She believes she committed the crime of flying while hot.
An influencer says she felt “judged” after a female passenger asked that her husband be moved because the content creator’s outfit was “too revealing.”
“I was harassed in first class for being too attractive,” Katie Flowers told Jam Press of the violating incident, which allegedly occurred aboard a flight from Las Vegas to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
The “sex guru and relationship coach” frequently shares scintillating body shots for her 313,000 followers on Instagram, but didn’t think her appearance would cause such a stir offline.
Flowers, who was flying in first class, had reportedly been sporting a white playsuit with a plunging neckline and knee-high boots — an outfit she deemed “normal” for an overnight flight.
Unfortunately, her choice of airplane attire quickly landed her in the crosshairs of a fellow flyer, who was worried her hubby would be distracted by the Instagrammer’s “hot” couture.
“Another passenger’s wife requested a seat change for her husband, because she felt my outfit was ‘too revealing’ and drew unwanted attention,” recalled Flowers.
While the passenger didn’t call her out directly, the bombshell claimed a flight attendant alerted her of the complaint, making it clear that the flyer was disturbed by the influencer’s appearance.
Being singled out didn’t sit well with Flowers, who felt the issue wasn’t “wasn’t the clothes” but “the body inside them.”
“I was judged for simply existing with curves,” lamented the content creator, who has appeared in Playboy and Glamour magazine.
She found the incident doubly uncomfortable as other passengers reportedly whispered and stared after she was approached by the crew member.
“I did nothing but board the plane and sit down,” rued Flowers on allegedly getting accused of the crime of being curvaceous in public.
“It’s a form of control disguised as decency,” Flowers declared. “Women are expected to be beautiful – but not too much. To be polished but never too confident.”
The outraged gal added, “If you have curves, if you stand out, and if you’re not accompanied by a man, you become a target.”
Worst of all, this inflight fashion policing mainly comes from other women, per Flowers, who said that the phenomenon’s about “insecurity” rather than “modesty.”
“First class protects me from physical discomfort,” she concluded. “But it doesn’t shield me from social hostility. And that says a lot about the world we live in.”
