In January, Lisa Archbold found herself at the center of controversy when she was escorted off a Delta Air Lines flight for not wearing a bra. The incident took place while Archbold was wearing a loose white t-shirt as she boarded a flight from Salt Lake City to San Francisco. Despite not being questioned during boarding, she was later escorted off by a gate agent who deemed her outfit “offensive” and “revealing.”
Archbold expressed feeling targeted and humiliated by the incident and questioned Delta’s policy regarding what constitutes offensive clothing. She believes that her clothing was no different from what a man might wear and should not have been an issue.
Now, her attorney, Gloria Allred, is calling for a meeting with Delta to discuss a change in policy. Allred raised concerns about how Archbold’s attire was handled in a letter to Delta’s president and requested a meeting to discuss practical solutions to avoid similar situations in the future.
Delta Air Lines previously apologized to Archbold for the incident, but Allred is pushing for further action to address the situation and prevent similar occurrences. As of now, Delta Air Lines has not responded to requests for comment on the matter.
