Sarah Williams and her friend Nisreen Swedberg were traveling from Tampa Bay, FL to Los Angeles, CA where they were escorted off of their Southwest plane by security after causing a disruption during the flight. The teens are claiming being discriminated against for being too pretty. According to Willaims: "I think they were just discriminating against because we were young decent-looking girls. I mean, nobody else on the plane looked like us except us. The flight attendants were like older ladies. We were younger. Who knows, they could have been just jealous of us because we were younger.” Southwest is defending their decision, claiming that both girls were causing a disturbance on the flight. Willaims is admitting to swearing back at a passenger who reportedly yelled profanity at her after she knocked on the door of the lavatory while he was in it.
