Bodybuilder Banned From Flight After Staff Said Her Outfit Would ‘Disturb Other Families’
“I’m mature and civilized enough to know what I can and cannot wear.”
Deniz Saypinar is a fitness influencer popularly known on both TikTok and Instagram. The 26-Year-Old became the first woman in Turkey to receive an IFBB status (International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness) and recently relocated to Los Angeles to pursue her career and, importantly, experience ‘Freedom.’
Deniz Saypinar, 26, was left embarrassed when a staff prevented her from boarding her flight due to what she was wearing.
However, Deniz’s belief in wearing whatever you want in American went wrong, and indeed it cost her quite an embarrassment. The fitness model has claimed she was prevented from boarding a plane as staff informed her that her outfit choice would ‘disturb other families’ on the flight.
“You will never believe what happened to me at Texas Airport.” Deniz wrote on her Instagram story.
Deniz was told she was ‘naked’ and that her outfit’ will disturb other families waiting in the airport.
She added: “I am an athlete, and now I have to wait here until the morning. I like to wear feminine clothes that reveal my femininity, but I never dress in a way that will offend anyone. I’m mature and civilized enough to know what I can and cannot wear. I don’t deserve to be treated like the worst person in the world for wearing denim shorts. What separates from animals if humans can’t control even their most primitive impulses.” She even tagged American Airlines and posted a photo of the outfit.

Deniz had been waiting for the flight from Texas to Miami at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport when she got confronted. In particular, the bodybuilder moved to the United States to avoid the conservatism she has experience in her homeland. Yes, it was shocking that the American Airline staff found her fashion sense entirely on the extreme.

In response to the post, someone commented: “It is 2021, and there is still a dress code you have to follow to board a plane, of course, only if you are a woman. This is ridiculous.” Another added: “Teach society to respect women, rather than telling women what to wear or what to do.” Nonetheless, a spokesperson for American Airlines has responded with a public release.
In earlier 2021, Deniz became the first non-American citizen to win the US National Bikini Fitness Competition.
It reads: “On July 8, American Airlines denied boarding for a customer traveling from Dallas-Fort Worth to Miami. As stated in the conditions of carriage, all customers must dress appropriately, and offensive clothing isn’t permitted on board our flights. The customer was advised of our policy and was rebooked on a subsequent flight. The customer has since arrived in Miami.”
Also, she’s the first woman in Turkey to receive an IFBB status (International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness).
