Samantha Fox threatened to knock police officer’s teeth out On Drunken BA flight
On September 2, 2024, former Page Three model Samantha Fox faced court after a drunken incident on a British Airways flight. The 58-year-old singer and reality TV star threatened a police officer, saying she would “knock his teeth out” and claimed to know where he lived12.
The Incident
The incident occurred on a flight from London to Hamburg in December 2023. Fox, who had been drinking to calm her nerves, became confrontational and disruptive. Flight staff noticed her slurring her words and behaving strangely. She argued with gate staff and her wife, Linda Olsen, before boarding the plane12.
Once on board, Fox’s behavior escalated. She rocked back and forth in her chair and headbutted the seat in front of her. The crew decided to return the plane to the gate, and police were called to remove her12.
Confrontation with Police
As officers escorted Fox off the plane, she became verbally abusive. She told one officer, “I know where you live, I’ll knock your teeth out,” and called him derogatory names. Security footage showed her making these threats as she was led to the cells12.
Court Proceedings
Fox appeared at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court, where she pleaded guilty to being drunk and disorderly and using threatening behavior. Her defense attorney explained that she had been suffering from severe anxiety and had consumed alcohol to cope. Fox apologized for her actions, stating that she was on her way to a charity event in Germany12.
Impact and Reactions
The incident caused a significant delay, costing British Airways over £1,700. The court heard that Fox’s behavior had caused alarm and distress to both passengers and crew. Despite the charges, the court dropped an assault charge against her due to insufficient evidence12.
Samantha Fox’s actions have sparked widespread media attention and public reaction. Many have expressed disappointment, while others have shown sympathy for her struggles with anxiety. As she awaits sentencing, Fox’s case serves as a reminder of the serious consequences of disruptive behavior on flights.
