Model alleges airline stopped her from boarding flight for being fat; court intervenes

Qatar Airways grabbed the headlines after a plus-size Brazillian model and influencer claimed that the airlines didn't allow her to board the flight because of her physique. 38-year-old model named Juliana Nehme took to her Instagram account to share the "extremely rude and aggressive" behaviour of the airlines. She said that she was humiliated, threatened, and pushed away by the airline staff as she began recording the whole incident.
