Kyla Ebbert almost got thrown off a Southwest Airlines plane for her supposedly skimpy outfit. There’s a whole brouhaha surrounding the incident and Kyla Ebbert was even invited to the MSNBC’s Today Show to tell her story.
It was a lot more clothing than the 23-year-old college student wears on her job as a Hooters waitress. Her mother, Michele Ebbert, said she would have told her daughter if the outfit was inappropriate.
“But her outfit is fine, Michele Ebbert told TODAY co-host Matt Lauer. “She looks like every other college girl in San Diego.”
Not according to a Southwest employee identified only as “Keith,” who approached Ebbert after she had taken her seat on the plane and was listening to the flight attendants go through their pre-departure routine.
He asked her to step off of the plane and when they were in the jetway, he told her that her clothing was inappropriate and asked her to change her clothes.
“He told me, ‘I’m sorry, but you’re going to have to take a later flight. You’re dressed inappropriately. This is a family airline. You’re dressed too provocative to fly on this flight,’ ” she told Lauer.
Kyla Ebbert models the outfit she wore on the Southwest flight Friday on TODAY.
“I said, ‘What part of it, the shirt, the skirt? Which part?’ “ Ebbert continued, recounting her conversation with Keith about her outfit. “And he said, ‘The whole thing.’
At first sight, her outfit seemed pretty decent and I couldn’t help but think that the Southwest Airlines employee was being rather overzealous. Till Miss Kyla Ebbert tried to sit down in her micro miniskirt after showing off her outfit to Today’s co-host Matt Lauer.

Nuf’ said, she practically flashed everyone. So, was what she wearing indecent?

Don’t be so bloody stupid. It’s a dress and a top. Anyone who thinks that’s provocative has serious sexual issues

Mini skirts are getting way too short. If you can’t sit down comfortably without flashing everyone your underwear, you need to change. That IS inappropriate. Besides, what’s really so difficult about not dressing like a hooker?
