An Orthodox Jewish couple who were removed from an American Airlines flight over their body odor last year are now suing for discrimination.Yehuda Yosef Adler and his wife Jennie are seeking unspecified damages in the suit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas Houston Division.[.]The agent reportedly told the family that they needed to deplane because they had 'extremely offensive body odor,' but would only tell the Adlers that the direction came from the pilot.Offended by the sentiment, the Adlers expressed shock and informed the agent that they had never been informed about problems with their odor - adding that they had showered that very morning.[.]'The Adlers were seriously inconvenienced, treated as criminals, humiliated, insulted, defamed, missed appointments, incurred incidental expenses, and suffered trauma and emotional distress.'The family also takes issue with the airline's continuation of the narrative that they smelled. They claim that now when 'body odor' is searched online, results show the Adler name.The couple say that the defendants discriminated against them as Orthodox Jews, identifying their clothing with their religion and race.[.]'The Adlers suffered and will continue in the future to suffer trauma, stigmatization , severe mental and emotional distress, depression, despair , repugnance, embarrassment, public humiliation, damage to personal reputation, anxiety, fear and apprehension associated with airports and flying, loss of appetite, insomnia and migraines,' the suit reads.
Oh yes, the Adler family will suffer a lifetime of, "emotional distress." What a crock. "Oy Vaaay, our name appears online when people search 'body odor.' We now suffer from fear, distress, fear of airports and flying. Only money from suing American Airlines can soothe our humiliating health ailments resulting from our body stank."
"Fear of airports and flying." 🤣 Get Bent!
Look, if dozens of people independently conclude that someone has disgusting body odor, they have obnoxious and pungent body odor.

skybill The Captain #1 is law and order of the plane. He must've have agreed with the passengers. His/Her call to make.
I grew up in a town with a Rabbinical college. I can attest to experiencing horrible body odor thing and learned to keep my distance from dudes with scraggly beards dressed in black suits especially in the Summer.
Molson, I want to say their Torah tells them to bathe infrequently or to refrain from it at specific times? Something like that.
