Randi Zuckerberg, sister of Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has forced Alaska Airlines to launch a probe into an incident aboard a flight she was recently on.
Zuck’s sis says she was seated next to a male passenger who was “sexually harassing” her with repeated lewd sexual remarks, but that staff ignored her complaints about the man’s crude behavior.
Founder of Zuckerberg Media and Facebook Live, and one of Facebook’s early employees, Randi Zuckerberg said that the flight crew were “dismissive” of her complaints, telling her that the man was a regular on that route and that they’d tried to talk to him before.
Flight staff even offered to move her from first class to the back of the plane, but Zuckerberg objected: “Why should I have to move? I am the one that is being harassed,” she said in a letter to the airlines after the flight.
Feeling disgusted & degraded after an @AlaskaAir flight where the passenger next to me made repeated lewd sexual remarks. The flight attendants told me he was a frequent flier, brushed off his behavior & kept giving him drinks. I guess his $ means more than our safety? My letter: pic.twitter.com/xOkDpb0dYU

In a subsequent update, said she spoke to two Alaska Airline executives, who confirmed that they had “temporarily suspended” the errant passenger’s travel privileges on their airline.
UPDATE: I just got off the phone with two executives from @AlaskaAir who informed me that they are conducting an investigation and have temporarily suspended this passenger’s travel privileges. Thank you for taking this seriously.
