Destiny’s Child singer Michelle Williams is calling out a passenger who went barefoot on her flight.
The singer, 45, shared a humorous post via Instagram on Sunday, April 6, detailing her less-than-pleasant first-class experience on a flight from Chicago to New York.
Sharing a snap of someone’s bare foot in the seat in front of her, Williams wrote, “I PROMISE YOU BETTA GETCHO FOOT FROM ME!!!! 🚨 Y’all this is happening neowwwwwwww on my flight and I am crying real tears!!”
In the comments, the “We Break the Dawn” singer shared more details about her traumatic experience. “For those asking…….. YES I am sitting in the first class cabin……a lot of AUDACITY resides in that booking class……. OBVIOUSLY!! #seat3F the f is for feet,” she quipped.
In a subsequent comment, she added, “I elbowed ‘it!’ Now I gotta take my coat to the cleaners!!!”
Williams’ Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland commented on her post, “NAWWWWWW!!!!” Meanwhile, Beyoncé’s mom, Tina Knowles, advised Williams, “Accidentally waste some ice cold Coke on him. I bet you he’ll move them then.” Knowles added, “I’m so sorry that you have to go through that!!!!”
In a video shared via Instagram on Sunday, Williams gave a more detailed account of her experience, which she said took place on a flight to New York City, where she is starring in a Broadway musical adaptation of Death Becomes Her. Williams said she was in her native Illinois for a “death in the family.”
“I made it. I made it home. I made it out alright. Never be de-feet-ed. I was almost de-feet-ed with somebody’s feet,” Williams joked in the video. “It tried to take me out! I said, ‘Wait a minute!’ You ever think you see something out of your peripheral [vision] … I look down [and see someone’s foot]. I’m itching.”
“It don’t matter to me what class you fly. I don’t care. You’re not gonna shame me into whatever class it was. People are like, ‘Well, you shouldn’t have been flying coach,’” she explained. “I was flying first class! My seat was 3F. I didn’t know the F was for feet! I just can’t!”
“I was crying real tears. And then reading you all’s comments had me cracking up,” she continued.
Despite her toe-curling ordeal, Williams said the passenger was polite and friendly.
“He was friendly, though. He actually helped take my bag out [of] the overhead bin, and I said thank you,” she shared.
However, she was still not impressed with her fellow passenger. “I’ve never done that before. I don’t mind if you had your socks on because sometimes you do need to stretch. If he would have had on some socks.”
