- Fitness influencer Jennifer Selter, known by some of fans as the "belfie queen," has 11.7 million Instagram followers.
- She was kicked off a New York-bound American Airlines plane after a row erupted with cabin crew.
- Instagram star shared a series of videos of the ordeal on Twitter.
With 11.7 million Instagram fans, 24-year-old fitness influencer Jennifer Selter from Long Island has amassed a huge social media following and was recently named the second most influential fitness star in the world by Forbes.
Alongside snaps of her workouts, Selter is known for sharing bikini-clad photos of her rear, which has earned her the title "belfie queen" by some fans.
But it appears she was not able to use her influence to diffuse a hostile situation aboard a New York-bound American Airlines plane while travelling with her sister at the weekend, upon which a big argument with cabin crew errupted.
On Saturday, Selter shared this video on Twitter in which a row appears to break out with cabin crew after she gets out of her seat on board the plane headed for her hometown of New York.
In the video, Selter says the plane has been sat on the tarmac for over two hours. She has since said that she only stood up to stretch and put her jacket away.
In the footage a fellow passenger interjects and appears to try and defend the Instagram star to airline staff.
Things appear to escalate, though, as Selter then posted a video showing police officers aboard the plane, who appear to have come to remove her.
"Just like that, 5 cops coming at me. Worst experience American Air," she captioned the post. One of the officers can be heard saying: "American Airlines calls the shots. They don't want you to fly on their plane today."
She shared a video having left the plane, captioned: "I did nothing wrong but got kicked off the plane."
Selter posted another video of a passenger, who she says also left the aircraft following the blogger's mistreatment by cabin crew.
"Here is a video of an innocent passenger who on her own decided to get off the plane based on how badly @AmericanAir treated us all," she said. "The girl in the video says that the cabin crew were shouting and harassing her after her and her sister got up to go to the bathroom."
According to Page Six, Selter said of the experience: "It was humiliating. They made me feel like a terrible person, and I did nothing wrong."
"I will never ever fly American Airlines again," she added. "I've seen cops come onto flights. But they shouldn't kick people off unless something is actually dangerous."
