Fitness influencer banned from flight for attempting to board ‘naked’ amid record-breaking heatwave

Add The New York Post on GoogleThis sexy sightseer was in for a nude awakening.
Edda Elisa, a fetching fitness influencer from Germany, was denied entry on a Lufthansa flight after a gate agent allegedly accused her of being “naked” as a “catastrophic” heatwave plagues Europe.
And the blond bombshell is heated about harassment.

“What the f- -k?,” griped Elisa, a reality TV personality and content creator, detailing the ordeal to her over 641,000 virtual fans.
Airing out her grievances from the airport, the siren, sporting a sporty athleisure two-piece, made complete with a pair of black biker shorts and a V-cut sports bra, claimed the Lufthansa staffer, “looked at me and said, ‘You can’t board like that…You’re not wearing anything. You’re naked.’”

Unappreciative of the employee’s “tone,” an incensed Elisa argued that her causal couture was befitting of the nearly 90-degree weather outside. Her protests, however, fell on deaf ears.

“She told me I wasn’t wearing normal clothes, and that I had to put something over it now,” said Elisa. “‘You go to the side now and you can only [board the plane] once you’ve got something on.”
The smoke-show compiled, slipping into an oversized zip-up hoodie. But the no-nonsense gatekeeper was unsatisfied.
“‘No, you have to close it,’” Elisa recalled of the airline worker’s command, which came with a side of shaming and blaming. “‘And because of you [the plane] is delayed now, the whole flight is delayed because you’re holding up all the traffic.”

Elisa argued that she’d “never once heard anything about a dress code on a plane,” but representatives for Lufthansa say their wardrobe rules are plain and simple.
The airline stated that passengers must wear clothing “appropriate to the character of a public journey” that does not impair the well-being of fellow travelers from diverse backgrounds, according to reports.
Appropriate attire is a relatively standard statute across airlines worldwide. Violators of the garb guidelines often remain grounded.

From crop tops to itty-bitty bikinis, from going barefoot to going braless, commercial carriers have unapologetically upheld their dress code policies for decades, undeterred by social media backlash.
Still, an unyielding Elisa demanded that Lufthansa offer up an explanation for her unpleasant experience.
The airline reportedly responded, saying that the gate agents alleged use of words like “naked,” do not “correspond to our standards” and would not have been used by their staff. Lufthansa said it takes reports of inconsistencies seriously and reviews such incidents internally.

Dress code enforcement in the friendly skies isn’t just about modesty. It’s also rooted in ensuring the hygienic well-being and safety of all passengers, per flight attendant Barbara Bacilieri. The in-flight expert recently issued a fair warning to flyers about the perils of wearing skimpy outfits at 30,000 feet.
“Sure, they might look cute on Instagram, but during an evacuation, they’re a recipe for burned thighs and scraped skin,” Bacilieri said. “Sliding down that inflatable ramp with your skin exposed – ouch.”
“It’s not glamorous; it’s painful and dangerous.”

Badenoch blasts 'moaning' female Labour MPs over Burnham jobs 'quota'
Kemi Badenoch has told Labour women to earn a job in Andy Burnham's Cabinet instead of demanding they are handed jobs because of their gender.
The Tory leader lashed out today amid reports that female MPs are demanding the de-facto new prime minister introduce a 50:50 gender split 'quota' in his government.
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister also complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts.
But in a scathing article in the Times today Mrs Badenoch told them to 'stop moaning' and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'.
'There are many, many reasons why you shouldn't have any Milibands in the cabinet,' she said.
'But complaining that the boys haven't given them the right jobs or that the boys are taking all the jobs, just shows that Labour's women still don't get it.'
The idea of quotas was also attacked by Baroness Jacqui Smith, Labour's Skills Minister.
Asked by Times Radio if Mr Burnham should reserve jobs for women, she said: 'No, I think what Andy Burnham should be doing is building the very best team around him to change this country.'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband (above, right, in 2010) is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts
But Mrs Badenoch told them to pipe down and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party and seen by the BBC has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs after he succeeds Sir Keir Starmer.
'We are asking you to demonstrate this change from day one and address the toxicity and misogyny within our own party and government,' it said.
Labour has never had a female leader, while the Conservatives have had three, and Mrs Badenoch urged the government to follow its meritocratic example.
'If you run a meritocracy, then you do not have to worry about jobs for the boys,' she wrote.
'Every woman who is a Conservative MP, every woman who has ever won the leadership, has had to fight to get where she is.
'By contrast, Labour women are demanding guarantees from Burnham. But the truth is he doesn't have to give any guarantees.
'If none of Labour's women are prepared to get their hands dirty and challenge him for the leadership, their demands are toothless.'
'In fact, it's quite revealing that the women's parliamentary Labour Party has written to Burnham asking him to commit himself to at least 50 per cent female ministers.
'This has nothing to do with meritocracy. It is yet more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country.'
