She Was Sitting Next To A Real Jerk On The Airplane, Then She Heard A Voice From Behind Her….

Many suffer from body-shaming but one woman has just claimed that she had to endure it while on a plane.

While there are people who are aware that a woman is always more than meets the eye, there are still folks who don’t know about this. They occasionally victimized women around them through harsh words and disrespectful behavior.

This is exactly what happened to Savannah Phillips, a mom from Chicago. The “nightmare” she encountered took place during her flight back to Chicago from Oklahoma City.

Phillips was on a United flight from Oklahoma to Chicago when a total doucheface who called himself a comedian decided to talk sh*t about her over text.

“I’m not the biggest person on the airplane, but I’m not the smallest. My worst nightmare is someone being uncomfortable because they have to sit next to me,” Phillips explained on Facebook:

My seat was assigned at the gate, and when we boarded I was sitting next to an older guy who said he was a comedian. He looked like he was in his 60s and had on bright yellow sunglasses. He stood up so I could get into my seat next to the window. As soon as I got buckled, he sat back down. The flight attendant started the safety speech and he got his phone out (with huge font and the screen brightness turned all the way up). His phone was maybe 12 inches from my face and he proceeded to text someone that he was sitting next to “a smelly fatty.”

Phillips did not read the rest of the conversation. She turned away from her neighbor, feeling “shocked and it was like confirmation of the negative things I think about myself on a daily basis.”

Phillips turned away from the man and began to cry.

Before I knew it, I could feel hot, salty tears coming down my face,” she wrote. “I sat and cried silently, hoping this guy didn’t try to make small talk, because I didn’t trust how I would react and I didn’t want to get kicked off the plane. I was so hurt.”

To make matters worse, the pilot shared some bad news with the passengers. Their flight was delayed.

As she continued to sob, someone from behind tapped her seatmate’s shoulder.

“Hey–I need to talk to you,” she recalled the person, later identified as Chase Irwin, saying. “We are switching seats. Now.”

After some words were exchanged the men changed seats.

Once Irwin was seated next to Phillips, the two chatted so that Phillips would forget her previous rude seatmate. It worked.

“I told him that he was a blessing sent to me and how thankful I was that he was there,” she wrote.

Although Phillips’s post on Facebook received thousands of interactions, Irwin insisted he didn’t intervene for the fame.

“I was going to wait until the end of the flight to say something but I could not have this guy sit next to her this whole flight and her thinking he’s making fun of her,” Irwin told WTVF. “It really gets to me deep down when I see someone crying, and when I saw her crying it really hit me hard and actually got sick to my stomach.”

When her story went viral, she found out the Good Samaritan was Chase who works for Whiskey Row in Nashville.
