Pop star Bebe Rexha alleges airline worker threatened her for being Albanian

Pop star Bebe Rexha has said she was “threatened” by a Lufthansa airline worker for being Albanian, something the airline says they are reviewing.

In tearful posts on her Instagram story Saturday, the singer – who was born in the United States to Albanian parents – wrote: “Lufthansa, l’ve been threatened because I thought the security agent was Albanian. I spoke to him in Albanian asking where to get my ticket and now he is banning me from the flight.”

“I believe this to be a hate crime because I am Albanian,” she added.

She said that he “continued to mentally abuse me” and “Not one of the women at Lufthansa stepped in or said something.”

The singer-songwriter wrote that she has “never been so emotionally drained,” adding that the German airline had messaged her directly, but she urged them to do “a full investigation.”
