A Boston-based Nigerian woman, Yetunde Oteh has filed a lawsuit
demanding $3.4million (1billion naira) after alleging that an American
Airlines flight attendant destroyed her wedding dress as she was
travelling to her ceremony.
Yewande Oteh claims she ‘suffered severe diarrhea, dehydration and
depressive symptoms’ after a flight attendant went into an overhead bin
and dumped red wine on her wedding dress in court papers filed by her
mother in New Jersey.
She also claims that she remained ‘physically and emotionally ill over the next week’ and was unable to enjoy her Jamaican wedding, which took place back in August 2015.
The lawsuit is asking that Yewande, her lawyer husband Chidi, their then-nine-month-old son, her mother and attorney Yvette Sterling and her sister Dr. Kemi Fajolu each be compensated for the ‘sustained and continued emotional and physical distress.’
American Airlines told DailyMail.com in a statement:
The lawsuit is asking for $850,000 for each of the four counts: Negligence, Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress, Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress and Negligent Hiriing and Negligent Retention. (DAILY MAIL)
