Marlon Wayans Demands Compensation After Being Removed from United Flight

  • Marlon Wayans accused United Airlines of "racism and classism" after a dispute with a gate agent resulted in him being removed from his flight.
  • Wayans was told he had too many bags to board and complied by consolidating two bags into one but was still denied boarding and told to check the remaining bag.
  • Wayans proceeded to board the plane but was later removed by security, causing him to miss one of three sold-out shows and be ticketed for disturbing the peace by police.
  • Wayans called his experience "harassment" and is demanding United compensate him for the missed shows and issue an apology.
  • United defended its employee but Wayans maintains he followed their policy and was unfairly targeted.
