Bebe Rexha took to Instagram recently to call out Lufthansa over a not-so-pleasant experience she had with the airline. Well, according to this pop star, Lufthansa employees threatened her with a possible flight ban for speaking Albanian to one of their security agents before boarding the plane. The said situation increased when Rexha, being of Albanian descent, started talking to an Albanian-speaking agent during one of the security checks.
Well, according to Rexha, this led to her getting into a dispute with the airline staff, who did not simply threaten to ban her but made her unwelcome on the flight. The onboard security agent denied her admission simply because she spoke Albanian, wrongfully assuming that he was also Albanian.
Bebe Rexha shared a video on her Instagram account, red in the face and furious with regard to what happened. She shared that she was speaking Albanian to ask about her ticket, but he turned around after that and didn’t allow her to get on the flight.

According to Bebe Rexha, it was a case of discrimination against her Albanian origin. Indeed, the agent would not give his name and collectively mentally intimidated her, making her feel powerless.
It was later revealed to her that he was an agent of ATSG, which was a document control services company working for Lufthansa. Though outraged and humiliated by this treatment, no female workforce from Lufthansa came to her rescue nor did anybody even utter a word against the happening.
