A video of a young Black passenger traveling on American Airlines is taking the internet by storm, and folks are saying he’s justified. Osaac Summer was captured on video going off on a family while boarding a flight, and now he’s addressing what went down.
In a viral TikTok posted on July 6, Summer can be heard scolding a family who let their kid take his $300 seat without asking him first. “Stay in your lane and in your seat,” Summer told the family in the clip. He is seen putting his carry on in the overhead bin as he demanded his seat back from the family.
“I don’t care about your daughter, your child and none of that. I paid for this one,” Summer declared. The family, according to the flyer, tried to move him to a middle seat or a window seat, which he declined.
Summer, who stands at 6-foot-2 per the New York Post, intentionally booked the aisle seat so he could fly comfortably. He responded to the incident in a six-minute video on TikTok after it made its rounds online on July 11.
“If you know me, then you know that that wasn’t me going off,” Summer said. “That wasn’t me crashing out at anything like that.” He went on to say how he’s not “the bad guy” before saying the unidentified family took his seat without asking for permission. He said he remembered that it was midnight and he “just want to sit down and get on a plane and go. That’s it.”
He recalled how he got “on the plane [and] I’m telling the lady, I’m like, ‘Ma’am, I really don’t want to take the seat from you and your child, but next time it would be the best thing to ask before taking a seat.”
