A woman gave a – ahem – spirited performance on a Spirit Airlines flight recently.
Viral footage shows the moment the lady was arrested on the American budget airline plane after an over-the-top ‘cartoonish’ meltdown.
The incident took place on March 23, apparently when the plane was in the process of taking off from Vegas, according to TMZ. It is unclear why the woman was asked to leave or why she began to behave hysterically, but a couple of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police are seen putting one cuff on the unidentified woman as she protests.
“I can walk out on my own. Why are you doing that … Why are you acting like I’m a rascal?” she pleads, flinging her head back with giant eyes.
“All I care about is freedom,” she shouts. Then, when cops tell her she is under arrest, she screams “That’s fine” as she has “been there before”, before wriggling and writhing around in her seat as the slightly amused cops try and peel her away.
Some say her ‘Oscar-winning performance’ rivalled Jim Carrey’s contortionist performance in The Mask, while others asked if it was a Key & Peele skit.
As she repeatedly screams “I can’t breathe,” a reference to George Floyd’s dying words (the African American man who died at the hands of police brutality), the flight attendant is heard over the intercom telling everyone they will need to “deplane the aircraft,” prompting a loud collective groan.

Commenters took to social media to speculate on what could have prompted the outburst.
“That’s a evil spirit in her possession happening right in front of everyone,” one person wrote.
“How did she get past airport security??” another asked.
“This is really sad. I hope she found some help and it comforted her,” wrote another.
The LA cops have not yet divulged what the woman was arrested for, and the budget airline has not put out an official explanation either.
Nobody approached Looney Tunes for comment either.
