Jakarta – Alaska Airlines flight attendant Nelle Diala was fired after posting a TikTok video of herself twerking. She protested the airline’s decision.

Nelle Diala, a recently trained flight attendant still on probation, was terminated after twerking.

In late November 2024, while preparing for a morning flight, Diala danced on an empty plane. While waiting for passengers, she recorded herself twerking and posted it on TikTok.

In the video, she wore her Alaska Airlines uniform and danced to the song “Ghetto” by E.K.E.

The video went viral, garnering over 90,000 views, but the airline disapproved. Without prior notice or investigation, the company fired her, citing a violation of their social media policy.

“I explained that the video was not intended to harm anyone or the company, but they didn’t listen. Without warning, they fired me—no discussion, no chance to defend myself, and no proper investigation,” Diala told Business Insider on Monday (1/18/2025).

Diala reposted the video with a new caption: “Can’t even be yourself anymore in such a sensitive world. What’s wrong with a little twerk before work? People act like they’ve never done it before,” accompanied by the hashtag #discriminationisreal.
