Deadline Hollywood reports:
Singer/actress Diana Ross said she was “violated” by an aggressive pat-down from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the airport security checkers who screen passengers for contraband.
Ross, who was in New Orleans to perform Saturday night at the annual Jazz & Heritage Festival, complained on Twitter about her treatment at the airport. She said the city treated her well, but the airport security at the Louis Armstrong International Airport did not.
This isn’t the first airport security confrontation for the 75-year-old Ross. In 1999, she was arrested at London’s Heathrow Airport after allegedly assaulting a female security officer who tried to body-search her.
OK so on one hand I’m treated like royalty in New Orleans and at the airport I was treated like shit
