  • Sara Blake Cheek, a former Playboy Playmate and sports analyst, alleged mistreatment by an American Airlines flight attendant over her attire.
  • She claimed the attendant told her to 'button up' her shirt before boarding a flight from Atlanta, despite her wearing a crop top under a flannel and other passengers in similar outfits not being addressed.
  • Cheek, who shared photos of her outfit on X, questioned the airline's dress code, suggesting it was unfairly applied to her.
  • American Airlines responded to her post on X, apologizing for the incident and stating they would investigate the matter internally with crew leadership.
