An OnlyFans model has spoken of her humiliation after being forced to cover up because her crop top was “too small” to fly in.
Earlier this week, Isabelle Eleanore from Australia, who is also an Instagram model, was on a Jetstar flight from Gold Coast to Melbourne.
The 28-year-old boarded the flight in a pair of ripped jeans and a black crop top – an outfit that a flight attendant informed her was inappropriate attire.
"She looked at the ticket and then looked up and said 'oh, do you have a jumper you can wear?' and then here's me thinking she must be concerned I'm going to get cold on the flight, it's going to be cold in Melbourne or something," Eleanore told 9News.
"She kept going and she was like 'well, you can't fly with what you're wearing, you can't wear a bikini. And I'm like 'look - it's not a bikini, it's a top.'"
Eleanore told the outlet that that incident had made her feel "victimized and degraded" especially as the flight attendant had called on other crew members to search for items of clothing that the model could use to cover up.
The flight attendant also asked Eleanore's husband, Jeremy Szwarcbord, if he had anything he could lend his wife for the duration of the flight or whether they had any spare items in their carry-on luggage.
The couple told staff that they did not have any other clothing that Eleanore could wear and so the flight attendant felt the best way to resolve the situation was to have her wear a high-vis vest.
The passenger recalled feeling embarrassed as she walked down the aisle and back to her seat wearing the high-vis jacket.
"She made us stand aside while she called the rest of the flight deck and the captains at the front looking for something to cover me up with so that I could fly," Eleanore said.
"I didn't think I'd have to deal with something like that - it's 2021, I should be able to wear what I want to wear."
Eleanore also filmed the moment the flight attendant handed her the jacket, per 9News.
"I didn't know how to deal with it and I didn't want to get kicked off the flight so I was like I'm just going to do what she says." Eleanore said.
She also clarified that despite speaking to several members of Jetstar staff before getting on the plane, none of them had flagged her outfit as inappropriate attire.
A spokesperson for Jetstar has said that the airline has apologized to Eleanore.
"We've contacted Isabelle about her recent experience and have apologized for the way the situation was handled," the spokesperson said. "There was a misunderstanding of what our policy was, and we have reminded our crew of our dress requirements.”
