Sara Blake Cheek complains that an American Airlines flight attendant made her “button [her] shirt” in order to fly out of Atlanta on Sunday.
She reportedly lives in the Tampa area, so was likely flying to Charlotte. She’s an AAdvantage Platinum member, willing to connect on American rather than fly Delta non-stop it seems.
Ms. Cheek says “I was unaware that American Airlines had a dress code that said you can’t wear athletic attire if you have big boobs” and complains that another passenger was allowed to fly with the same exact outfit in a different color (but who was less well-endowed).
Finally leaving Atlanta after a cancelled flight this morning, rescheduling twice, and then being delayed. Now the flight attendant, tells me to button my shirt, but not the other women wearing the same outfit but are different in color than I am. @AmericanAir glad I’m a…

34-year old Cheek is a former Playboy ‘Playmate’ and “OnlyFans superstar.” She’s a sports talk show host who runs The VIP Ballers and has over half a million social media followers. She lives in Florida, and reports differ on whether she has three or four kids. No stranger to controversy, she and her family were banned from a Florida ice rink in 2023 due to “unacceptable behavior” which she says is because of her profession not her actions.
American and Southwest have seemingly had the most confrontations with passengers over their attire. American told a curvaceous woman to wear a blanket in order to fly and refused boarding to a Turkish fitness model. They even told a former Miss Universe that her athleisure wear wouldn’t fly when she was more modestly dressed than other passengers on the same flight.

However, American Airlines flight attendants are actually no longer allowed to kick passengers off flights because of their odor, attire, or attitude. They can no longer use their own judgment to kick you off of a flight unless you’re a threat to safety or security.
That’s what cabin crew were told with a revision to the airline’s Inflight Manual last fall, and comes as a result of a review prompted by eight black men being removed from an aircraft over reported body odor issue (the men did not know each other and were not traveling together, and the NAACP threatened to reinstate its travel warning against flying American as a result).
- When there are concerns unrelated to safety or security, those need to be raised by a passenger before any action is taken.
- The goal is to avoid removing a customer, not to remove them.
- No flight attendant can act alone – two crewmembers need to work on resolution.
- While the captain retains authority on passenger removal for safety of the flight, if it’s not a safety/security issue the captain now must contact a Complaint Resolution Official at the airline. And crew must fill out a CERS report.
Here’s the relevant internal summary of the change, that went out to every American Airlines flight attendant:
The memo continues,
Leaving things like behavior and attire standards up to the airline’s customers, rather than asking a flight attendant to guess at what is offensive, and asking more than one employee to be involved in the decision seem like reasonable steps to address ambiguity. And when immediate safety isn’t a concern, bringing in the company’s perspective seems like the right move, too.
Playboy/Only Fans??? She looks like she is homeless
I applaud the flight attendant. For those customers unable to determine for themselves how to dress in public (which they have already shown to be the case by their choice of career), the public needs flight crew to help to make things right.
@David S.
You are being kind. However, Oscar the Grouch is missing the inside liner of his garbage can.
You can call email him @homelesscans dot com.
Oh, yeesh. if she wants to walk around with her boobs hanging out, that’s her choice. We’ll all survive the situation.
A Flight Attendant told her to button up BEFORE boarding? Somehow, I think Ms. Cheek meant the Gate Agent.
I once read in a wedding planning book, “politely decline offers from friends or relatives to perform at your wedding, unless you are certain the rendition will be of performance quality”
I adapt that here to say, “resist the temptation to remove clothes in public unless you are certain your rendition will be of display quality.“
That being said, in my humble opinion, this “rendition is of display quality.”
So my vote is, letter board without any wardrobe modifications. If you don’t like it, look away. If you do like it, enjoy the rendition.
Oh good, another ad for some thot’s OF. Cover up, nobody thinks your act is cute, especially at age 34.
And to think that 50 years ago people literally got dressed up to fly. Men in suits and women in long dresses. Now everybody on the plane looks like they’re dressed to mow the lawn.
onlyfans “superstar”?
She puts the whore in attention whore!
I am less offended by this than all the people in flip flops on the plane.
@TravelWarr: I’ll dress like it’s a fine dining restaurant when the airline feeds me like it’s one.
BUSTED!!!!
Ms Cheek, If you wear appropriate clothing that covers the goods, you will not need an ugly flannel shirt. Also brush your hair.
Some of you come to the airport looking like you just rolled out of bed some of you come to the airport looking like you made a movie the night before and I’m not talking about a Disney movie. I know you really care about other people but at least care about yourself have some type of respect for yourself because we talk about you as soon as you pass by us.
I can’t believe I made it this far in the comments and no one has suggested that she… ‘turn the other cheek.’ And by ‘cheek,’ I’m not talking about the ones on her face… *tap* (that’s a fairly vanilla biblical and anatomical combo joke, about a porn star, folks… kinda hard to pull off, but here we are!)
