A Nigerian woman of American and Jamaican descent, identified as Yewande Oteh, has sued an airline claiming that a flight attendant deliberately poured red wine on her wedding dress

Nigerian bride sues American Airlines for $3.4m, says flight attendant 'intentionally' stained her wedding gown with red wine

The 31-page lawsuit filed in a New Jersey, US district court by Yewande's mother Yvette Sterling, stated that the American Airlines flight attendant, Melanie Masters, deliberately ruined Yewande's wedding dress during a flight in 2015.

According to her, Masters had refused to allow her store the dress in a closet, even though a ticketing agent at the Philadelphia airport had told her that she would be able to hang it while in the flight.

She claims Masters said the closet was not meant for keeping passengers' items.

Yewande who was flying from the US to Montego Bay, Jamaica for her destination wedding, said the incident affected her greatly as she suffered 'suffered severe diarrhea, dehydration and depressive symptoms and remained physically and emotionally ill over the next week' and wasn't able to enjoy her August 2015 wedding.
