As the Trump supporter questioned why she was being ignored, Mullins said the flight attendant had taken everyone's orders before dismissing her.
The flight attendant allegedly told Mullins, "No. I’ll be back for you."
Mullins claimed, "I was the last one to get served. I’m honestly in shock. It’s sad that just happened in America. But so grateful for all the kind people around me saying how awful it was she did that to me. She’s an anomaly. Most people are not like that."

Moreover, Mullins claimed that when she attempted to complain to the airline about the purported incident, she was eventually informed that she needed to make her report online.
Mullins subsequently chose to post a photo of the flight attendant on social media, after which she said she received a call from American Airlines apologizing and confirming that her complaint was being looked into.

Mullins said, "I won’t know what actions they take on her. It could be a ‘Don’t do this again,’ or if she has a history of issues, she could be let go. But I won’t be notified."
Notably, American Airlines informed The New York Post that it had been made aware of the occurrence and was investigating it.
A spokesperson from the Airline said in a statement, "American Airlines strives to provide a positive and welcoming experience to everyone who travels with us. We are investigating the matter, including reaching out to the customer to learn more about her experience."

A person also stated, "I would fire her. No room for being disrespectful with any customer. You are told this in advance during training I'm sure. So no room for leniency," whereas one mentioned, "American needs a serious boycott and that stewardess needs to be fired."
