'I have 25,000 followers': Peter Nguyen threatens American Airlines air hostess after she catches him vaping in toilet
Peter Kobe Nguyen, an Internet personality and a self-described pickleball coach, created a scene that included some social media flexing on board an American Airlines plane after he was caught vaping inside the toilet of the aircraft.
Nguyen, in the viral video, accused the air hostess of harassing him by opening the bathroom door on him, and then he went on to say that he has 25,000 followers and they will watch this.
Nguyen recorded the video and posted on Instagram claiming that the airhostess put her hands on him but it backfired as his followers told him that he was at fault and was now trying to gain sympathy.
'I was actually sitting on the toilet and you were opening the door,' he said in the video.
'I don't care,' the crew member replied. 'You can keep saying you're sorry but I care about all these passengers.'

"I have a lawyer, I am a lawyer," Nguyen said, forcing the airhostess to apologize. Then he threatened to call the police when he landed.
In a follow-up post, Nguyen wrote that 'American Airlines customer service' had called to tell them they were conducting 'internal investigation' of the incident and that 'similar instances had happened in the past.'
'Justice is about to be served,' he wrote in the caption.
American Airlines acknowledged the incident and said: "A customer on American Airlines flight 2860 with service from Phoenix (PHX) to San Francisco (SFO) was removed from the aircraft upon arrival at SFO due to disruptive behavior. We thank our customers for their patience and apologize for any inconvenience."
"The San Francisco Police Department met the flight upon arrival and escorted the customer out of the concourse."
"What a sorry attempt to portray yourself as a victim. Stop Vaping in the airplane, case closed," the top comment of the Instagram post read. 'I have a lawyer. I AM a lawyer' lmao. No dude you play pickleball," another mocked him. "You should go to federal prison for vaping on a plane and endangering all the passengers on the plane," a third user wrote.

Su From So: How a low-budget Kannada film gained nationwide attention
'The secret everyone pretended not to know' is officially revealed - that's what Raj B Shetty wrote in his caption as his character reveal poster from the Kannada blockbuster film 'Su From So' was shared on social media, weeks after the film's re. While the makers' call to keep his cameo appearance a secret is brilliant and understandable, why did the audience choose to 'pretend not to know'?advertisementIn a world where the biggest surprises and cameo appearances immediately go viral on X and Instagram, the audience chose to enjoy this pleasant surprise and also save it for those watching the next show. Now, this is a rare occasion we hardly see happening. It only happens when viewers accept a film as their own and contribute to its success in more ways than just at the ticket counter. Raj B Shetty's X post revealing his character from the recent Kannada film 'Su From So' 'Su From So', by debutant director JP Thuminad, released in theatres across Karnataka on July 25, with little to no promotions prior to release. Banking solely on word of mouth, quite literally, using it as their marketing campaign by organising paid premieres across Karnataka and capturing audience reactions and reviews, the makers created enough buzz that, within a couple of days, it started spreading like wildfire. The social drama/comedy film has crossed the Rs 50 crore-mark at the box office. The film has sold more than one million tickets on BookMyShow, making it one of the few Kannada films to achieve this feat. 'Su From So' was released across Kerala in Malayalam on August 1 and has shown an upward trend in terms of audience reception and box office performance. The fact that this film was made on a budget of only Rs 6 crore, makes all the other numbers look exponentially more pleasing.'Su From So', having been produced by Raj B Shetty's Lighter Buddha Films, was picked up by Dulquer Salmaan's Wayfarer Films for distribution across Kerala. After release, Anil Thadani's AA Films acquired the North India distribution rights, while Mythri Movie Makers acquired the rights to dub the film in Telugu and distribute it across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The film was also released internationally by Phars Film and has been expanding its theatrical reach in several important centres.'Bandaro Bandaro Bava Bandaroo' has been on my playlist for a while, and that's just a background tune for the entry of a secondary character. The love has not been limited to the film but to every individual character in it. Requests for Ravi Anna to get a spin-off film, people dressing up children to look like Bava, Ashoka, Bhanu, Satish Anna, and Chandranna - all are fan favourites. Let's not forget Karunakara Guruji, played by Raj B Shetty - since we don't have to keep it a secret these are character that are unforgettable in the movie, we still have to keep the story a secret as 'Su From So' is gearing up for release in other languages. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Raj B Shetty (@rajbshetty)The minimal marketing strategy was an interesting approach that other filmmakers should use as a reference for their strategies. The makers organised promotional paid premieres in key locations of Karnataka, starting with Mangaluru, Shivamogga, Mysuru, and finally the time the team reached Mysuru to promote the film, the hype built by the promotional videos from the premieres in Mangaluru and Shivamogga compelled the makers to add extra shows in Mysuru and Bengaluru. This strategy worked wonders for the film, especially given the lethargy among viewers towards promotions restricted to interviews and mega events This is not the first time an 'underdog' film from Kannada cinema has piqued the audience's interest through a unique marketing strategy. 'Hostel Hudugaru Bekagiddare', a 2023 Kannada college comedy film, grabbed attention right from its title reveal - and the innovative marketing campaign backed the film so much that people still refer to it as the last complete comedy entertainer before 'Su From So'.Raj B Shetty's very first film as a director and actor, 'Ondu Motteya Kathe and 'Rangitaranga', Rishab Shetty's directorial 'Sarkari Hiriya Prathamika Shaale', Kasaragodu', 'Karva', and 'Love Mocktail' are some examples of underdog films that were accepted and loved by the audience, who carried these films to hit a time when digital noise often drowns out genuine creativity, films like 'Su From So' remind us that strong storytelling, authentic characters, and audience trust are still the most effective marketing tools that have now helped it gain nationwide attention. With every such underdog victory, the industry carves out a stronger identity on the national stage.'Su From So', short for Sulochana from Someshwara, features Shaneel Gautham, JP Thuminad, Sandhya Arakere, Prakash K Thuminadu, Deepak Rai Panaje, and Mime Ramdas, among others. The music for the film has been composed by Sumedh K, and it has been produced by Shashidhar Shetty Baroda, Ravi Rai Kalasa, and Raj B Shetty. This film comes highly recommended - and watching it as a community experience will only make it better for you.- EndsMUST WATCH:
