Furious female passenger attacks Southwest gate agent and his COMPUTER during unhinged Orlando Airport meltdown
The unidentified female flew into a rage at the Florida travel hub October 14 after being unable to make three flights in a row on standby, eyewitness Peyton Turberville said.
The unknown woman approached the desk and called one of the agents, who is wearing a pink shirt, a 'motherf*****'.
'Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? I need to go', she said before launching a kick at the man who was urging other workers to 'back away'.
Fellow passengers gathered in the departure lounge could be heard gasping in shock as the woman's foot connected with her unfortunate victim, as Turbeville added: 'That's assault'.
The woman then lashed out at a computer at the gate as the man walked away, she continued incoherently shouting: 'Two flights, two flights, three planes after 45 minutes.'
She loudly barked the word 'Huh?' at the end of each roared demand.
Her victim began walking away, only to find himself followed by the frenzied woman who demanded other eyewitnesses call 911.
Stunned onlookers started making comments to the woman, as she told one person: 'I have my rights, so that's what I want - get the police.'
The woman then returned to the gate and punched the computer she had previously damaged, sending it crashing to the floor.
She continued stalking the unfortunate gate agent back to his desk as the clip ended.
It is unclear if the woman was arrested. Southwest Airlines and Orlando International Airport have been approached for comment.
The meltdown comes days after newly-released bodycam footage showed a Southwest pilot being escorted from a flight by police moments before take off over fears he was drunk.
David Allsop, 52, was arrested in January in Savannah, Georgia with footage of the incident being released last week.
At one point she asked fellow passengers to call the police for reasons unknown
Allsop was due to captain Flight 3772 to Chicago, but was apprehended in his cockpit after TSA officers notified police that they suspected he was drunk.
Allsop was conducting pre-check flights when police boarded, escorted him off the plane and asked him about his alleged recent alcohol consumption.
The pilot confirmed he drank 'a few beers' the night before, 'like 10 hours ago at least,' with an officer remarking on how he reeked of alcohol.
Pressed by a suspicious cop to define 'a few beers,' Allsop replied that he'd drunk 'like, three' Miller Light' with his first officer.
He failed two of the three tests and was then asked to undergo a blood draw to determine his blood alcohol content - which he refused.
Allsop has been fired from his job, Southwest said, with the scandal effectively ending his aviation career.

Man charged with killing an 'American Idol' exec and husband will undergo mental evaluation
A man charged with fatally shooting an 'American Idol' music supervisor and her husband in their Los Angeles home will undergo mental evaluation to determine whether he's fit to stand trial, a judge ruled Wednesday. Raymond Boodarian, 22, was set to be arraigned in a courthouse in Los Angeles but did not enter a plea. A judge suspended the criminal proceedings against him while a psychiatrist examines him to determine his competency. He's charged with two counts of murder in the killing of longtime 'American Idol' producer Robin Kaye and her husband Thomas Deluca, both 70, who were shot when they came home unexpectedly during a burglary on July 10. A judge at a court that specializes in mental health will consider the evaluation and decide whether Boodarian will proceed toward trial or be placed in a state hospital. Boodarian stood behind a window in a custody area of the courtroom, and appeared to try to remain out of sight. His attorney declined comment, and the district attorney's office had no immediate comment. Boodarian will undergo the same evaluation in the same small courthouse on Hollywood Boulevard where a man charged with stalking Jennifer Aniston and driving into the front gate of her home was recently found to be not competent to go to trial. Police said they responded to a 911 call about a burglary at the home of Kaye and Deluca in the Encino neighborhood of Los Angeles. Police said they found no sign of forced entry or other trouble and left. Four days later the couple's bodies were found, shot to death, when officers carried out a welfare check at the home. Boodarian was arrested the following day. District Attorney Nathan Hochman later said in a community meeting that investigators believe the couple arrived home unexpectedly while Boodarian was burglarizing it. He shot them with their own gun and later called 911 himself, Hochman said. Kaye had been with 'American Idol' for more than 15 years and was working on the upcoming season of the hit singing competition TV series at the time of her death. She had also worked in the music departments of several other productions, including 'The Singing Bee,' 'Hollywood Game Night,' 'Lip Sync Battle,' and several Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants.

Hulk Hogan's daughter makes more explosive claims on her father's death and says he will have an autopsy
Hulk Hogan 's estranged daughter Brooke has released a bombshell statement over her father's death - and revealed that officials will conduct an autopsy. The wrestling icon suffered a cardiac arrest and passed away at the age of 71 last month. By then, Hogan had gone years without speaking to Brooke, 37. Brooke initially remained silent in the wake of his death, before later demanding an autopsy on his body and seemingly accused the authorities of foul play. She later backtracked over those comments but has now returned to social media to claim that body cam footage from the day could 'shed enough light to change the narrative'. On her Instagram story, she wrote: 'FACT: I've 100% gotten legit calls from professionals- from police officials to nurses that were supposedly with my dad on the day of his death telling ME I need to see body cam footage and I need to get a hold of the 911 tapes because they supposedly contain information that could potentially shed enough light to change the narrative we/I/everyone's been hearing. 'Those same professionals feel so passionately about what they witnessed, they have continued to contact me and push me to find specific answers to this very day. 'They are quite literally putting their careers at risk because they feel so compelled to do the right thing. The short of it is- it's all up to my dad's wife and I have zero control. I can not do anything, my hands are tied, and I have no say in anything regarding my dad - even as his daughter. Those are the rules as I've been told. In another story, she wrote: 'I do not have any information on if or when he is being cremated. Could have been right after he died, could be tomorrow. I do not know. 'I have been told by my brother there will be an autopsy. I do not know who will be performing the autopsy. Any information I receive from an autopsy- if one happens-whether I believe it or not, I will be keeping private out of respect for my father. 'I do not have answers as to if the officials who have contacted me about what they witnessed relayed this information to the medical examiner's office. And if they did, I do not know why it wasn't taken into consideration. 'All body cam footage and 911 dispatch calls are not available via the freedom of information act. It's all on lockdown. I do not know why. 'Do I question his general physician signing off on his death certificate, given his background which is available for anyone to see via a simple Google search? You can answer that one for yourself. 'I have to trust that my brother is doing his best to get answers. At the end of the day, answers would be great, but none of it brings my dad back. And my hands are tied'.

Brutal warning to Texas Democrats as troopers shadow every move to ensure vote... handing seats to Republicans
Texas Democrats say they are being treated like fugitives as they are threatened with arrest if they don't show up to the house to vote during a bitter redistricting fight that could hand Republicans and Donald Trump five extra seats in Congress. Tensions boiled over this week in Austin, where state troopers were ordered to shadow Democrats around the clock, even when they dropped their kids at school, to ensure they stayed for votes. Their forced presence gave the Texas House a quorum, the minimum number of lawmakers required to move legislation forward. At stake are new congressional maps drafted by Republicans under Governor Greg Abbott, 67, a Trump loyalist who has promised that Texas will deliver more GOP seats in 2026. The plan could cement GOP dominance in the state delegation and boost Trump's hopes of retaking the House. Democrats tried to resist by fleeing the state. In early August, 57 lawmakers skipped town, flying to Illinois and New York in a dramatic attempt to block the GOP's map vote. They returned 18 days later only to find themselves under near-constant surveillance by the Texas Department of Public Safety. Rep. Gina Hinojosa, a Democrat from Austin, asked the speaker of the House on Wednesday morning if she would be arrested if she left the chamber before the end of the session. 'Let's find out,' replied Rep. Jeff Leach, a Republican from Dallas. One of the most defiant Democrats has been Rep. Nicole Collier of Fort Worth. She refused to sign the paperwork authorizing DPS monitoring and instead stayed inside the chamber for more than 30 hours, even sleeping overnight on the floor. Her stand drew supporters to the Capitol Tuesday evening, but the crowd was evacuated when someone posted a threat on social media urging others to 'go to the Capitol and shoot and kill those who will not allow lawmakers to leave,' according to local outlet KVUE. 'For the safety of those at the Texas State Capitol, and out of an abundance of caution, the Texas Department of Public Safety evacuated the public from the Capitol building around 6:30 this evening,' DPS announced. 'It will remain closed to the public for the remainder of the day.' Meanwhile, support for Collier mounted, with the Fort Worth representative receiving a call from former vice president Kamala Harris. Collier shared on X that Harris told her: 'You are among those that history will reveal was among the heroes of this moment, so you just stay strong.' This happened! — Nicole Collier (@NicoleCollier95) August 20, 2025 Collier has also filed a lawsuit against Texas, alleging 'illegal restraint by the government' for not being allowed to leave. 'I refuse to comply with this unreasonable, un-American and unnecessary request,' Collier told CBS News. By Wednesday, the Texas House was voting on amendments to the new maps, with a final vote expected later in the day. Meanwhile, California governor Gavin Newsom has promised to redraw congressional districts in his state in response, setting up a redistricting arms race between the nation's two most populous states.
