Andie MacDowell has defended herself after complaining she was forced to sit in “tourist class” on a flight.
The 57-year-old, who is well known for her role in Four Weddings and a Funeral, took to Twitter to protest after being bumped down from first-class to economy.
Accompanied by her pet Chihuahua, MacDowell directed her tweet at American Airlines.
She subsequently received a barrage of criticism on social media.
But the American actress rushed to defend herself.
“I'm very happy flying in coach I'm happy on a bus or the subway but if I play for first class, that's where I want to be, that was the point,” the Groundhog Day star wrote on Twitter.
“Lord honey hate on me if it pleases you, I paid for a flight to volunteer for literacy & didn't get what I paid for," she added.
MacDowell continued by summing up the lessons she had learned from the saga.
"Lessons learned never, complain on Twitter & don't pay for first class on American Airlines, only express gratitude...can we move on now".
