HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A woman is suing United Airlines, claiming she was kicked off a flight out of Houston because someone complained that she had a "pungent odor."

The mother and her children were on a flight to San Francisco in 2016.

The suit says a man in business class told the flight crew that she smelled, and he was not comfortable flying next to her.

According to the lawsuit, the woman, who is Nigerian, believes she was booted because of her race.

She and her children were put on another flight five hours later. United has not commented on this lawsuit.

She probably smells no worse than "boiled cabbage, urine and farts" Hillary.

Another outraged black woman who probably needs to take a shower once in a while.

I’ve smelled some tourists that would make a buzzard barf.

if someone is able to boot somebody off a plane because the smell upsets them, what other reasons can be used?...the sight of them?..their mismatched clothes?..their reading material?..the way they speak?..

how far are we going to take this "me..me..me" mantra?...

What if she was topless?

Should you be forced to sit next to her topless?

The lawsuit is filed when? Obviously, she wins and the airline gives free flights to all black women, plus lets homeless come into the airplanes at night to sleep and use the head.

You’re being retarded. Stink in a confined space is nothing like mismatched clothes or the other “examples” you gave.

Why are you an advocate of foul smelling people?

Because topless women demand to board airplanes all the time.

If nobody else complained or noticed any “pungent” odor it is probably that the man was sensitive to something the woman ate. Some people seem to excrete odors from foods and seasonings like garlic, curries, and asparagus than others.

I made my husband switch coffees because to me the one he used to drink smelled like cat pee.

A year an a half ago I was going through the Imperial palace in Vienna during a heatwave when I came up behind a group pf older Italian tourists.

I could smell them from fifty feet away. Ugh.

Hey, my cats may be innocent.

What if someone took their shoes off and the whole cabin full of people turned to look?

Smell is particulate. She was imposing her unhygenic condition on those around her. Moreover, I bet she never gets frisked by TSA. The woman is an inconsiderate, self-absorbed boor and a security risk. Ban her from the domestic air theatre until she learns how to bathe.
