Liam Payne 'kicks off at airline staff' when flight is delayed by bomb threat
Quote:
The One Direction singer is said to have kicked off at airline staff after his flight home from the British Virgin Islands was delayed by a bomb threat.
Fellow passengers watched in horror as the 20-year-old started “swearing up a storm” after being told there was a four-hour delay on his flight from Puerto Rico to Philadelphia.
After an idyllic week in the five-star Falcon’s Nest Villa resort on Peter Island, he was in a hurry to get home for girlfriend Sophia’s birthday.
But things turned sour when US Airways flight 770 was grounded.
A source said: “Liam was livid. He was tired and grumpy, and just wanted to get home because it was his girlfriend’s birthday. He snapped at officials and started swearing. Everyone was quite taken aback.”
The source added: “He apologized soon after. He didn’t mean any offense.”
But a fellow passenger and 1D fan was not ready to forgive him. Disgusted Brooklyn Willes claimed Liam refused to smile for a fan photo of them together.
She tweeted: “I love One Direction... but for him to act like a complete jerk because of a flight that was delayed due to a bomb threat?!?"
“Every single person on that plane has to deal with this too... we all are trying to find flights and get home. And he was swearing up a storm. He was a nobody three years ago..."
