A Miami woman is suing American Airlines, accusing a flight attendant of mistreating her and locking her emotional support dog in an airplane bathroom for an hour.
Avigail Diveroli, who claims she suffers from severe anxiety, said her “medically necessary comfort animal,” Simba, was quarantined in the bathroom during the last hour of an April flight from Miami to Los Angeles, according to the lawsuit.
At one point, the attendant, identified only as Regina in the suit, grabbed the kennel, with the dog inside, and started slamming it “with the door to the bathroom,” according to the lawsuit.
