The self-proclaimed hottie thinks "Southwest Sucks," even though the airline tossed her for verbally brawling with another passenger. And from the looks of it, she's switching to JetBlue.
Only one problem with that. JetBlue doesn't fly from Tampa to Los Angeles, unless you're willing to do Tampa-JFK-Long Beach. That's a brutal connection to make, even if you're doing it to avoid flight attendants who are jealous of your good looks.
It may have taken a few days, but Southwest Airlines finally has something to say about the latest Girls of Southwest dustup involving self-proclaimed hotties Nisreen Swedberg and Sarah Williams. According to the airline:
We welcome pretty people aboard our flights, we just ask that you leave your bad behavior at home.
Southwest maintains that the girls were cursing and threatening other passengers aboard a recent flight between Tampa and Los Angeles. And once you stop following crew member instructions, it's game over, pretty or not. That's why, says Southwest, the cops got called in to escort the ladies off the plane.
Now that the airline's posted its rebuttal on YouTube, we'll be waiting to hear what Nisreen and Sarah have to say in their own defense. We're listening, ladies!
If you're not young, female and beautiful, you may not realize how awful it can be to fly Southwest Airlines. Seriously! Just ask Nisreen Swedberg and Sarah Williams, two college girls who got escorted off a flight that landed in LA--and banned for life from the low cost carrier.
Sarah thinks she knows what the problem was
I think they were discriminating against us because we were young, decent looking girls, I mean, nobody else on the plane looked like us.
[The flight attendants] were like older ladies. We were younger. Who knows, they could have been just jealous of us because we were younger.
Of course, it could've been the obscenities Sarah was swapping with another passenger. On touchdown in California, four police officers escorted the ladies off the plane at the request of flight attendants.
Southwest was so miffed that they canceled the girls' return flights to Tampa. They must've done something besides be good lookin'--even Kyla didn't get banned for life!
Here's how Kyla Ebbert made it to the top and ended up posing in Playboy. Oh, come on, it was only a matter of time before Kyla Ebbert and Playboy were officially in the same sentence.
That said, here is a a simple how-to for all of the aspiring actresses/actors/models/memes out there.
July: Fly Southwest from San Diego to Tucson in skimpy outfit and get hassled by a guy named Keith.
September 5: Show up in the San Diego newspaper, looking for consumer outrage. Find it.
September 7: Do an interview with Matt Lauer on the Today show. Get scrutinized.
We hope it's our last post about the Girls of Southwest. But we couldn't let Kyla Ebbert ride off into the much overdue sunset without mentioning her stunning Myspace page. She's PrincessKyla on the social networking site.
While she's switched her profile to private, a cached version of her page still lives on thanks to Google. Her lawyer must love the pictures of girls in underwear, the snaps of sexy babes and quotes like "I live for the nights I won't remember with the friends I won't forget." Kyla's got quite a collection of friends: 3,423 in all, including Myspace heroes Tila Tequila and ForBiddeN and pseudo-celebrity/Lauren Conrad "associate" Brody Jenner.
Maybe if Kyla ends up suing Southwest, she can keep us all updated on the case through her Myspace blog!
It was the perfect, post-Labor Day news story: demure young girl gets hassled by a devilish airline employee just for wearing an outfit she's rocked plenty of times before. Who could believe Southwest Airlines wouldn't let her wear what she wanted? That is, until Kyla Ebbert flashed the audience of The Today Show while wearing the skirt in question.
Now Setara Qassim wants her 15 seconds of fame, too: She's decided she was scandalized by Southwest. Her outfit was less revealing than Kyla's but if she was so bothered by the airline's request to cover up, why did she wait til now to mention it? Should these girls be allowed to wear whatever they want? Everyone's got an opinion, even us.
By now we all know about Kyla Ebbert and her Southwest Airlines experience, but like any good reality show, it was only a matter of time before the copy cats came out of the woodwork. Seems like everyone needs their five minutes on Digg these days, does it not?
Back in June, Setara Qassim said she was flying home to Burbank from Las Vegas when a Southwest Airlines flight attendant gave her a blanket and told her to cover up.
Certainly seems like piling on at this point, does it not? There are obviously plenty of reasons the flight attendant could have thought Setara was cold, and since when is offering a woman a blanket offensive?
