Bobby Brown Was Ejected From A Flight For Allegedly Being Drunk
Bobby Brown has spent the majority of his career as your drunk uncle who won a talent show back in 1975 and won’t shut the hell up about it. True, we all recognize his R&B hits from back in the day, but his messiness and tabloid fodder far outweighs that. Case in point: Yesterday morning, Bobby was thrown off of a JetBlue flight after crew members suspected he was intoxicated, though passengers believe JetBlue was overreacting.
TMZ reports that Bobby was on a flight leaving LAX and heading for Boston for a family member’s funeral, so that alone is enough to unnerve someone on a Monday morning. Since this is Bobby B we’re talking about, he was reportedly a drunken mess on the flight and causing a disturbance. JetBlue should’ve handled a mid-morning drunk Bobby by throwing a spotlight on him before asking him to do a few bars of “My Prerogative” as they took off. But instead, they kicked Bobby, and everyone else, off the plane, which caused an hour delay.
Our sources say, once he was off the plane, Brown could be heard yelling at the officers that he had to get to his brother’s funeral. At one point, there were 4 cops surounding (sic) him … but they were able to calm him down.
BTW, as far as we know … Bobby’s brother, Tommy, passed away in 2016. A Brown family source tells us it was actually one of Bobby’s cousins who passed.
Eventually, everyone was allowed back on the plane — except Bobby. It’s unclear if he was arrested, but we’ve confirmed he did not get back on the plane … which has since departed.
Bobby Brown Removed from JetBlue Flight, Cops Called and Plane Deboards https://t.co/9rae0MEWiJ

Did JetBlue not know Bobby was going to be on one of their planes that day!? Because they should’ve seen this coming.
But apparently, those close to the incident claim that Bobby wasn’t being difficult at all. He admitted to having a few drinks before boarding but didn’t become irate once he was denied more liquor on the flight. Bobby missed that flight and JetBlue says they offered him a refund.
A rep for JetBlue tells us Brown was “removed from the aircraft prior to departure after crewmembers observed indications of intoxication. The decision to remove a customer from a flight is not taken lightly. In this instance, the customer was offered a seat on a later flight. The customer declined and was issued a refund.”
The moral of this story is that plane boozers should beware of JetBlue. See how they treat drunk “celebrities“? What do you think will happen to your drunk civilian ass when you board the plane in a chardonnay haze? The Air Marshall will probably have you handcuffed and on the ground in a matter of seconds.
