The TikTok influencer was pushed to tears due to the incident
A TikTok star broke down in tears after opening up about making an honest mistake while at the airport.
Social media influencer Jos, also known as @nnnnylsoj to her 1.8 million TikTok followers, said she felt ‘humiliated’ before her trip to London.
The 21-year-old posted a video to her page of the incident on May 24 and explained that she mistakenly checked in the wrong bag at Austin International Airport ahead of boarding the plane.
Jos attempted to rectify the situation and spoke to a female Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agent about the issue.
The TikToker said that the agent took her through the check-in line to ‘switch her bag out’ and to return via the priority line to check in once she was done.

However, according to Jos, the TSA agent began being rude to her and a different agent apparently yelled at her for being in the wrong line.

When she tried to explain that the female TSA agent had told her she could go through priority, the woman allegedly denied this and told her to go through the normal line, rather than priority.
She claimed that the two agents as well as other agents began ‘making fun’ of her and Jos said the whole encounter felt ‘humiliating’.
The situation was only made worse when Jos alleged she was laughed at more for failing to push her luggage properly on the conveyer belt to be checked by security.
Speaking to UNILAD, Jos recalled how she tried to rectify the situation after uploading the tearful video to TikTok.
Many of her fans encouraged her to report the incident and to take it further as they insisted that she wasn’t being overly sensitive.
However, this didn’t prove to be as fruitful as the influencer would have hoped.

She said: “I decided to call the airport and they transferred me over to the TSA department, where I then spoke to someone over the phone.
“I told them exactly what happened and they directed me to speak to the supervisor working. I went back to TSA with my boyfriend, he saw a police officer next to the supervisor desk so he decided to go up to the officer and ask if he could get the woman’s name since she was still working and we saw her.”
Jos claimed the police officer was also rude and seemingly wasn’t interested unless she wanted to file a police report.
The influencer noted that she confronted the supervisor herself and again explained what had happened.
She said: “I decided to go up to the supervisor myself. I then told the supervisor everything that had happened. I told him how I cried how I felt like all of them were rude for no reason, the supervisor apologized on their behalf, and said that he would speak to the team.
“The TSA emailed me ‘Unfortunately, we are unable to respond to your inquiry based on the information you have provided. Please provide additional details regarding the type of information you are seeking so we can assist you’.
“It’s frustrating and upsetting.”

Woman, 27, found alive after 3 weeks missing in mountains details how she survived
Officials said it was a ‘miracle’ Tiffany Slaton survived her ordeal
A woman who went missing in the mountains for weeks has revealed just how she fought to stay alive.
Tiffany Slaton managed to survive a whopping 24 days alone, lost, and with minimal equipment trekking through the Sierra Nevada, California, mountains, after what was meant to be a three-day solo camping trip turned into a hefty expedition that almost claimed her life.
She faced adverse weather conditions, an avalanche, and a serious fall that knocked her unconscious and injured her leg, with officials saying it’s a ‘miracle’ she managed to survive.
Tiffany had set off on a trip on April 20 to explore Shaver and Huntington lakes in Fresno County but was reported missing by her concerned parents on April 29 when they didn’t hear from her for nine days.

Emergency responders launched a full-scale search party for Tiffany between May 6 to May 10 across Sierra National Forest, but found no trace of her.
The Jeffersonville, Georgia native was eventually found the day before her 28th birthday, some 40 miles away at Vermillion Valley Resort.
When she was finally found by the resort’s owner on Wednesday (May 14), officials say she had endured 13 snowstorms and climbed to altitudes of 11,000 feet.
She also lost 10lbs during her ordeal, as well as her tent, sleeping bags, and bike, leaving her with just a lighter, a knife, and some snacks.
Now, the 28-year-old has revealed what lengths she went to in order to stay alive.

Not long into her journey, Tiffany said she fell off a cliff and was unable to make it to the main track due to a recent avalanche.
She claimed she was unconscious for around two hours and had to splint one leg and ‘pop the other knee back into place’.
All five of her desperate calls to 911 failed to go through, so she resorted to trekking towards the nearest Starbucks, some 18 miles away, after GPS managed to work.
“I ended up on this very long, arduous journey that I journaled to try and keep sane and eventually managed to get to civilization,” she said.
Tiffany, a traveling dialysis technician as well as an experienced archer with horticultural training, said her talents helped her to forage in the wildness and, crucially, keep calm.

She wrote in a diary, gathered leeks to eat that she knew were native in the area, drank melted snow, and made a tea from manzanita and pine needles.
“The worst thing you can do in an emergency situation is panic,” she said.
On the last leg of her journey, Tiffany managed to navigate a 9,000-foot peak buried beneath 12 feet of snow which led her to a cabin and, finally, safety.
At first sight, she said she thought she was ‘hallucinating’ and considered she had ‘managed to make it to the North Pole’.
But once inside, she found the ‘best sleeping bag I had ever seen’ and was found just eight hours later by Christopher Gutierrez, who, as luck would have it, was able to get to the cabin after snowplows happened to clear the roads that day.
Tiffany said: “That was the 13th heavy snowstorm I had been in, and it was going to be the last one.

