Kaley Cuoco reveals the moment she wanted to 'strangle' a woman for judging her parenting on daughter's first plane ride
LOS ANGELES: Kaley Cuoco was at the edge of her seat during her first-ever flight with a nine-month-old baby.
The actress made an appearance on the ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ show on Monday, January 8, and opened up about the experience. “It was our first flight ever with this baby, which is terrifying. We were very terrified,” the star said.
“I thought, ‘What do we do? We have to bring her sound machine on the plane. It’s the only thing she can go to sleep to.”

That’s when a woman openly judged her and her boyfriend Tom Pelphrey’s parenting, which made her wanting to ‘strangle’ her.
The baby didn’t like the plane ride, “so she’s crying. It was hard,” the 38-year-old said, adding “She finally falls asleep and the sound machine is on and we were finally like [sighs].”
Only then a flight attendant walked-in and told her that another passenger didn’t want the sound machine and asked to turn it off.
“I’m sitting there like, ‘Oh, my god,'” Kaley remembered.
“I can feel Tom be like, ‘Hey, ask the passenger if she wants to hold our screaming child when we turn it [off],'” she said, adding “The ice went into his veins.”

Cuoco shared the conversation she had with the complainant. “It was the woman right in front of us [who complained],” Cuoco continued.
“The lady turns around and goes, ‘Oh, so your daughter does know how to smile,'” she said. This got the audience gasping in surprise, reports PageSix.
“It was in that moment where I understood why women end up on ‘Dateline,'” Cuoco quipped, adding “I could have strangled [her]. … I could’ve thrown that woman off the plane.”

“You see all these things on social media where people are really, truly getting mad at these babies,” Kaley reflected.
“Like, justice for babies!” she joked, adding “This is ridiculous … leave them alone!”
Cuoco and Pelphrey welcomed their little angel on March 30, 2023, soon after they began dating. “Tom came along, and something changed,” she told Emmy magazine earlier.
