A woman caused a commotion at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport by stripping down to her underwear at a Spirit Airlines gate. The incident, which occurred earlier this week, was captured in viral videos shared on social media. The woman, wearing only white underwear, black shoes, and hoop earrings, was seen arguing with a man who tried to return her clothes. A police officer later handed her a black T-shirt, which she put on.
The scene unfolded at gate G12, with bystanders recording the incident on their phones. According to the New York Post, the woman was involved in a heated argument, though the details were unclear from the videos.
This incident is not isolated, as similar events have occurred at other airports. View From The Wing reported that undressing at airports is becoming increasingly common, with past incidents involving naked passengers at TSA checkpoints. Legal rulings have clarified that such actions are not protected by the First Amendment.
The airport has not commented on the incident. A spokesperson with the Broward County Sheriff's Office told The Daily Mail that the woman was not arrested, but was taken from the scene to receive medical treatment.
