Woman calls out Delta Airlines for asking her to cover up 'offensive' attire
Delta Airlines
A US woman claims she was asked to get off the Delta Airlines plane for not wearing a bra. Calling this a discriminatory policy, the woman, Lisa Archbold, is demanding a meeting with Delta Airlines' president.
Archbold, who wore baggy jeans and a loose white T-shirt without a bra, was asked to cover up by a female flight agent who called her attire “offensive” and temporarily escorted her off a flight. The agent told her that airline policy was not to allow passengers dressed in a "revealing” way to travel. The agent said she would let Lisa travel aboard the plane if she wore a jacket over her T-shirt.
Lisa said she had to put on a jacket even though her breasts were not visible. “It felt like a scarlet letter was being attached to me,” she said.
The incident happened in January when Lisa was flying from Salt Lake City to San Francisco. “I felt it was a spectacle aimed at punishing me for not being a woman in the way she thought I should be a woman as she scolded me outside of the plane,” Lisa Archbold, who is a DJ by profession, told reporters in Los Angeles.
Lisa's lawyer, Gloria Allred, said that she had written to Delta on behalf of her client demanding a meeting with the company’s president to discuss the discriminatory policy.

“Male passengers are not required to cover up their T-shirts with a shirt or a jacket. They also do not have to wear a bra to board or remain on a plane, and women should not have to wear one either. Last I checked, the Taliban are not in charge of Delta,” Allred said.
“Neither her breasts nor any other woman’s breasts have ever tried to take over a plane. Breasts are not weapons of war, and it’s not a crime for a woman or girl to have them,” she added.
