Alaska Airlines flight attendant reacts to ‘unfair’ firing over viral twerk video: I wanted to get ‘hyped up for my day’

She didn’t like them blowing the whistle while she twerked.

Alaska Airlines flight attendant Nelle Diala has spilled the beans on getting fired for filming herself twerking at work, claiming that the punishment was “unfair” and even “discriminatory.” She opened up about getting canned for shaking her tailfeather in a recent interview with Inside Edition.

“I didn’t think that being so happy could turn into something like this,” she said. “I just decided to take advantage of the moment to wake myself and get myself hyped up for my day.”

Diala had reportedly uploaded a now-private TikTok video depicting herself shaking her moneymaker on an empty plane at 6 a.m. while waiting two hours for the captain to arrive.

The video itself isn’t that offensive. The problem was, she crossed a clear boundary with their social media policy. This is why none of my friends who are still flying ever post pictures or videos of themselves in uniform to social media.

When I worked an overnight shift and decided to smoke on an empty trading floor, nobody cared. If I put a video of me smoking on an empty trading floor up on TikTok

Today's young folks can't enjoy themselves unless they are on camera. It's not even real unless an anonymous audience of thousands can see it and respond. The idea of enjoying yourself alone is foreign to them.

I’ve never heard of getting psyched up for work that way. If I wasn’t retired in my mid 70’s I’d try it. Just not out in public or in front of my wife. No use risking an arse kicking. 😁

Looking at her video, a more apropos song for her to twerk to would've been Sir Mix-a-Lot's Baby Got Back.  "I like big butts and I cannot lie ..."

Now that she's been terminated and has lots of free time, she'll be able to twerk some of those excess pounds off on her own time.

I guess if she was applying at a strip club

I’m also guessing that the airline didn’t want to be portrayed as a ghetto strip club

Here is the link to the video. Pretty harmless if you ask me. She’s just having a little fun

She is an attractive woman, but she should have known better, as you said.

Perhaps she should have been working for Southwest Airlines, which used to be all in on this kind of thing.

Southwest would hire her and let her do that in front of a full plane and post it!

Yep- here is just a taste of what was in store for Alaska Airlines-

“In another post, according to the Daily Mail, Diala claimed that Alaska “did discriminate” against her because her dance was “geared toward the urban community.”

“So, of course, the company would like to embrace ‘all cultures’ but leave the minority girl from the ghetto OUT,” she declared.”

If she had lost about 50 lbs before doing it, it would have been okay, IMHO...

I flew Southwest often 2 times a week in the early 1990s

They were pretty good and more on time that TWA

It was a cheap hop so I always kept 2 roundtrip for each in my briefcase because it was my regular weekly commute

You could just show up and go before the Muslims did 9/11

Exactly. When I was a probie, we all got a talking to after a girl went to a Letterman show taping while on layover in NYC. He put her on camera when he did his audience walk-through and she was not in uniform, but told him her employer’s name. He asked her, “So what do you guys really feel about the passengers?” “Oh, the passenger is the enemy,” she responded. It got a huge laugh and Letterman continued with the joke for pretty much the entire show. Not only was she fired the next morning, but they wouldn’t even fly her back to her home base.
