The drunken passenger who grabbed a woman’s hair and spat in her face during an explosive meltdown on a Southwest Airlines flight is a New York City-based artist, who has worked for high-end brands like Maybelline, Steve Madden and Adidas, according to her online profile.
Leanna Perry, a 32-year-old illustrator, was filmed berating fellow passengers and throwing a violent fit as travelers and airline employees tried to remove her from the plane at LaGuardia airport early Tuesday morning.
The bizarre outburst led witnesses to describe Perry as seeming “possessed” before she was escorted off and arrested.
