A 'Derry Girls' actress, evicted from a Barcelona to Edinburgh flight due to an incident with the crew

BarcelonaThe Irish actress Jamie Lee O'Donnell, known for the series "Derry Girls and Leonard and Hungry Paul, was escorted by the police upon landing in Edinburgh on a flight from Barcelona, where she currently lives. According to Global Chronicle, this Sunday, during the Ryanair flight heading to the Scottish capital, O'Donnell allegedly had a confrontational attitude that led to an "incident" with the plane's crew.

According to testimonies collected by the digital media outlet, the actress, who showed no obvious signs of being drunk, "was moving a lot and constantly going to the bathroom," while continuing to "actively search for something in the luggage compartments." When a crew member called her attention, an argument broke out that quickly escalated to the point where the actress threatened to report the professional to the police. Furthermore, to allegedly document the events and file the complaint, O'Donnell began recording the cabin crew, despite being asked to stop.

Finally, when the plane landed in Edinburgh, the flight captain asked the passengers to remain seated while awaiting the arrival of four officers who escorted O'Donnell and his partner off the plane. Despite the conflict, Scottish police have confirmed that no complaint has been filed and that no crime was detected. The actress was traveling to Edinburgh to participate in the film festival held there, where she presented the film "Skintown.

Jamie Lee O'Donnell has been living in Barcelona for over a year, as she recently explained on the podcast Dish. In the conversation she had with the two hosts of the show, presenter Nick Grimshaw and chef Angela Hartnett, she stated that she decided to move to the Catalan capital impulsively after a rather intense therapy process that led her to cut contact with her family. "Honestly, I don't know why I chose Barcelona. I just thought, 'Where should I go? Let's trust the universe and all that.' I did therapy, which was pretty intense and hard, to be honest. And when I finished, I said to myself, 'Okay, it's time for a fresh start.' So I sold my house and said, 'Let's go, Barcelona,'" she explained. She assures that before moving she did research because she didn't know anyone in the city. "A few months before, I stayed there for a few days to see how I felt. And, at the end of the stay, it was like, 'Yes, this will work,'" she added.
