Tommie Lee thrown off plane for not giving up wine
Reality star Tommie Lee is at the center of the latest airline scandal and it seems alcohol is to blame.
Video, taken by a fellow passenger, captured the moment she was kicked off a Delta Airlines flight after allegedly refusing to give up her glass of wine at the terminal.
Seen in a long sleeve pink and black striped shirt, Lee wiggles out of her seat and walks down the aisle, followed by security.
She appears very calm as the airline crew mumbles something inaudible to her before she exits.
The controversy comes on the heels that Lee will be booted off the popular reality show Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta due to her 'violent' behavior.

ShareLee's rep told DailyMail.com on Friday that the star was not kicked off for drinking but for grieving the death of her friend, which, if true, is an unprecedented move from the airline.
This comes as rumors have been swirling that Lee will be booted off the VH1 hit show for her 'violent' behavior, even though she has been part of the program for just two seasons.
Lee has had her fair share of alcohol-related controversies. Last year, a video emerged of her being forced out of her car and handcuffed by police officers.
Lee's rep told DailyMail.com that the star was not kicked off for drinking but for grieving the death of her friend, which, if true, is an unprecedented move from the airline. Just two days before the incident unfolded, the Love & Hip Hop star posted this picture on Instagram with the caption, 'Imma try for u'
The scandal came on the heels that Lee would be dismissed from her popular VH1 show due to her 'violent' behavior. In this picture she posted three weeks ago, she poses with her co-star Tammy Rivera
The star initially posted a video accusing the cops of police brutality, but they later said Lee was forced out of her car because she had allegedly lied about being the passenger rather than the driver.
Officers said Lee's eyes were bloodshot and watery and her speech was slurred when they booked her for drunk driving, disorderly conduct and driving with an expired license, according to TMZ.
She also reportedly peed herself in the police car on the way to the station but she blames the deputies for not accepting her request to go to the bathroom.
Earlier this year, she posted a 'drunken' rant on Instagram Live, which seemed to be aimed at her friend Mary Jane - also featured in the video - although it's unclear the reason behind it.
Last year, Lee accused the cops who arrested her of police brutality. Video later emerged showing the star handcuffed by police officers. In this tweet, posted on July 2016, she shows the bruises behind her knee and on her shoulder, which allegedly came about because of her interaction with the police officers
'Stop playing with me!' she said in her viral rant.
'Y'all are not going to trick me off the motherf***ing streets.
'I will beat a b****'s a** and kill a b****!'
When DailyMail.com reached out to Delta Airlines, the spokesperson said Lee was 'accommodated' on a later flight.
