‘She said to me: “Did you see a phone in there?” I turned around and said, “No, I didn’t see anything.”
He said the woman then “walked toward him and made a gesture almost as if she was about to pat him down.”
‘She says, “Oh, you don’t have it?” In front of the plane, (she) flat out accuses me of taking her phone,’ she continued.
“At this point, she’s a short woman, so I really bend over, bend over, put my hands on my knees and get down to her level, and I say, ‘Ma’am, are you telling me that I took your phone?’ ? “And then she says, “Oh, no, but she was there.”

TJ explained that throughout their relationship, Amy “witnessed a black man go through the same scenarios but was treated very differently.”
‘I had to be calm. “If there weren’t more people around, I don’t think he would have ducked me or been as assertive as I was,” he added.
‘Because I wouldn’t have a witness (to say) that I wasn’t aggressive towards her or whatever. But it was a wild flying experience.”
The couple said that the stewardess “He apologized profusely” and told them that the lady had “been difficult.”
“That’s something only certain people would be exposed to,” Amy concluded.
