A row broke out on board a Wizz Air flight after a passenger filmed herself checking her hair after a nap – much to the annoyance of a fellow traveller who insisted she did not want to be on camera
Whilst jetting back to London after a short trip to Hungary, Paris Johnson casually whipped out her phone to check her hair using her front camera, after falling asleep on the Wizz Air flight.
As the 18-year-old absentmindedly sorted out her hair, a fellow passenger ordered her to stop recording. The woman demanded that she didn’t want to be filmed, even though she wasn’t on camera.
The video, which has gone on to become a viral TikTok, shows the mystery woman demanding Paris to stop recording, from her seat, which is separated by an entire aisle. Defending herself, Paris confirmed that she was not at all in the video, and yet the paranoid passenger repeatedly said, ‘I am, I am”.
When Paris assured the stranger that she was not in the clip, the passenger can be heard saying that she does not want people to know she is there, claiming to have a ‘recognisable’ voice.
In a shocked response, Paris laughed and asked, “Are you joking Sir?” but it appeared that the riled up woman was being serious and responded bluntly: “I’m a miss”. Despite her request, the teen asserted that she had ‘every right to record herself’ while on the flight.
Paris told the Daily Mail, “She looked quite young, so I thought she was joking. Her face was quite serious, so I realised she’s not joking. She was claiming to be famous, but I didn’t recognise her, and a lot of people haven’t recognised her either.”
The teenager went on to explain that she had asked flight attendants if she could move seats because the conversation was getting quite tense but was unable to as the plane was about to land.
After the bizarre incident, Paris said: ”I’m just happy I recorded it because it is funny now looking back, someone having an ego boost like this.”
Finding humour in the situation, the video was uploaded to the social media platform TikTok, and users soon flooded the comments section accusing the video of being ‘staged.’.
Paris confirmed that the row was in fact real: “’Lots of people said it was a skit, a lot of people have assumed it was some other famous people and tagged them.”
One user commented on the viral video: “No one knew she was there until she mentioned it!” Another chimed in to say, “Now I’m wondering who that was. And I probably don’t know her.”
Others were curious to know exactly who the supposed ‘famous’ passenger was, and guesses of the mystery celeb included Rita Ora and influencer Millie T. Although, it was Vogue Williams that received the most mentions, so much so that the star had to address the accusations in a TikTok of her own.
In her response video she said, “Oh Internet, you strike again. I actually couldn’t figure out why people kept sending me things saying ‘Sir Sir’; I just thought it was because I have a deep voice. And then I found out that everyone thinks I’m that woman from that girl’s TikTok video.”
“That woman also has a Scottish accent. Surprising, I know, because Scottish people are so sound. But the woman is not me.”
The TV presenter urged viewers to get off the app and ‘spend more time learning a language or something’ after the influx of comments about her alleged Wizz Air incident. She said, “Stop trolling and start knitting or something, and get lost.”
