Comfort Emmanson details what air hostess did

According to Comfort, she had two phones and was told by the air hostess, whom she later slapped, to turn off the faulty one, but she struggled to do so and sought help from a male passenger.

She noted that the air hostess appeared unhospitable and remarked, 'You will see' after a male passenger eventually helped her turn it off.

Comfort said she could not turn off the phone on her own as its power button was not in good condition, which she showed the air hostess, who was having none of her excuses.

After that moment, she realised the air hostess blocked her from alighting from the flight and eventually dragged her frontal wig and pulled off her neck chain while she tried to understand why the hostess stopped her from leaving the plane with no reason.

Comfort, who is still receiving treatment, said she is still traumatised and can't step out because of the video, which had her chest area exposed. Her narration partly reads:

"...When I came out, the love I saw, the support from the people, I never expected it. For a commoner like me, you guys fought for me, you guys stood by me.
