A holidaymaker claims she had homophobic insults hurled at her on board a Ryanair flight by a group of men while airline staff looked on.
Furious Laura Muldoon took to Twitter this afternoon and posted a photograph of the men she claimed called her a ‘miserable b***h’ and ‘lesbo’ on the flight.
Ms Muldoon, who works as the social media manager at the Museum of London, sarcastically tweeted: “First holiday snap! Of this bunch of lads who chanted that I was a “miserable b*tch”, “dyke” and “lesbo” (very well observed!) on @Ryanair flight 12.27 from Stansted to Seville today.
“Oh yeah, flight crew did nothing. #holidayvibes #outofofficeon #rainontheplane.”
Following her complaint, Ryanair contacted her publicly on Twitter to ask if she could send more information via a form.
Her tweet has since had thousands of retweets and 'likes'.
She was also flooded with messages of support following the alleged incident.
Rev Raymond Baudon said: “I’m so sorry this has happened to you. If you feel able to please consider reporting them to the police.
“With the passenger list and that photo there’s a good chance the police will be able to ID them. I reported a homophobic threat recently and they took it v seriously.”
Lucy added: “I'm so sorry this happened to you, you shouldn't have to spend the whole flight being abused by a bunch of lowlives.
"Shame on you Ryanair for putting up with blatant hate speech and rowdiness on your plane. Staff should have a zero tolerance policy for this.”
Alex Valk added: “Well done for calling this out Laura. How absolutely disgusting. Hope you have a brilliant rest of your holiday and get a LOT of compensation.”
And Christ blasted: “This should be a simple procedure for Ryanair to identify these pond life.
“Name and shame them, there are too many of these creatures spoiling other people’s enjoyment.”
Ryanair has been contacted for comment.
