In a surprising turn of events, the flight attendant who accused former NFL star Terrell Davis of assault on a United Airlines flight from Denver to Orange County, California on July 13 is no longer employed by the airline.
Davis, a legendary running back with the Denver Broncos, claimed he was handcuffed and removed from the flight after lightly tapping a flight attendant on the arm to request a cup of ice. The flight attendant, who remains unidentified, then alleged that Davis became physical.
According to reports, the flight attendant told Davis, “Don’t hit me,” which left Davis confused. After landing in Orange County, the pilot requested all passengers to remain seated, and six FBI agents boarded the plane, taking Davis into custody. He was later released with apologies from the airline.
United Airlines has now confirmed to DailyMail.com that the flight attendant is no longer employed by the airline.

Davis was initially banned from the airline, but United later explained that the ban was an automated response and was promptly rescinded. However, Davis’ attorney, Parker Stinar, claims that his client never received notice of the ban’s rescission.
Davis has spoken out about the incident, expressing his humiliation and frustration. He has demanded an investigation and is calling for changes to United’s leadership.
“I continue to reflect on the reality that my family will never unsee me, nor will I ever forget, being taken off an airplane in handcuffs for simply asking for a cup of ice,” Davis wrote on social media. “We have had to endure difficult conversations with our children about how this has and will continue to affect them.”
Davis and his wife, former Miss California Tamiko Nash, were traveling with their three children: sons Jackson and Myles, and daughter Dylan.
