Atlanta Woman Causes Chaos in Airport After Claiming She’s a Witch: ‘BRING BACK SHAME’
ATLANTA, GEORGIA — A bizarre scene unfolded inside Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport after a woman allegedly stepped off a plane and began screaming, throwing hair clips, and claiming to be a witch. The viral incident, captured in multiple videos and shared widely across social media, left onlookers stunned and wondering why the woman wasn’t arrested immediately.
According to witnesses, the chaos began while the flight was still taxiing. One video showed the woman removing clips from her hair and hurling them at another passenger, shouting incoherently as she moved toward the front of the aircraft.
When the plane arrived at the gate, she positioned herself just outside the jet bridge, waiting for passengers to disembark. Videos posted online then showed her arguing with airport employees, even climbing on top of a counter while yelling at staff and other travelers.
“At this point, you just wonder why she wasn’t arrested immediately,” one viewer commented after the footage surfaced. “Apparently, this went on for quite a while.”
“It’s Me”: Unhinged Outbursts Caught on Camera
Additional videos filmed by different bystanders revealed that the Atlanta woman’s erratic behavior continued even after leaving the plane. In one clip, she repeatedly shouted,
“It’s me!”
Moments later, she became enraged upon spotting another passenger exiting the gate.
“I will hurt that [expletive]!” she screamed, slamming the gate door closed while some travelers were still inside.
A man nearby tried to calm her down, but she ignored him, continuing to shout at the crowd and demand attention. One video showed her standing on top of the counter, yelling:
“Why didn’t anyone come to help us?”
Some online commenters even agreed with that particular question, noting the apparent delay in airport staff response. Still, her behavior only worsened as she tossed more hair clips into the air and declared herself a witch.
“She said she was a witch and that she would put a woman into a candle,” a witness posted, describing one of the most unsettling moments caught on video.
No official statement has confirmed whether she was arrested or detained after the incident — a detail that shocked many viewers given the severity of her actions.

“BRING BACK SHAME”: Internet Users React to the Viral Meltdown
The footage quickly spread across platforms like Reddit, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter), where thousands of users debated whether the woman was mentally unstable or simply craving viral attention.
“BRING BACK SHAME,” one user wrote, reflecting the majority sentiment.
To everyone’s surprise, the Atlanta woman herself replied under that very comment, asking,
“What shame should ppl have when they are being disrespected?”
Viewers were stunned by her response — and even more so when she later claimed in another comment that she was never arrested.
“She said she didn’t go to jail? That’s insane,” one commenter wrote. “She’s going on the no-fly list — she’ll be banned from all flights.”
Another user added sarcastically,
“Idk girl, she said she’s a registered terrorist. She might be on the no-fly list of every single airline lol.”
Her public posts only fueled speculation about her mental state, with many saying her behavior and statements were indicative of serious instability.
“How Did She Even Get Through TSA?”: Questions About Security
Beyond the spectacle itself, some users began questioning airport security procedures, wondering how the woman was allowed to board a plane in the first place.
“How did she even get thru TSA with all them clips in her hair?!” one woman asked.
Another commenter responded,
“They not getting paid rn, probably didn’t care.”
A few sympathetic voices chimed in, suggesting that mental health struggles may have played a role.
“Mental health is real — I mind my business,” wrote one user, urging compassion despite the chaos.
Still, others couldn’t comprehend acting out at an airport, given the strict federal laws and the ever-present threat of being added to the no-fly list.
“I don’t understand how anybody goes to the airport acting a fool,” one commenter said. “When I go to the airport, I’m the most upstanding citizen in the world — yes sir, no sir, yes ma’am, no ma’am. I’m not getting put on that no-fly list.”
Viral Outrage and a Broader Discussion on Public Behavior
The Atlanta woman’s meltdown has sparked broader discussions about airport behavior and accountability, especially as viral videos of air-rage incidents continue to surge nationwide. Experts warn that such disturbances not only disrupt flights but can lead to federal investigations and lifetime flight bans.
However, with no confirmation of charges or arrests, many online users are demanding answers — and calling for stricter enforcement of rules to prevent future scenes like this.
“You can’t just jump on counters and call yourself a witch after a flight,” one viewer joked. “This isn’t Hogwarts — it’s Delta.”
