OnlyFans star under fire for calling a male flight attendant a 'weakling' and a 'limp noodle' for not lifting her suitcase into an overhead bin on a plane

An OnlyFans star has come under fire for labelling a male flight attendant a 'weakling' and a 'limp noodle' for not lifting her luggage into an overhead bin on a plane.

Crossfit athlete and influencer Tatiana Girardi, from Cali, Colombia, posted a photograph of an Avianca crew member to her two million Instagram followers, alongside a caption that derided him for not dealing with her suitcase on his own.

The now-deleted post read: 'There are limp noodles around here. Take note: I asked this guy, "Can you help me lift the suitcase?'

'And he goes, "Between the two of us… "

'I felt so sorry for this weakling. I told him, "Relax, I can do it myself!"'

Jay Robert, who has worked as senior cabin crew for Emirates, responded to Ms Girardi's post on his popular Fly Guy's Cabin Crew Lounge network, calling her 'entitled' and 'sexist'.

He wrote: 'This is not an Avianca flight attendant issue, a lazy flight attendant issue, a strong or weak flight attendant issue, or a male or female issue.

'This suitcase is your issue, and your responsibility is to lift it. If you can't manage it, check it.

'The response you said this crew member gave you is the correct response that flight attendants worldwide are trained to give.

'We can assist you, but we are not to lift bags alone. We don't do this because it's not our responsibility, our health and well-being are not worth your suitcase.

'At many airlines, if the crew is injured lifting luggage, they are not even covered by medical benefits. Many crew members have had their careers ruined by lifting heavy bags, which is why airlines do not allow crew to lift bags.

'In my opinion, your comment is not only entitled but also sexist, as you think the female crew shouldn't be held accountable if they decline to lift your bag, but if a man only offers to assist but not lift himself, he's lazy, weak, and less of a man because he wishes to protect his health and job.

'As someone who had their career derailed due to back injuries from helping passengers, I, for one, applaud my fellow male crew member for not allowing toxic gender stereotypes of what men should do for women to influence his actions.'

At the time of writing Jay's post has received 560 comments, with many agreeing with his stance.

One commenter, Mike N Karla, wrote: 'You pack it you stack it. People should have to show the gate agent they can lift their own bag over their head. We do not have a clue what you packed, or how you most likely over packed it.

'We do not have X-ray vision to see what is inside or a way to tell us the weight of it. Get over yourself. Get it together - think like the independent woman you are.'
