Bebe Rexha has shared on social media about she faced threats and was denied boarding a flight in Germany after conversing with a security officer in Albanian.
On August 17, she posted a heartfelt video on her Instagram story, recounting the incident and mentioning the airline Lufthansa. In the video, an emotional Rexha expressed to her followers that she was not permitted to pass through security and described her experience as a “hate crime.”
”I’ve been threatened because I thought the security agent was Albanian. I spoke to him in Albanian asking where to get my ticket and now he is banning me from the flight,” captioned a video of herself sobbing at Munich International Airport in Germany.
In another story, she wrote, ”I believe this to be a hate crime because I am Albanian. He would not let me take his name. He continued to mentally abuse me to make me feel like he was more powerful [than] he was.
“Not one of the women at @Lufthansa stepped in or said something. He would not give me his name. But I just found out he works for ATSG a service company document control hired by Lufthansa.”
Rexha shared a message from her mother urging for the singer’s safe return home and called on Munich Airport to “look into the actions of the male officer who intimidated a [woman]” for conversing in Albanian. Following the viral spread of her Instagram posts, she was met with an overwhelming wave of support and affection.
After her Instagram posts went viral, she received an outpouring of love and support from her fans. One user wrote, ”This girl is always being mistreated or being disrespected… Bebe Rexha deserves sm more people need to start respecting her.”
Another commented, ”She literally does nothing wrong and is constantly going through it, wishing her nothing but peace for the future.” A third said, ”this woman bothers nobody… LEAVE HER ALONE.” A fourth added, ”That security agent is racist and should be fired.”
