Celeb-fave artist Ashley Longshore claimed she’d been “abused” by United Airlines staff — because a flight attendant told her to keep her pup inside its carrier during a jaunt to New Orleans.
Longshore, a favorite of stars like Blake Lively and Salma Hayek whose art goes for up to $10 million, took to Instagram with tears streaming from her puffy eyes after she was chided for taking her Brussels Griffon dog out to give it water.
“@United your flight attendant just made me shove and smash my dog under the seat and threatened me if I removed her or gave her water during a 3 hour flight! This is abusive!!!! I am so upset! I am sobbing!” she wrote in a since-deleted July 1 post.
“@united….. this is abusive and cruel. To tell me i can not give her water!!!!!!! To call the captain and threaten to kick me off the plane because i am sobbing…… Does anyone know what i can do here???? “
She continued: “This is absolutely CRUEL!!! @United this is BULLSH-T!!!!!!!! I have never made a rant like this on social media but this is my dog!!!! I am very upset,” the Alabama-born painter and sculptor vented in the caption, including the hashtag “#animalabuse.”
The post amassed 974 comments and 6,914 “likes” in the first two hours it was online.