“If he hadn’t come that day, they would’ve found my body there.”
Christopher also recalled the moment he found her, saying: “She pops out, didn’t say a word, just ran up, and all she wanted was a hug.
“It was a pretty surreal moment. And that’s when I knew. That’s when I realized who this was.”
“I really do have a new faith in humanity,” Tiffany added.
Fresno County Sheriff John Zanoni also said in a press conference that her story is what ‘they would make movies about’.
“I would have never anticipated her in my wildest dreams being able to get back as far as she did,” he added. “It is truly an incredible story of perseverance, determination and survival.”Featured Image Credit: Fresno County Sheriff’s Office

TikTok ban being called ‘PR stunt’ after spotting ‘obvious’ details in app statements
Social media users are flooding online in heated debate after TikTok released statements thanking President Elect Donald Trump
Twitter users have noticed a stark similarity within three statements shared by TikTok.
Last year, President Joe Biden vowed to ban TikTok in the US alleging the app poses ‘a national-security threat of immense depth and scale’.
On January 17 earlier this year, the country’s Supreme Court upheld its ruling and the app ‘went dark’ yesterday (January 19).

TikTok’s statements
When TikTok ‘went dark,’ users were faced with the pop-up message: “Sorry, TikTok isn’t available right now. A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the US. Unfortunately, that means you can’t use TikTok for now.
“We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!”
An official statement released by the app read: “STATEMENT FROM TIKTOK: In agreement with our service providers, TikTok is in the process of restoring service. We thank President Trump for providing the necessary clarity and assurance to our service providers that they will face no penalties providing TikTok to over 170 million Americans and allowing over seven million small businesses to thrive.

“It’s a strong stand for the First Amendment and against arbitrary censorship. We will work with President Trump on a long-term solution that keeps TikTok in the United States.”
And another pop-up message to TikTokers added: “Welcome back! Thank you for your patience and support. As a result of President Trump’s efforts, TikTok is back in the US!
“You can continue to create, share and discover all the things you love on TikTok.”
And it hasn’t taken long for people to weigh in.

Online response to TikTok’s statement
A Twitter user said: “TikTok shut down in the US, only for it to come back 14 hours later and blast three separate statements to its millions of followers, saying that it was all thanks to Donald Trump, who isn’t even president yet.”
“This was such an obvious PR stunt to try to garner favor with Trump. They never had to take TikTok offline, and if they were legally required to, then nothing Trump said to them could have allowed them to restore service,” another added.
A third resolved: “I’ve never seen a government do so much to make such a problematic person relevant and suck d**k this hard to make him look like the savior. This blatant a*s pr stunt. Someone or something will always praise you for nothing if you’re a yt male. We are in dark days.”

Diddy’s former assistant reveals alleged six specific items he had to ‘set up’ his hotel rooms with as ‘freak off’ details emerge
The assistant was ordered to testify by the judge
A former assistant of Diddy has revealed the alleged six specific items that the rapper required for a ‘freak off.’
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is currently on trial in Manhattan after being arrested in September last year on charges including sex trafficking and racketeering.
The 55-year-old music mogul is accused of exploiting his celebrity status to create a sex crime ring involving drug-fueled sex parties through the use of force, threats and violence, all of which he denies.
The trial kicked off earlier this month with a heartbreaking testimony form his former long-term girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, who alleged physical violence at the hands of Combs and some bombshell insight into what went down in his so-called ‘freak off’ sex parties.

Cassie claimed the ‘freak offs’ involved her having sex with a male escort and that Combs would take drugs such as ketamine and MDMA.
Now, a former assistant to the disgraced father-of-seven, George Kaplan, has come to the stand as the 12th witness for the prosecution – and has some jaw-dropping insight of his own.
Kaplan reportedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right to not testify on the grounds of self incrimination, but judge Arun Subramanian granted him an immunity order that required him to take to the stand, reports CNN.
From the stand, the assistant said he traveled across the US with Combs, including New York, Miami, Atlanta, DC and Orlando, where his job involved setting up the rapper’s schedule for the day, like briefing the chef and housekeeping.
He would either travel by private jet with Combs or take his own flight to make sure the hotel room was ‘set up properly’ in anticipation of the ‘I’ll Be Missing You’ hitmaker’s arrival.

Kaplan also revealed how he first came to assist in preparing a hotel room for a ‘freak off.’
He said the first time he was initially given a bag to unpack with regular items, like clothes and a speaker, as well as candles, liquor, baby oil and lubricant.
Some of these items, like Johnson’s baby oil and bottles of lube, were recovered from Combs’ hotel room on the night of his arrest.
Cassie also similarly testified the specific way Combs would want a ‘freak off’ room to be set up, which reportedly included scented candles mixed with oil.

After the first time he unpacked the bag, Kaplan said he was often instructed to purchase the same set of supplies with his corporate credit card from either Combs himself or his boss, Kristina Korram, Combs’ former chief of staff.
The court heard how Kaplan joined Combs Enterprises in 2013 and promoted into the role 10 months later.
He says he worked between 80 to 100 hours per week, earning around $125,000, and would talk to Combs multiple times a day about anything he needed, like ‘clothing or potentially food from somewhere or drugs or liquor or an iPad or a speaker’.
In one part of his testimony, he also hinted at a heated moment with Combs.
He said the Bad Boy Records founder flew into a rage and came ‘close to my face’ after he had purchased two half-gallon bottles of BPA-free water from Whole Foods instead of a one-gallon bottle as per Combs’ supposed request.
James also testified as a witness for the prosecution (John Lamparski/Getty Images)
The testimony also comes as another ex-assistant, David James, who worked with the musician for two years, also said he would stock Combs’ hotel rooms with clothes, iPads, snacks (like applesauce, Jell-O and Fiji water), a cosmetics bag and a medicine bag reportedly filled with ’35 to 40′ different types of medications.
James listed Advil, Tylenol, water pills (to lose weight), and Viagra as some of the tablets in the bag.
He further claimed that Diddy’s security would carry a Louis Vuitton bag filled with around $10,000 in cash.
In the raid on his hotel room, law enforcement also uncovered drugs, Clonazepam medication, a Louis Vuitton bag and a fanny pack with $9,000 stuffed inside.
The trial continues.
