A couple who underwent cosmetic surgery together are going viral on social media.
After their cosmetic alterations, the pair hopped on a flight back home, delaying everyone because the man was still bleeding from a hair transplant while the woman was recovering from liposuction.
Eugenio Ernesto Hernandez-Garnier (27) was bleeding from hair transplant wounds when he boarded a flight at Miami International Airport on American Airlines alongside his wife, Yusleydis Blanca Loyola (32).
But on the way home to Las Vegas, passengers on the flight alerted attendants about Hernandez-Garnier's bleeding head, causing a fracas when these passengers were asked to leave.
The pair refused to disembark, and officers apprehended them.
As chaos ensued onboard, Loyola went live on TikTok as thousands watched police officers question her husband over the wounds with claims that the police 'abused' her.
She tells TikTok users, "You guys know I’ve got [a] breast lift, arm lipo. I can’t even walk. Call 911, we are being discriminated against and abused."
One officer tries to grab her phone, to which Loyola responds, "Do not put my phone down! He's just been operated on and they're hitting him."
As Loyola is apprehended and ushered away she's heard saying, "My breasts!"
According to police, all other passengers were forced to leave the plane as well, causing the flight to be delayed.
"This could have all been avoided if they would have just followed the commands or the request of the officers to vacate the aircraft," said Miami-Dade County police spokesperson Argemis Colomé.
"During boarding of American Airlines flight 1858 on 19 August with service from Miami (MIA) to Las Vegas (LAS), two customers became disruptive and were non-compliant with crew member instructions. Law enforcement responded and removed both customers from the aircraft. We thank our crewmembers for their professionalism and apologize to our customers for the inconvenience," read a statement by the airline.
"You know, a plane is a stressful environment and anything out of the ordinary on a plane, people just don't want part of it... This one was a health and safety issue. To have blood pouring out of his head is actually not a great look."
