instagram Story, Osman has now reposted articles about the plane incident. For example, when she reshared a post from Hollywood Unlocked, she made some clarifications about what happened on the plane. “I didn’t get kicked off [the plane],” she wrote. “I asked leave instead of turning violent. Thank you.”

She also poked fun at her celebrity status after the incident by sharing a photo of herself and her ex, German fashion designer Philipp Plein.

“Don’t act like y’all don’t know who tf I am,” she wrote. “From Bad Girls Club to the south of France with billboards all over LA. Come on now.”

As Osman’s identified herself as the viral plane passenger, people are also comparing speech to another plane screaming match that happened in early July. During another American Airlines flight, a woman screamed at rows of passengers, and claimed that the person she was sitting next to was “not real”.

Tiffany Gomas, who was demanding to get off the plane, later apologised for her airplane meltdown and behaviour which she described as her “very worst moment.”

It is unclear when this argument happened, yet news of it comes after another incident on an American Airlines flight on 2 September where a teenage girl was surreptitiously filmed while she used a plane bathroom by a male flight attendant. The attendant was removed by Massachusetts State Police after they found a phone strapped to the toilet seat.
