Billie Joe Armstrong Kicked Off Plane For Saggy Pants

Truth rating: 10

Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day claims he was kicked off a plane due to saggy pants.

The rocker and a traveling companion were both removed from the Southwest Airlines flight from Oakland to Burbank on Thursday night when he refused an attendant’s request that he pull his trousers higher.

According to a local news producer on the flight, passengers were already seated when the flight attendant approached Armstrong and asked him to fix his pants, to which he allegedly replied, “Don’t you have better things to do than worry about that?”

Armstrong tweeted his frustration, writing, “Just got kicked off a southwest flight because my pants sagged too low! What the f*ck? No joke!”

An hour later, Southwest replied, tweeting at Armstrong, “Very sorry for your experience tonight, someone from our Customer Relations Team will reach out to you to get more details.”

In June, a University of New Mexico football player named Deshon Marmon was removed from a United Airlines flight at San Francisco International Airport and arrested after he refused to de-sag his pants.

    I hate the saggy pants look. especially when a guy is wearing a belt and still lets his pants sag past his ass. It’s not cool. it’s lame.

  • omg

    That wasn’t a question… it was a rhetorical statement.

    At less he wasn’t molested by some TSA agent.

    This is ridiculous. I mean I hate the saggy pants look but if he didn’t have any skin/ass crack showing what is the BFD? There’s obviously a double standard then because are they going to tell a lady who wears a v-cut neckline to cover up her cleavage? Also half the girls wear too low jeans and when they bend down you can see their thong and plumber’s crack. Will they be asked to pull their pants up? Nope. Billie is right, don’t they have better things to do like take away the urine splatters in the bathroom?

    I love Billie Joe and Green Day.

    I don’t like it when guys wear pants that hang halfway down their asses but I don’t see why that’s a reason to kick someone off a flight that they paid to be on.

  • Keb

    then pick your stupid pants up!

    plus thought he was smart; now, not so much. Greenday need publicity that much?

    if anyone on the flight felt “threatened”, they can ask attendant to do what they did; some might think he had weapons hidden. His refusal begged a second screening. Love BJ & GD but he shouldn’t have made a big deal of it; makes me wonder if this group I’ve always loved and thought righteous maybe not so much?

    Good for Southwest! Pick your pants up off the ground.

  • Patriciantish

    Agree. And he was already sitting down? Was the attendant going seat by seat and checking people’s back ends? Remember the woman who was kicked off for wearing her skirt “too short?” There’s a dress code for flying now? Please print that on your tickets…right next to the extra fees for having luggage.

  • Tmarshall

    Just shut up & pull up your pants Billie! How old are you…12??? I hate saggy pants with underwear pulled up around their armpits…it looks disgusting! So what’s next? Are idiots everywhere going to walk around with their fly open and claim it to be a fashion statement? IMO people like this have no class and take very little pride in themselves.
