Peter Kobe Nguyen, an Internet personality and a self-described pickleball coach, created a scene that included some social media flexing on board an American Airlines plane after he was caught vaping inside the toilet of the aircraft. Nguyen, in the viral video, accused the air hostess of harassing him by opening the bathroom door on him, and then he went on to say that he has 25,000 followers and they will watch this. Nguyen recorded the video and posted on Instagram claiming that the airhostess put her hands on him but it backfired as his followers told him that he was at fault and was now trying to gain sympathy. “I was actually sitting on the toilet and you were opening the door,” he said in the video. “I don’t care,” the crew member replied. “You can keep saying you’re sorry but I care about all these passengers.”“I have a lawyer, I am a lawyer,” Nguyen said, forcing the airhostess to apologize. Then he threatened to call the police when he landed. In a follow-up post, Nguyen wrote that “American Airlines customer service” had called to tell them they were conducting “internal investigation” of the incident and that “similar instances had happened in the past.”“Justice is about to be served,” he wrote in the caption.American Airlines acknowledged the incident and said: “A customer on American Airlines flight 2860 with service from Phoenix (PHX) to San Francisco (SFO) was removed from the aircraft upon arrival at SFO due to disruptive behavior. We thank our customers for their patience and apologize for any inconvenience.”“The San Francisco Police Department met the flight upon arrival and escorted the customer out of the concourse.”“What a sorry attempt to portray yourself as a victim. Stop Vaping in the airplane, case closed,” the top comment of the Instagram post read. “I have a lawyer. I AM a lawyer” lmao. No dude you play pickleball,” another mocked him. “You should go to federal prison for vaping on a plane and endangering all the passengers on the plane,” a third user wrote.
