American Airlines blames 9-year-old girl for being filmed in plane bathroom: ‘Shocking and outrageous’🤯
American Airlines, facing lawsuits after a flight attendant allegedly filmed girls using plane bathrooms, is blaming a 9-year-old girl for being secretly recorded.

Estes Carter Thompson III, 36, of Charlotte, N.C., also allegedly had recordings of four other girl passengers using airplane lavatories — including the 9-year-old girl, who’s from Texas and was flying with her family to go to Disneyland. Thompson is accused of recording multiple girls by taping his phone to plane toilet seats.
"Defendant would show that any injuries or illnesses alleged to have been sustained by Plaintiff, Mary Doe, were proximately caused by Plaintiff’s own fault and negligence," AA said. "She knew or should have known contained a visible and illuminated recording device."
Thompson is accused of having videos of girls aged 7, 9, 11 and 14.
