Comedian Jess Hilarious under fire for allegedly getting 4 Sikh men in turbans removed from her plane because she felt 'threatened'
This morning, I happened to be on Twitter and saw Jess Hilarious was trending and thought: 'what the hell she do?!'
But, Jess isn't trending for anything that's good.
The Baltimore native is currently getting dragged on social media for a video she posted (and later deleted) where she made comments about four bearded Sikh men in turbans to her millions of social media followers.
While her plane was waiting for takeoff, Jess said that the men made her "nervous" because of their appearance and she also later said she felt "threatened."
A day after Muslims were ambushed and murdered while praying (death toll now at 51), Jess Hilarious hops on Al Gore’s internet to brag about+defend getting 4 people with turbans kicked off a flight because she didn’t feel safe.— Candice Marie Benbow (@CandiceBenbow) March 17, 2019
After Jess posted her video, the men were reportedly removed from her flight.
Jess later apologized for her comments and said she was wrong for profiling the men.

On Friday, two white supremacists opened fire inside a New Zealand Mosque and killed 50 Muslims and left many injured.
Jess has been under fire before for using homophobic slurs towards gay men and she was also criticized for dating Kountry Wayne who is reportedly married.

Who is this Jess Hilarious who got 4 Sikh men kicked off an airplane because she is afraid of Muslims? One day after 50 Muslims were slaughtered while praying? I mean...I know people aren’t embarrassed to be hateful in public anymore...but is nobody embarrassed to be stupid?— Lexi Alexander (@Lexialex) March 17, 2019

They shoulda asked @jess_hilarious to take off her head wrap. Now THAT would have been a reason to clear that flight out.— DR. DOLITTLE 🇬🇾 (@LiveFromTheFive) March 17, 2019
Dam I’m disappointed is #JessHilarious you felt threatened by a man that was 3+ people in front of you minding his business just getting on the plane? Nah you racially profiled him and it wasn’t funny— Juice.Bihh 🥤 (@Ya_Fav_Flava) March 17, 2019
The fact that Jess hilarious thinks it’s funny to be ‘threatened’ by 4 Sikh people entering the plane because she thought they were Muslim and bragging about them being kicked out after the New Zealand incident is disgusting. pic.twitter.com/LjBxSyuB5T— yas (@Adoomies1) March 17, 2019
UPDATE:
Jess posted about the situation again and said she's not racist. The comedian also said she didn't get anyone kicked off a plane. (Click the arrows on the pictures below to read her full response):
