A Playboy Playmate Says She Was Told By A Southwest Employee She Couldn't Fly Because Her Top Was Too Low
Independent- A woman was left feeling “humiliated” on a Southwest Airlines flight after she claims she was asked to cover up her outfit or face being removed from the plane. Eve J Marie, 26, who was travelling with her seven-year-old son, alleges that she was forced to borrow a flight attendant’s jumper and tie it around her for the entirety of the service from Dallas to Tulsa. The model and influencer detailed her experience in a video shared to social media, saying that she was particularly upset as a frequent flier who spends $90,000 (£69,000) a year with the airline. “I have just landed and I’m so pissed off,” she said. “I’m trying not to let it ruin my day.
“I literally was almost escorted off the airline because of my outfit, which really pissed me off because I had a connecting flight, and nobody said anything on the first flight.” Eve added that she was a “loyal customer”, so much so that she has a Southwest companion pass, meaning people travelling with her can fly for free. “It’s really disappointing when you’re discriminated against because of your outfit,” she said.
The flight attendant, who Eve claimed was “apologetic”, eventually lent her a jumper to cover up her cleavage. After landing, Eve says she contacted Southwest’s head office, which apologised and offered her $100 credit in compensation. She said this wasn’t “enough for the humiliation and discrimination” she endured.
So I guess Southwest apparently has a problem with lowcut shirts, tanks, or blouses considering this is the second story like this we have heard in a month.

I said this in the other blog that was written so well and deserving of your click, but come on Southwest! You can't be the airline that has Royal Rumbles for who sits wear yet also declare war on boobs (breasts for the cultured readers of this blog, tatas for the truly high class). I don't see what the problem is if a woman has cloth covering her nipple, private parts, along with mouth/nose during these crazy corona times.
It's not like Eve was wearing this
or this
or this, this, this, this, this
All of those tops, or lack thereof, would've been a problem for airlines that are trying to keep things at least PG-13. We can't have nipples of any sort popping out because they seem to be the thin round line between organization and chaos. But if it's good enough to fly on Instagram, it's good enough to fly the friendly skies. Hell, Southwest can use that phrase if they want since it beats the hell out of their other one "At least we aren't Spirit". And if you pay almost 100 grand to fly Southwest, or pretty much any airline, you can pop the top whenever the fuck you like once you put your tray table and seat in an upright position. However, Southwest did not seem to agree and forced a paying customer to seek alternative seating options outside of Southwest's restrictive seats.
As someone who used to work in the customer service industry, I find this all completely unacceptable.
