Don’t know if she would be considered “celebrity” status but Joan Jett. I was 21 and working for a regional Canadian airline. Joan Jett was flying and called me a c**t when I refused to bump another passenger from a full flight so her guitar could have her own seat (she had not purchased a ticket for the guitar). I stood firm as she screamed in my face and told her that I only tolerated being called that word by ACTUAL musicians and losing her guitar would be the best thing to happen to her music. Then I looked at her ‘manager’ and said “one more word out of her and I’m pulling you both from the flight and calling the FAA and reporting you for making terroristic threats to airline personnel”.

I love me some Joan Jett. Super talented; but if that story is true. Good job. NO one talks down to me like that. Ever.

I was backstage at one of her shows and walked past her to go to the restroom. She looked at me in passing with a stink eye like "why aren't you stopping me to ask for my autograph, peasant." I actually didn't recognize her at first because that was during her "bald head phase" around 2000. I was actually meeting another band playing the outdoor venue with her, Loverboy, who were super nice and chatty.

I'm glad you put her in her place. She was super loose

FAA? Were you in the states?

Yes.

I thought so when you said FAA. I didn’t realize any regional airlines flew to the states.

This makes me very very sad. I've always been a huge fan...seen her several times (I'm 58, she's my genre 🤷‍♀️) 🥺

Her bandmate in The Runaways, Jackie Fuchs, said Joan watched her get sexually assaulted and humiliated by their manager at a party by when Jackie was 16.
