Airline shuts down woman who claims she was 'wedged' between 'obese' passengers on flight

An airline shut down a right-wing commentator after she complained she was 'wedged' between two obese passengers on a flight. American political commentator Sydney Watson claims she was "sandwiched" between two "overweight" travellers during a three-hour flight on American Airlines.

She accompanied her crass comments with an image of two of the passenger's arms. The Mirror reports that Watson wrote on Twitter: "I am currently - literally - wedged between two obese people on my flight."

"This is absolutely NOT acceptable or okay. If fat people want to be fat, fine. But it is something else entirely when I'm stuck between you, with your arm rolls on my body, for 3 hours."
