Pop star Bebe Rexha has said she was “threatened” by a Lufthansa airline worker for being Albanian, something the airline says they are reviewing.
In tearful posts on her Instagram story Saturday, the singer – who was born in the United States to Albanian parents – wrote: “Lufthansa, l’ve been threatened because I thought the security agent was Albanian. I spoke to him in Albanian asking where to get my ticket and now he is banning me from the flight.”
“I believe this to be a hate crime because I am Albanian,” she added.
She said that he “continued to mentally abuse me” and “Not one of the women at Lufthansa stepped in or said something.”
The singer-songwriter wrote that she has “never been so emotionally drained,” adding that the German airline had messaged her directly, but she urged them to do “a full investigation.”
