Here is what i was wearing when @AmericanAir asked me to deplane for a talk. At which point I was asked  to “cover up”. When defending my outfit I was threatened with not getting back on the flight unless I walked down the aisle wrapped in a blanket. #notsofriendlyskies pic.twitter.com/AYQNNriLcq

Dr. Latisha "Tisha" Rowe, who specializes in family medicine in Houston, went viral on Twitter on June 30 after sharing her experience on a flight from Jamaica to Miami.

Rowe claimed that a flight attendant approached her after boarding the aircraft and asked her to deplane. Once outside, she was met by another another attendant who inquired if she had a jacket before explaining that the ensemble she was wearing, a printed strapless romper, was deemed "too distracting" by members of the flight crew.

Rowe alleged she was then told she needed to cover up. If she was not able to find acceptable attire, she and her son would not be allowed to fly.

After the humiliating incident, she took to Twitter to share front and side photos of the outfit she was wearing when the incident occurred taken after landing in the airport bathroom.

Dr. [La]Tisha Rowe, MD is a well-known Texas doctor who has posted videos on social media about health and wellness.

American Airlines has a "contract of carriage" that it requires passengers to agree upon the purchase of tickets. That contract mentions attire, stating, "Dress appropriately; bare feet or offensive clothing aren't allowed." It does not not provide examples or descriptions of clothing that would fall outside those rules.

Regardless, Rowe said on Twitter that she felt her outfit "covered EVERYTHING" and was perfectly acceptable. And while she says she defended her outfit to flight attendants, she told Insider.com she stopped after she saw that her son was fighting back tears, embarrassed.

"My automatic mommy protective mode started," Rowe recalled to the outlet. "I'm like, 'How do I fix it? I don't want to be in this situation. I just, I want this done.'"





To solve the problem, Rowe asked for a blanket that she then tied around her waist. Eventually ,after repeatedly asking to go back on the plane, she claims crew members allowed her to reboard as long as she remained covered for her entire flight.

American doctor and her son were shamed by an attendant.

"I'm disgusted," Rowe wrote on Twitter. "I'm tweeting so I won't cry. Seriously. My heart hurts. … Just before boarding I posted my trip was unforgettable. Now it’s even more unforgettable, but not in a good way."

She added that her son spent the flight in tears, with a blanket over his head.

Eventually American Airlines would apologize to Rowe. They haven't sent the employees involved packing yet. But the company released a statement saying that they will look into the matter.

So do you believe that this was profiling?
