American Airlines has apologized to a woman who says she was humiliated after being told she couldn't fly unless she covered up her romper.
Latisha"Tisha" Rowe said she and her son were boarding a flight from Kingston, Jamaica, to Miami, Florida, on June 30 when an airline employee asked them to step off the plane to talk, her attorney, Geoffrey Berg, told CNN. Rowe was told that she would not be allowed to fly unless she covered herself, Berg said. Her thighs and arms were exposed in the strapless romper.Rowe said the employee asked if she had a jacket, and ended up giving her a blanket to wrap around herself, Berg said.
— Tisha Rowe MD, MBA July 1, 2019 "My shorts covered EVERYTHING but apparently was too distracting to enter the plane," she said in a separate tweet.Rowe, who identifies as black, said black women face a double standard."We are policed for being black. Our bodies are over sexualized as women and we must ADJUST to make everyone around us comfortable. I've seen white women with much shorter shorts board a plane without a blink of an eye.
