At the time of the incident, Lennox live tweeted her experience. “Racism,” she captioned a photo of an airport employee talking to what looks like other staff members, taken from several feet away. “Wow Amsterdam I’m so horrified. I was so happy to travel and this evil woman… I’ve never experienced racism so blatant.”
After several other concerning posts, the Washington, D.C. native wrote, “I’m being arrested in Amsterdam for reacting to a woman racially profiling me.” Following Lennox’s claims, the Dutch airline company shared their side of the story, which accuses the R&B vocalist of disturbing public order and being drunk in public.
My only regret is my reaction to the racism and discrimination I experienced. I would like to explain what happened to me but KLM has made it clear that they never cared to hear it from jump. It’s painful being silenced like this. It’s painful what I went through. I’m not ok.
