TMZ is reporting that “Straight Outta Compton” star Jason Mitchell, who played Eazy-E, had a meltdown on a Delta flight and was arrested and detained by local authorities. There are two separate videos. The first shows Mitchell in his seat getting into an argument with a passenger in the row in front of him. Things quickly escalate in the second video and Mitchell is seen getting into a profanity laced tirade in which he threatens to slap various members of the flight crew.
Travel is stressful and often brings out the worst in people. Mitchell clearly has something else going on in his life and his inability to travel in the manner he wanted to triggered a reaction. According to Delta, Mitchell missed his original flight — for which he had a first class seat — and was flying standby. When flying standby there is no guarantee you get the same class level seat. Regardless, Mitchell acted extremely inappropriately and is lucky charges weren’t filed.