It’s sad that in today’s world, it’s “all about me” everywhere you go. Women have little to no class anymore and go to great lengths to alter themselves physically for attention. People, religion, businesses – anything to make a buck no matter what the cost, including ones sense of dignity, right?
Why can’t people just dress like they were going to a decent dinner restaurant instead of like they are auditioning for the latest reality show or wearing pajamas to Walmart. I’m not.saying you need formal wear to board a flight, but at least wear something modest and not trashy.
I am OK with however much skin they want to bare unless I have to sit by it and there is always a chance I will. I don’t want to be up close and personal with their bare skin. This goes for all kinds of excessive bare skin…men in tank tops and short shorts, fat bulging out of skin tight latex, showing off the boobs, and bare feet. It is easy to be comfortable and casual and still be modest. It would be good if airlines would publish a clear cut dress code to put passengers on notice what is expected and take the heat of FAs doing the right thing based on judgement calls.
Wow. The attention seeking Karens are really coming out of the woodwork today.
A hint: Someone else’s sense of style just really isn’t any of your business. If you don’t like it, just ignore it.
Yes, on the slutty side but then that’s the business she’s in. At least she doesn’t weigh 300 pounds and has been convinced by Tik Tok that she’s a beauty.
I would have to say, like restaurants, air planes are a place where the servicer (airline) has a right to refuse service if it could impact other customers (i.e. would you want your kids to be wearing that to school) provided it be clearly communicated by the airline (something noted when you’re purchasing a flight). This is very similar in my opinion with all the discussion about what is appropriate for people to watching on their IFE…is it really hard to
A skank is a skank regardless of skin color, wealth, education or clothing, etc.
It’s a genetic attitude passed down from mother to child & the cycle never, ever ends.
I have less of a problem with women passengers showing a bit of skin than with passengers sticking their feet everywhere. Sometimes I think the objection about skin is just some women showing superiority over other women. Are such objections brought up proportionally (as a percentage of the workforce) as much by male flight attendants?
It’s really important to know whether she has three or four kids. Gary needs to get this resolved and revise this story, so I can sleep tonight as well as my opinion will change dramatically on this situation depending on the answer to this relevant fact.
I would not object if Ms. Cheek was seated next to me. I would not look at her more than a glance or two unless she was sociable and wanted to start a conversation. I have conversations with seatmates some of the times. Some are quite interesting such as the young medical doctor a couple of trips ago. Also from LAX-ICN (Asiana) with the Korean professor who had not eaten since before his flight from Mexico City (he was still hungry after the first meal so I encouraged him to ask a flight attendant for snacks – she brought a cup of noodle soup instead and that filled him up.) I have noticed that men are more willing to engage in conversation than women.
You’re really milking this story, Gary. It’s udderly ridiculous. Boobies.
Well said, @Mantis. It’s a titillating story. Time to ‘nip’ this in the bud. Bazongas.
She looks like a hobo with daddy issues.
First, she looks like a whore…plane (sic) and simple. OK, looking like a lady of the evening isn’t against the law. “…not aware or a dress code”. I can bet that very few people read the “contract of carriage” available to every passenger, IF they look. While I agree with the writer that it was probably a gate agent who made the determination, the flight attendants could have also been waiting to board the plane, too. Either way, the airline is in control. American’s “Conditions Of Carriage” state: “Dress appropriately; bare feet or offensive clothing aren’t allowed.” As you can read, that is a wide open interpretation. However, “We may not let you fly (temporarily or permanently) for any reason, including if you:” … is a very broad brush which is open to interpretation…BY THE AIRLINE, not the passenger. OK, big boobs, button up or bail out!
Hey BUSTY! if before boarding it was the agent.
Note what the rules say: issues of attire must be raised by passengers, not crew. She’s noting that someone else in the same outfit wasn’t challenged–clearly, somebody complained about her, didn’t complain about the other person.
That being said, the skin she is exposing is not going to be touching anyone or anything. And so I don’t care one bit.
Nothing wrong with how she was dressed. No, it’s not my cup of tea – I still remember and prefer the days when we dressed up in our Sunday best to fly, wore ties, and so on – but its no different, and certainly no more revealing, then what I see everyday out in public. Either these airlines have to devise very strict, ultra-clear and unambiguous dress code rules, or they have to stop powertripping every time someone sees something even slightly risque.
Playboy “model”
Only Fans Superstar
Kicked out and banned from local family sports center for lewd behavior
Takes selfies in ladies bathroom, with random strangers present and in frame. Published here.
Takes every opportunity to exploit her giant tits for money.
What a great example of humanity.
But, at least Gary thinks she’s “well endowed.”
now the average weight properly dressed and showered passenger who sits next to a 359 lb behemoth who reeks and is dressed in shorts flip flops and a crop top just has to grin and bear it if flying for 4 hrs in coach
well, there’s always the comp biscuit
I do not mind if a woman shows her chest, as long as she does not complain if men notice it.
Taking a picture in a public bathroom and other people in the photo is against some laws, unless she got permission.
