Influencer’s post sparks outrage among flight attendants and viewers
On social media, Tatiana Girardi, an OnlyFans star, has faced backlash for mocking a male flight attendant on a plane.
She was reported to have called the male cabin attendant a ‘weakling’ and ‘limp noodle’ after he refused to lift her suitcase into the overhead bin.
Girardi, a Crossfit athlete with two million Instagram followers, posted a photo of the attendant with a derogatory caption. This sparked significant criticism online.
Girardi shared the photo with a caption claiming she asked the flight attendant for help lifting her suitcase.
When he responded, “Between the two of us…” Girardi reportedly felt sorry for him. She mocked him, saying, “Relax, I can do it myself.” The now-deleted post quickly attracted attention, leading to widespread criticism.
Flight attendant criticized the influencer as sexist
After the incident, Jay Robert, a senior cabin crew member with Emirates, publicly responded to Girardi’s post. He labeled her remarks as “entitled” and “sexist.” Robert explained that the responsibility for lifting the luggage falls on passengers, not flight attendants. He also emphasized that crew members are trained to assist with luggage but should not be expected to lift it alone.
Additionally, Robert revealed the risks of lifting luggage for crew members.
He noted that many crew members have faced career-ending injuries from lifting bags.
At some airlines, injuries sustained while lifting luggage are not covered by medical benefits. Robert stressed that flight attendants are trained to avoid lifting luggage to protect their health and safety.
Additionally, Robert pointed out that Girardi’s comments were not only unfair but also perpetuated harmful gender stereotypes.
He explained that she implied that if a female flight attendant declined to lift her bag, it would be acceptable. However, when a male attendant offers assistance without lifting, he is unfairly labeled as lazy and weak.
Girardi’s post sparked debate among viewers
Girardi’s post sparked online reactions supporting the flight attendant’s actions.
Many commenters agreed with Robert’s position, stating that passengers should be responsible for their own luggage.
One commenter pointed out that passengers often overpack, making it difficult for crew members to handle bags safely.
Others stressed that as an independent person, Girardi should have been more understanding and capable of managing her own suitcase.
One person said: Lift your own luggage or do you have limp noodle that you can’t!
A second wrote: “I’ll just do it myself” Lol ok good “miss CrossFit and tells everyone about it”.
While a third commented: Go lift your legs love. Clearly that’s more your style.
Someone else said: she got hands, she can do it herself, shes so entiled
Another added: Thinks she is above everyone else. Get some manners and stop putting everyone down. Needs an attitude adjustment.
Tatiana Girardi’s post about the flight attendant’s refusal to lift her suitcase has sparked a heated debate about responsibility and gender expectations. While Girardi’s comments were criticized as entitled and sexist, many online users supported the flight attendant’s actions.
