Except she is not banned.

She arrived in Ireland with Aer Lingus. Y'all just believe everything without checking on the source first. No wonder Trump is a president.

Besides, she was being systematic racism victim while boarding her first plane, systematic racism that always happen in Europe. They may not as blatant as racism in USA but it happened.

In my opinion gurl struggles with either bipolar disorder, or borderline personality disorder... Or both. It's sad to see her antisocial behavior and the constant drama. People with BPD tend to view social relationships (which are always tumultuous and unstable for them) in the light of victims, perpetrators, or heroes. Every interaction they have, people are taking these roles in their minds including themselves. Hence her victim complex. They also switch up their opinions on others very easily. One day Grimes is a collaborator , next she's trash. One day Gaga is cool, next she's a joke... They have very unstable senses of identity, they partake in attention seeking behaviors... they relish in their trauma and "brokenness"... They can be hostile for fear or rejection or abandonment... Im wishing her health and that she one day gets help she needs .

Exactly what I was thinking. I know she is bipolar, she's said so herself. It's long been suspected that she doesn't take her medication, however, and that's what's causing her problems. Now, it's understandable if she acts out if this is indeed the case and perhaps this is the illness we're seeing and not the real her, but the thing is, she's frequently prone to racism and homophobia. As far as I've seen, heard and researched, there is nothing in the bipolar definition that states that the sufferer spouts intolerant beliefs. Bipolar sufferers can be very volatile and accusatory when they go on one of their 'highs' but I've yet to hear about them being racist and homophobic. It leads me to believe that this side won't come out unless you were racist and homophobic to begin with. In other words, this can't be something that Azealia is doing against her will due to an illness, that's the real her. So, I can only be so understanding when she has another scandal because it's clear that, bipolar or not, she was never was a good person to begin with.

Seeing these types of headlines use to intrigue me, but now I'm just like, "of course Azealia Banks got banned from an airline." And seeing how this only has one page so far, most of us are in the same boat.

I will say I don't doubt that a racial element was at play on some level though, especially since she says this tends to happen in that region for her. I mean, AB is awful and reacts to things terribly, but she doesn't tend to lie.

As much as you say that you've read a lot of articles regarding her antics, your wording here actually makes it sound as if you don't know her that well at all. She frequently overreacts, misreads innocent situations as a threat, makes a fool of herself, is obnoxious, rude and intolerant and has even been known to resort to physical violence. I have no doubt that she's not giving us the full story here (as always). Everyone who's around to witness her rows always say she was the one causing the problem and making threats. The situation with Russell Crowe is a perfect example of that. She made herself out to be a total victim when everyone who was at that party said she was the one acting wild and threatening to glass someone and actually made a move to do so, therefore had to be removed for everyone's safety. Now, I know Russell's famous for his bad temper as well but in this case, I think his anger would be understandable. We don't know how much force he exacted to remove her but by the sounds of things, anyone who acted the way she did would have had similar treatment. And everyone else who was there claimed he never called her a racial slur or spat at her like she claimed. Someone who's clearly as mentally unstable as she is are known to lie. For what it's worth, a lot of black people didn't believe her either, so it wasn't like it's just a case of whites defending other whites. So, taking all this into consideration, I wouldn't be surprised if she was acting erratically on the flight and perhaps some of the staff were even aware who she was and her reputation. Whatever the deal, never take Azealia's word alone as gospel. The staff haven't put their side forward. Just because airline staff are very strict about the safety of their passengers and removing unstable passengers (as such they should) does not mean that they're racist.

It was very ambiguous if she had been banned or not and the headline did say she was. Granted, I maybe should have put "banned" in quotation marks or something as it's unclear. Just because she landed with them doesn't mean that she wasn't banned afterwards. Don't be so rude as to claim that we haven't done our research. The issue isn't really about whether she was banned or not, the story centered around the row and her insult of Irish women, not necessarily what erupted from it. No need to resort to saying that any misunderstandings put us on the same level as uneducated Trump supporters.

I'll bet you anything that she's not giving us the full story. She always pulls this crying stunt whenever she gets caught up in a situation where she loses control of the narrative. In her mind, she is always the victim, never the aggressor. She has been known to get violent and was no doubt acting unstable on the plane, which is probably why the stewardess started "staring," at her (which might have just been a quick glance, we know how Azealia overreacts). Have you even travelled around Europe or know if systematic racism on our airlines is worse than elsewhere? Azealia always frames it as "I was just minding my own business when these racist people assume I shouldn't be here because a black person would never get this far in life." In reality, there's usually always a reason she was approached that was completely valid. Airlines have every right to protect their passengers and anyone of any race can cause trouble on a plane and need to be dealt with.
