Victim of #PlaneBae Calls Social Media Attention & # 39; A Digital-Age Warning Tale about Privacy & # 39;

Filming strangers without their consent is not at all romantic, says the woman at the heart of #PlaneBae

For those who do not know it, the woman named Rosey Blair has documented an apparently spontaneous novel forming between two strangers in an airplane.

Blair asked the unidentified woman to change places with her so Blair could sit with her boyfriend. The new neighbor of the anonymous woman turned out to be the former professional football player turned mannequin Euan Holden.

Blair began documenting the interactions between the woman and Holden, who seemed to become more affectionate over time.

The chronicle has grown on social media under the hashtag #PlaneBae, but now the woman has come forward to say that there is nothing romantic about to search others.

"I am a young professional woman.On July 2, I took a commercial flight from New York to Dallas," said the woman in a statement issued by Business Insider . "Without my knowledge or consent, other pbadengers photographed and recorded my conversation with a bench seat neighbor."

"They posted images and recordings on social media and speculated unfairly on my private conduct. Police and firefighters get their "Funk Uptown" in viral video

The woman said the social media frenzy has caused unwanted attention both online and in her Everyday life: Personal information has been widely disseminated online. Foreigners have publicly discussed my privacy based on obviously false information. I was despised, humiliated, insulted and harbaded. The voyeurs came to get me online and in the real world. "

" I have not asked and I am not looking for attention. #PlaneBae is not a romance – it's a digital warning story about privacy, identity, ethics and consent, has it? she concluded. "Please, continue to respect my privacy and my desire to keep anonymous."

Blair, to his credit, apologized after the publication of the statement and regretted to take on the story of another woman.
